'Love Island' star opens up on sexuality

Love Island star Justin Lacko opens up about his sexuality on social media.

Love Island: Australia's Justin Lacko has come out as being attracted to both men and women after years of rumours about his sexuality.

The 29-year-old, who appeared in the 2018 series of the reality show, is currently expecting his first child with former girlfriend Anita Barone-Scott.

In a series of posts on Instagram stories, Lacko wrote: "Love who you want to! Doesn't matter the sex. I won't lie anymore within myself. I want freedom and to be free. I respect myself to say this. I love me and I always will.

"Just letting everyone know this isn't me coming out at all about being gay. This is me coming out to [say] that I fall in love with a person not a sex. I love women and [men] that's it.

"Gay, bi, straight, just be who you are. I don't care and neither should anyone else."

After appearing on Love Island, Lacko went on to appear in the Aussie version of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, finishing in sixth place.
