Ive always liked Will Young, such an insightful interview 💗

[@stevej4328]

kudos to Will for seeming to be coping with the relatively recent death of his twin brother.

I remember the little Gareth was the favourite to win, Simon Cowell and the media all backed Gareth. But the public voted for Will Young.

[@amyclarke41]

us public got taste but I like Gareth 2

Cheers from Brazil! Will is great!

Wondered where this title was going at first.

All parents want is for their kids to have an easy path through life.

[@Capybarrrraaaa]

Not the case. Most parents want their kids to have *their* path through life.

[@geezalee1677]

Really sad, people are not following what actually Will Young is saying, very educational. He is absolutely right straight men are programmed from childhood.

I don't think any love is wrong ever i never got bothered by it

Love when Ian Dale punched a protester, supprised he's still on air - should've been sacked

[@roddi733]

Cashing in on victim status is clearly such an alluring one, even for someone who won national pop competition voted by the British public, and went onto a successful and lucrative pop career and enjoyed a life of opportunity, privilege, VIP treatment and perks that most of us can only dream of, but I guess once the hits dry up and the reality shows don't work out then it's the next logical destination.

[@jeremygough1387]

Bitter by any chance?

[@roddi733]

Jeremy Gough well done now try a bit harder

[@Shelsight]

@@roddi733 I don’t think Jeremy needs to - you did it to yourself with that clearly bitter comment…

[@amyclarke41]

tad harsh but its your view

[@TheDoobman]

Ian Dale talks about meeting Will Young 17 years ago and apparently got on really well ... Will walks in “nice to meet you”. A positive message but can’t help but feel these two love the attention.

[@upendasana7857]

can't you ? what you mean because they are talking and in the public sphere and one sings for a living..yeah terrible that..such attention seeking behaviour...maybe they should just be quiet and never talk and live in a cupboard !! maybe you are not getting enough attention...huh..that might explain your rediculous judgemental comment.

[@marianrussell6089]

Oh dear, will young, how sad this all is.
