Popstar and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Will Young has revealed what happened when he downloaded Grindr.
The Pop Idol winner opened up about his tough time dating guys.
He previously went two years without having sex ā prompting the star to resort to dating apps.
He told The Guardian that a friend suggested he download the popular gay dating application.
āHe just said: āWho cares?ā And yeah, who cares? Iām an adult,ā Will said.
However his Grindr experience didnāt exactly go to plan.
Using a real photo of himself led many to disbelieve the profile was truly Will Youngās.
And, within little time, Grindr had removed the profile after it was flagged as fake.
āThat was a time then, and I think it can move into unhealthy behaviour.
āNow I want a relationship that is a different thing to having a shag.ā
Earlier this year Young revealed that he was āamazedā pics of his penis had not yet made it online, however.
āIām amazed that, given the amount of people Iāve sent pictures of my cock to, that itās not become famous, too,ā he said.
Shortly after Twitter users claimed to have seen those very pics.
Within 48 hours of the comments a website claimed to have obtained his x-rated pics, posting them to an explicit website.
Twitter users acknowledged the alleged image of Young, with one writing: āMight have accidentally seen Will Youngās supposed d**k picā.
āWell I have now seen a picture of Will Young that I never thought I would see and I donāt know if I will ever sleep again,ā added another.
The picture said to be of the popstar shows the lower half of his body in the bath, with the penis erect and clearly in shot.
If it does turn out to be his ā and he hasnāt offered any comment on the pic ā then he might not be too disappointed at its leaking.
He had previously lamented: āMaybe thereās just not enough interest in it?ā
