Olly Murs: I'm probably 20% gay. Everyone's got a bit of campness about them

Olly Murs could be flirting with a different definition of sexuality after a recent interview with the Sun.

After Sacha Baron Cohen's claims that "all men have homosexual tendencies", Olly seemed to agree.

He said he was "probably the same, or maybe 20%". His name was soon trending across the UK on Twitter.

"I've got a lot of gay friends. I get on with really well. I get on with everyone. Everyone's got a bit of campness about them," he said.

Pansexuality is defined as "a person whose sexual attraction is not based on gender and may themselves be fluid when it comes to gender or sexual identity".

One user wasn't impressed.

Another voiced his frustration.

This person argued "being camp doesn't make you gay".

Some were more optimistic over his announcement.

But the singer was keen to give the haters a bit of context.

He tweeted "don't just read the headline you plonkers".

"I'm still young enough to go out and have a good time, so I'm not going to let Snapchat and all those social media things stop me.

"I don't like being single, I prefer being in a relationship, so hopefully it won't be for too long. I haven't been on a date in ages though."

At least he's keeping his options open.
