George Shelley took to YouTube earlier today (February 3) to post a short but heartfelt video about rumours flying around the internet.
After allegedly being the victim of a leak of private messages between he and a male model on Instagram, along with intimate pictures, George decided to clear things up.
In the video he explains: "I've been on a personal journey and I want you to be part of that journey from now on. I wanna start 2016 with a clean slate.
"I went into the jungle and it gave me a lot of time to reflect on what's important to me and what is important to me is that I can be myself and I don't feel I should hide anything. So here it is.
"I've been reading a lot of speculation online as to whether I'm straight, or gay, or bi and it's all these labels, it's a little bit old fashioned and this is why I'm not gonna label it myself. It's not something I feel I can label.
"I've had girlfriends that I've loved and have been amazing periods in my life, but I've also had boyfriends and I just want you to know that whether I decide to be with a girl next or be with a guy next, it is because I love them and it shouldn't be a big deal.
"I don't wanna make a big thing out of it when it happens and I don't wanna be scared anymore. I don't wanna feel like I can't be myself because I'm worried about what somebody might be saying about me, or the label thing and all that stuff.
"I've not changed, I'm still me, I'm still the same person I've always been, but like I said, I'm just becoming a little bit less scared of being myself, and that makes me quite happy."
