Icon Colin Jackson Comes Out

03/09/2017

Colin Jackson, former Olympic champion athlete and a BBC Sports Correspondent, has formally come out as gay in an interview with Swedish television network SV1. According to a report on newswire The GayUK, Mr Jackson chose the Swedish network to make his announcement because it transmits a programme called Rainbow Heroes, about the LGBTI communities. We wish Mr Jackson a very happy Coming Out and hope that he will continue to be a role model for young people with his work on British sports commentating.
