As we continue our journey through the world of entertainment, we turn our attention to Joe Lycett, the well-known comedian who never backs down from speaking his mind. In a recent podcast appearance, he delved into his personal life, shedding light on his relationship and his sexuality.
You may know Joe for his various stunts that often make headlines, or from his appearances on popular panel shows and his own TV show, Late Night Lycett. However, on Bimini Bon-Boulash's podcast, The Pieces, he opened up about a topic that he doesn't often discuss publicly - his partner.
Joe revealed that his girlfriend, whom he affectionately calls "Denise," prefers to keep a low profile due to her job. To respect her privacy, Joe uses a pseudonym when talking about her. "I call her Denise because she hates the name Denise, so, uh, I live with Denise," he jokingly shared.
Throughout his career, Joe has been open about being pansexual, and he once again discussed his sexual identity with Bimini, a former contestant on Ru Paul's Drag Race. He explained, "Well, it's interesting now being in a long-term relationship with a woman because loads of people are like, sorry what? There was a brief period when I was at school when I thought because I was attracted to men, I was gay, and then I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on."
He went on to say that he now identifies as pansexual, meaning he is attracted to people regardless of their gender. However, he often uses the term bisexual as a quick explanation when asked. He also joked about the struggle of explaining his sexuality to "idiots" as it is more nuanced than simply being attracted to every person on earth.
When it comes to his own attractions, Joe humorously admitted that he is often drawn to certain physical features rather than a person's gender. "Often it's like a good torso is enough, you know? The little abs. Yeah, that's it. The lines. The torso is dangerous. A lovely arm," he shared.
Despite his openness, Joe acknowledged that people still assume he is gay because of his "camp" television persona. He finds it challenging to be viewed in a certain way and joked about struggling with the idea of being a "straight man" who dresses the way he does.
In the end, Joe emphasized that his sexuality is no one else's business, stating, "And I don't really care what anyone else thinks about it these days, because I just think it's nothing to do with you." He also encouraged others to embrace their true selves, regardless of societal expectations.
It's always refreshing to see someone like Joe Lycett, who doesn't shy away from being himself and speaking his truth. We can't wait to see what he'll do next, whether it's making us laugh with his comedy or challenging societal norms. Keep being you, Joe!
