"For years I hid the real me. and now I am finally happy."
Geordie Shore star, Grant Coulson, has found love with a man.
Coulson, who was on the show back in 2014, says he has fallen in love with his partner, Scott, who he has every intention to marry.
The 31-year-old was known at the time as a womaniser, reputed to have slept with over thirty women during his tenure on the show. But now he has revealed he was hiding the real him.
Speaking to The Sun, Coulson said: "I think now I just feel more comfortable with who I am. For years I hid the real me and now I am finally happy, I feel like everyone needs to know the real me.
"I feel like I have been hiding myself for such a long period of time, it just a bit of a weight lifted off my shoulders."
Coulson said that his time on the show was an uncomfortable experience.
He explained: "When I was doing TV shows I didn't want anyone to know back then because I feel like it would have ruined the opportunity.
"It was a bit like you were in a character because on Geordie Shore, you are around these alpha males who go out every night pulling lasses basically. And that's the kind of people they wanted on the show at the time, yeah.
"So I had to go along with that, it wasn’t who I was but for so long I had to pretend to be that kind of thing. I would beat myself up, think how much more of this can I do, how much longer can I lie for and be this person I’m not."
Coulson added that he was even hospitalised as a result of the mental health struggle Geordie Shore brought on.
He added: “I was actually hospitalised, I was on anxiety medication. I couldn’t work, I stopped socialising with people. I locked myself away for a good six months.”
Thankfully, Coulson is much better now and thanks his partner Scott for bringing out the best in him.
He said: "I 100% I wouldn’t be talking about it, it’s only because I have found someone I am comfortable with, who is exactly the same as me. He just brings out the best in me and I bring out the best in him.
“He moved in and we have some big plans in the next couple of months. We have a dog together, called Hugo, so it’s going well. I feel like he is the one, I have definitely settled down. I hope marriage is on the cards.”
