​Craig David addresses rumours that he's gay

Craig David wants to press re-rewind on persistent rumours about his sexuality.

The 35-year-old garage star has addressed claims that he’s gay in an interview.

Talking about an article in Noisey which referred to rumours of his ‘confused sexuality’, David said: ‘I sort of find it weird when people get very “No! I’m not gay!” I mean, are you homophobic in some way?

‘So I’ve always been relaxed when people are not quite sure [about me.]’

Just to clear things up, he added: ‘But knowing myself, I’m heterosexual and it’s cool.’

The musician also revealed that he was a huge hit with the ladies in his time – but could never be the type to ‘love ’em and leave ’em’.

He explained: ‘Back in the day there were different girls, and it was fun, but I was brought up with basic morals.

‘So I couldn’t even do the thing you’re supposed to do with a one-night stand and be all: “OK, your taxi’s here!” – my mum would kill me!

‘So by the virtue of me trying to be the nice guy, [the girls would] catch feelings.’

‘That was such a wrong place to be. Also it doesn’t work, chasing the dream, messing round with loads of girls, burning the candle at both ends.’

The singer is now more interested in working on his abs and has released a new album Following My Intuition.
