Curry isn't gay, as he revealed he has been in a relationship with a woman he loves for the past 30 years. However, the 60-year-old comedian is often confused with English television presenter Mark Curry, who came out as gay 15 years ago.
The television host came out publicly as gay when he organized his "coming out party" and married his long-term partner in a civil ceremony.
On 23 June 1986, Curry joined the children's television program Blue Peter. Although the former Blue Peter presenter and chartered surveyor Jeremy Sandle had been together for ten years and shared a house, the star was not openly gay during his time on children's TV, as he feared it would ruin his career.
