"To my horror, it was Elton John's husband!"

Series 2 kicks off with ex-pro rugby league player, Keegan Hirst. 
In 2015, Keegan became the first active rugby player to come out as gay, a story which gripped national television and newspapers. 

Keegan shares his incredible story on deciding to come out, reflects on a night out with Sir Ian McKellen and cringes whilst remembering a drunken encounter with Elton John's husband, David Furnish!
