The Traitors star Freddie Fraser has publicly come out as gay while introducing fans to his new boyfriend on social media.

The reality TV favourite, who appeared on the third series of the hit BBC competition, shared a series of loved-up photographs with model and content creator Bailey Ramsden over the weekend, marking the first time he has publicly spoken about being in a relationship with a man. 

Fraser revealed the relationship in an Instagram post featuring a black-and-white photobooth strip of the pair smiling together and sharing a kiss. The post was met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities. 

Friends and fellow reality stars were quick to celebrate the announcement. RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard commented: "Welcome to the club", while The Traitors series four winner Stephen Libby wrote: "The hard launch we LOVE to see." 

Fraser previously dated Nisha Davenport, with reports stating the pair split shortly after his appearance on The Traitors. His relationship with Ramsden is the first time he has publicly been linked to a male partner. 

Fans had already begun speculating about the pair's relationship after they appeared together on social media in recent months, with both sharing posts that hinted at a romance. 

Since finding fame on The Traitors, Fraser has built a significant online following and recently announced plans to pursue a career in broadcast journalism after accepting a place on a Master's degree course in the subject.
