Hmm, it looks like Alex Lee
is looking for attention lately:
Quote:
Big Brother 2011 finalist Alex Rose Lee has come out as gay in a heartfelt interview.
Talking to DIVA magazine, Alex – who finished third behind Aaron Allard-Morgan and Jay McKray in the 2011 series – explained that she has been attracted to women since she was younger.
"It's only quite recently that I was able to find the strength to come out and say, 'Look, I'm gay'. I was saying to people over the last couple of years that I was bisexual," she reflected.
"It wasn't until I was at Gran Canaria Pride that I was like, 'You know what? It just feels so great to be around so many strong women and men.' When I arrived back to the UK, my mum picked me up at the airport and I said, 'Look, I need to tell you something.' And I just said it in the car park.
"She was just made up about it. I think she knew anyway, but I hadn't said it out loud and being able to say it I feel so much better. I felt like a huge weight off my shoulders."
Alex added that while she wasn't nervous about her close friends finding out, she was nervous with the people who only know her from Big Brother. "I didn't want to let them down. I didn't really know how people on social media would take it," she explained.
She's currently single, but has "dated a few girls" and aside from her love life, she is keen to get back into the reality TV game.
"It would need to be something to appeal to the gay scene. We need a Love Island for gay people and a Take Me Out for women. I was watching Dinner Date last night and it was a lesbian version and I loved it," Alex enthused.
