Out and PROUD!

This Pride Month we take a look at some of the UK's most inspiring LGBTQ+ stars

- 

JONATHAN BAILEY

He's best known for playing heart-throb Lord Anthony in Bridgerton and most recently Fiyero in Wicked, but actor Jonathan said that playing a straight man made him 'hyper aware' of his sexuality. The star, 37, said, 'I was hyper aware of the complexities and nuances of how I felt about myself being a gay man, let alone a gay actor, and suddenly finding success in playing a straight part and talking about that.' Since rising to fame Jonathan has become a patron for the charity Just Like Us, which supports young LGBTQ+ people, helping them thrive in school and beyond.
