An 18-year-old housemate has come out as gay on the UK version of Big Brother.

Vlogger Cameron Cole won over audiences as he worked up the courage to come out of the closet on national TV, sharing the heartfelt moment with his fellow contestants.

Cole was prompted to make the life-changing decision after a fellow gay contestant, Cian Carrigan admitted that he had a crush on him.

“I just want to f*cking say it — or not say it, but I just want it done,” Cole said.
“It’s one of those things that you’re never ready for. Because the last four years, I’ve been waiting to be ready. And I’ve never felt ready.”

He continued, reflecting on Cian's confession: “Everyone thinks I’m acting weird because someone said they like me… They don’t understand that there’s more layers to that.”
Cole then urged a fellow housemate to ask him ‘the question’ ("are you gay?"), to which he responded: "yes".

"Now my whole world changes forever," the teenager said.
After urging Lewis to ask him ‘the question’, he replied: ‘yes’, adding he was one of the first people to know. Cameron added: ‘Now my whole world changes forever.’
