This week, Gareth Gates released a video on social media detailing his experience with three women aboard a P&O cruise ship in the Caribbean. The 39-year-old singer, who recently won Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, revealed that the trio had been subjecting him to verbal abuse, making fun of his stutter with the song Changes by David Bowie and eventually uttering “G-G-G-Gareth Gates” whenever he was around.
Gareth is no stranger to bullying, having been subjected to it in school due to his stutter. He has even documented his experience in a BBC Three series called Stop My Stutter.
In the video, Gareth explained that the verbal abuse started every time he and his girlfriend, actress Alanna Taylor, went out on their balcony. He also shared that the women were around the same age as his mother and that P&O had been very supportive in moving his cabin. After Alanna had confronted the women, the situation had improved.
Gareth ended the video with a reminder to stand up to bullying, and he was met with an outpouring of support from both his fans and famous pals. Danielle Lloyd commented: “Shame on them Gareth you’re so strong and an amazing person. Sadly in life there will always be people who are unhappy with themselves and have to try to bring others down!!! Raise above it my darling.”
Gareth’s video is a reminder of how important it is to stand up to bullying and be kind to one another. It’s a message that we should all take to heart.
