Gillespie Sells urges gay stars to come out

Dan Gillespie Sells has called on gay musicians to come out of the closet.

The Feeling frontman, who revealed his sexuality in 2006, is urging other stars to follow in his footsteps and stop "living a lie".

He is quoted as saying: "The world would be a healthier place if people were more honest about their sexuality and the entertainment industry would be healthier if people were more honest full stop.

"The more of us who come out, the easier it is for others. My advice for anyone considering coming out would be to do it for themselves. It's not fun living a lie."

Gillespie previously revealed that he was brought up by "two lesbian mothers".
