‘I personally came out when I was 19 and then I did The Voice in 2019 and that was sort of when it became more of a thing,’ Jack said.

Jack attempted to recreate the awkward chat with radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, saying: ‘Isabella, so I love you with all my heart, but I’ve needed to tell you something for so long… I don’t know how to say it, but I’m attracted to guys.’

The former Australia’s Got Talent winner recalled how his ex  ‘cried for a long time’ over the news.

But Jack said he didn’t know how she didn’t see it sooner. 

‘I don’t know how she didn’t [suspect it]. I’m as camp as a row of tents! She just didn’t pick up on it,’ he said with a laugh.

‘I don’t go on dates, maybe I need to get on Tinder and stuff,’ he said, but cheekily confirmed he hasn’t been celibate.
