Many TV producers are gay particularly in the world of showbiz, it must be tempting for some wanting to get ahead to camp it up or pretend to be gay to help their career ?

With the pink pound, these days presenting an image of being gay could be very lucrative financially?

    Well, I think a lot of the over-the-top camp ones are not as camp as they'd like you to think they are. I mean, who can be that high energy all the time? Even Louie Spence couldn't keep it up in the CBB house...

    I have my suspicions about a number of celebs, they have probably tapped into that market present themselves as camp/gay and pocket the rewards.

    I'm surprised the public haven't twigged what's been going on, I think the public will be shocked to learn which celebs are hetro.

    This reminds me of the sketch (can't remember who) of Gok Wan which portrayed him as a straight man pretending to be gay so he could touch women up.

    David Bowie has apparently always been straight.

    John Barrowman has a wife and kids. Seen the proof. For the shocking TRUTH google 'Five-ish Doctors reboot'. :o

    (the Gok Wan sketch was with John Culshaw. The Impressionists Show? Did a funny sketch with Ross Kemp being scared of various 'gangs' like the Brownies too.)

    Weeelll, made me chuckle, anyway.

    That's the most obvious actual example.

    There is a very camp tv presenter on NI tv called Julian Simmonds...he is very keen to play on the fact he is so camp and of course it follows in people's minds that he is gay. BUT...about 10 years ago I saw him at a cinema slobbering over one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. He was looking at her like he was REALLY into her....though God knows what she would have seen in him, he's gross.

    People fancy different people. What you think is gross, someone else might think is very good looking.

    Brendan O'Carroll (Mrs Brown) perhaps? He's certainly one of the very few drag acts that's married with children.

    It's encouraged by agents and you are on the ball.

    He's not really a drag act. He's a comedian whose main character is a woman. Other comedy acts like Les Dawson, Dick Emery, Monty Python etc have all dressed up as women for comedy.
