George Shelley reveals he has been homophobically abused in the street in furious tweet
The former Union J singer spoke out about the shocking incident on social media after having a homophobic term shouted at him in the street
GEORGE Shelley has revealed he was the victim of a vicious homophobic verbal assault tonight.
The former Union J singer - who came out as bisexual two years ago - spoke out about the shocking incident on social media after having a homophobic term shouted at him in the street.
He wrote on Twitter: "Ok so this man just shouted 'f*****' at me... f***ing hell 2018 get your s*** together."
George revealed he was bisexual in an emotional video back in 2016 after his stint in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
He said: "I want to 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 I can be myself.
"I don't feel that I should hide anything, so... I've been reading a lot of speculation online about whether I'm straight or gay or bi and it's all these labels.
"It's a little bit old fashioned and that's why I'm not going to label it myself.
"It's not something that I feel like I can label. I've had girlfriends that I've loved and that have been amazing periods of my life and I've also had boyfriends.
"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 want to feel that I can't be myself because I'm worried about what somebody might be saying about me.

"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 less scared of being myself. And that makes me quite happy."
Last year he went public with model boyfriend Matthew Holehouse with a racy Instagram snap, before they later split.
