Pop star not scared of gays
After yesterday's mystifying comments from Enrique Iglesias, a another pop singer has been sharing his views on Britain's favourite sexuality.
Shayne Ward, who won the votes of millions of the sort of people who watch ITV1 to become a national star, has been speaking to gay magazine AXM.
We don't know if it was a formal interview or if he has just been ringing round magazines in an attempt to boost his public profile, but no matter.
He appears to be suffering from reality TV-itis, whereby artists spawned from shows like X-Factor and all the rest have a brief period of intense success, then flop.
Shayne had a number one, then a number two, then a number 14.
Damn - time to tell the gays you love them.
"As a straight guy, it's flattering, it gives you great self-confidence. I'm not ashamed that it's a guy fancying me, I think it's a good thing," he said of the attention he gets from a certain section of the gay community.
Now, do you think he might have a single coming out?
Hmm, I think so actually. But hey - anyone who can come up with such a delightful spelling variation for the name Shane is OK in our book.
The single (pictured above) is called "If That's OK With You." and it will be available in da shops from 19th August.

Well Shayne comes from the giant Hattersley overspill estate at Hyde in Greater Manchester as does Rocky Hatton the boxer - the two were contemporaries at school.This is the Tameside Metropolitan Borough that has been Labour-controlled for the past 30 years and is "aggressively" gay-friendly - a northern Brighton without the sea.There is much redevelopment of both Hyde and Stalybridge by Urban Splash where canal-side flats are being bought up ferociously "off-plan" by the Manchester Gay Community eager to move away from the Manchester city centre where the Gay Village is getting rough after being invaded by gangs of Str8 louts .
