Look at Me

They are arguably the funniest thing on Channel 4. Affectionately dubbed the “Gogglebox Gays”, Chris and Stephen won the hearts of the nation in that first series and despite chops and changes to the programme they’ve managed to prove they’ve got staying power. We caught up with Brighton local Chris Steed to talk Space Docking, Cher’s retirement to a garden centre and the strangest thing he’s ever heard about himself.

In Deep Sam Giffen

For those of you who didn’t tune into Big Bro this summer, Sam Giffen was one of the four gay guys the producers put into the house, can anyone say drama? We caught up with the surprisingly down to earth Northern lad to run our hands through his thick lush hair and talk, thinking deep and Tina Turner - of course.

Danyl Johnson

He’s noted as being one of Simon Cowell’s all time favourite auditionees, but the public interest in Danyl Johnson wasn’t, sadly, just about his singing talent during his time on the X Factor. It was all about who he was or wasn’t having relationships with. Within weeks of his first appearance on the show, the press had made up their mind that he was bisexual and that he fancied all four of the judges, Dannii, Cheryl, Simon and Louis. THEGAYUK’s editor Jake Hook took some time to talk with Danyl about one of British TV’s most awkward moments (the time that Dannii Minogue seemingly outed him on live, national TV), why Whitney Houston was not impressed with him and why having a dog helps you when you’re single.

Michelle Visage

Michelle Visage is like the ultimate gay icon. So naturally we had her over for a cuppa to talk Drag Race, Christmas time and why being the tough judge has its benefits as well as its downfalls (even death threats!) We present Mama Visage.
