photoPeople don't believe me that I am shy face-2-face, despite being a right cheeky monkey on some Forums. Orginally from the West Country, but transplanted to Reading in early 90s. Joined OUT for both Gay Male & Female friends, to break the feelings of isolation after the breakup of a long term relationship.

One of the finalists in a popular ITV reality show has admitted he is straight after an Australian gay website DNA declared him to be "openly gay."

Austin Drage, who is competing in the The X Factor, turned to the Daily Star to declare his heterosexuality.

"I am sorry to disappoint but I am not gay," he told the paper.

"But I am very flattered to have a gay fan base.

"And I appreciate all the support I have been getting while on The X Factor."

The 22 year old added that he has a girlfriend.

DNA, in a section where they publish pictures of topless men on their site, said in December 2007:

"Multimedia star from the UK, Austin Drage appeared in the Guy Ritchie movie Snatch as well as on TV in Casualty and The Bill.

"Openly gay, his main love is music. And he appeared for a time as part of the band 5Boyz."

Mr Drage is a finalist in Simon Cowell's solo male category on The X Factor.

... I like the way he has dealt with this saying he is flattered at Gay fan base. I am sure other young men would not handle this as well.
