Queer Eye's Tan France used to bleach his skin at night time 'to try and fit in'

Queer Eye star Tan France, 36, who is starring in The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer, reveals the biggest lessons he's learnt in life, in his own words: I wasn’t ever a cool kid with lots of friends. I was very closed, quiet, and determined no one should figure out ‘the real me’.

I knew I was different. So to protect myself, I pretended to be a straight, aggressive, average boy who liked football. Such a lie.

At home I was dancing to Bollywood music, fashioning a scarf into a dress, fantasising it was my wedding day and playing with my Barbie house.

I am naturally flamboyant and can be open about that now. Don’t live your life to please others. You won’t be doing them or yourself any favours.
