"Literally the weekend before the TV guide was coming out with us on the cover and the show's name, I had to tell them." It was driving in the car with his mother that Kressley, then 34 years old, finally plucked up the courage. I said 'The show that I'm doing is called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'. On the show I'm A Celeb, Kressley also opens up to his campmates about the bullying he suffered as a young gay person, including frequent physical violence at school - often in class. "The thing that's especially difficult for gay kids: You go home and you're afraid to tell anyone, because you're afraid nobody will love you."
