Les McKeown of Bay City Rollers: I’m Gay

What would you do if you’re a famous member of a famous boy band, have girls running after you, married for 25 years, and have sex with men on the side?

Well, if you’re Les McKeown of the Bay City Rollers, you would tell your wife about your homosexuality after you revealed it on a TV documentary. Says Les of his secret gay life:

‘I’ve been a bit of a George Michael, meeting people, often strangers, for sex,’ he said.

‘Not in public toilets – I’m not big on the unhygienic side of things.

‘These days you’d meet online and figure out a place where to meet – your place or mine.’

And what does his wife, Peko, say about this? She was shocked but she also had her suspicions. Says her to him:

‘I’m glad you’ve told me because always I’d wondered,’ Peko cried. ‘I’d guessed but I was not sure.

‘This is my husband – my family. We are cool.’

More from Les:

McKeown said his wife was standing by him and he was trying to repair his relationship with his son.

‘I’ve apologised to Peko,’ he said. ‘We’re going to see how things go.’

He added: ‘When I agreed to do the TV series I didn’t think I’d end up talking about things like this, but I feel relieved now it’s out in the open. I think it will give me the opportunity to blossom a little bit.

‘If you’ve got a secret and you’re a rotten lying b*****d you always have to be careful of your lies. Now that I don’t have a secret I can’t get found out, can I?’
