On 27 March 2007, Australian singer and the runner-up in the 2004 season of Australian Idol Anthony Callea publicly acknowledged that he was gay by issuing a statement confirming his sexuality and thanking his fans and his then-partner, Paul. "Yes, I am gay. I have no issue with my sexuality now, but it's taken time to become confident with who I am and happy with who I am. I'm comfortable enough to come clean now. It's a weight off my shoulders". Callea's confirmation of his sexuality came after his accidental on-air 'outing' by Sydney radio station Edge 96.1. Callea had previously denied being gay and refused to discuss his private life, a denial for which he later expressed regret. [Source: Wikipedia]
