Anthony Callea's pal Tim Campbell says 'I'm gay too'
CHANNEL 7 star Tim Campbell, the friend Idol star Anthony Callea turned to after his romance broke up, has publicly come out to announce he is gay but that he and Callea are just friends.
The former Home and Away actor and Dancing with the Stars contestant told the Herald Sun about his sexuality, following rumours he was dating former Australian Idol contestant Anthony Callea.
I'm reckons both he and Anthony have each broken up with their partners and for now, are just friends.
"(Anthony and I) are mates he's had his rough trot, I'm going through a rough trot and I'm really concerned for my (ex) partner," Tim says.
"Part of me will probably always love him because 11 years is a lot to share with each other."
Tim and Anthony became friends after performing together in the musical Rent.
It's just one string in the multi-talented actor's bow he is now in rehearsals to play Johnny O'Keefe in the musical Shout, he has hosted National Bingo Night, and following a successful stint on Dancing with the Stars, is a hot tip to replace Daryl Somers as its host next year.
But more than anything, Tim is hopeful his sexuality won't overshadow his work.
"There's nothing in the way of being ashamed about this (but) the label thing worries me a bit because I don't want my work to be affected," he says.
"If every time I'm written about now it's as 'the gay actor' it would bore the hell out of me.
"Coming out at 20 changed me a bit, but at 32, I'm pretty comfortable with who I am and what I'm doing."
