The person interviewing me was gracious for the most part, but there were some questions that he asked without being kind or thoughtful or empathetic,’ he explains. It’s really difficult,’ he says. ‘You hear these stories of the Home Office where people get their asylum rejected because they’re not considered “gay enough”. But even when I was at the interview, I toned down who I was. I wore a suit and I adopted a “straight” persona because you can be seen as trying too hard to prove your sexuality. The man who interviewed me said that people wear pink to interviews to try and be believed more.’ Bradley Cooper says he almost quit Maestro prior after meeting on a plane with a woman who claimed to be Leonard Bernstein's goddaughter Frankly, it’s impossible to “prove” your sexuality,’ he says. ‘Effectively, it all depends on how consistent your story is. If there’s inconsistencies, no amount of photos of you at Pride events will make a difference.

There were a lot of things to consider but I was getting injured, I wasn't eating properly, I wasn't sleeping. It just made everything so much worse. I just knew that I had to come out."I was with men, women, men and women at the same time, with cross-dressers, and have cross dressed myself.

I feel like I would have done my job and inspired someone else to do that. I just want it to go up from here.” Daniels said it was also "frustrating" to see former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard become Al-Ettifaq's manager in July.Daniels hopes the experiences of him, Cavallo and Jankto will lead to more male footballers feeling comfortable enough to come out.

It's a surprise it's not been on Channel 4 already, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS In the book she rails against right-wing governments here and abroad. She describes Suella Braverman, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson as evil (partly, in Johnson’s case, because Brexit has prevented her and Sutherland living in their Italian house for more than 90 days of the year). ‘I don’t think the Tory party was always corrupt and incompetent. But it is now,’ she tells me. ‘And it’s very sad for people who are lifelong Tories. I don’t hate those people. I feel pity for them, actually. Where do they go?
