Blackpool FC’s Jake Daniels has detailed how his now partner was one of over 20,000 people who DM’d him after he came out at the age of 17.
Jake, 18, announced his sexuality during an interview with Sky Sports back in May 2022. This made him the first EFL footballer to come out as publicly gay in 32 years, since Justin Fashanu in 1990.
One year on, Jake is living his best life out and proud, and shared the way he met his boyfriend Mark, 46.
During an appearance on Rylan Clark’s new podcast ‘How to Be a Man’, he said Mark was one of the thousands who congratulated him on social media.
