Love Island contestant Josh Mair has denied he is gay in a new Instagram post.
The TV star said addressed the rumors directly yesterday, saying: ‘I never have and never will be [gay or bisexual].’
He made the statement alongside a topless picture of himself, naturally.
‘People can see and date whoever they like’
‘Right I feel like this topic needs clearing up as it’s getting a bit out of hand now…’ he said. ‘For everyone wondering no I am not gay or bi sexual [sic], I never have and never will be.’
He furthermore added: ‘I have nothing against gay or bi people either before anyone throws that card at me, people can see and date whoever they like. What I will say though is don’t believe everything you read.’
Rumours around Josh’s sexuality began after he posed for a picture with his friend Harry Bird on Instagram earlier this year.
Harry shared the photo, which showed the pair on a beach, with the caption: ‘Happy valentine’s day bae.’
He later added the hashtags: ‘#Bros #Bestmates’.
Josh was ‘dumped’ from the island of the ITV reality show earlier this week alongside fellow contestant Mair and Stephanie Lam. They have since ruled out a romance together.
