Radio DJ and TV presenter Zoe Ball had spoken out about how she reacted to her son Woody telling her that he was bisexual.
The 48-year-old is mum to 18-year-old Woody and nine-year-old Nelly with her ex-husband Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim.
Woody discussed his sexuality with Boys By Girls magazine, where he spoke about how his upbringing taught him to be open.
He said, ''I'm bisexual. It’s something I’ve known for three years. I always felt, growing up, that I had all these thoughts and I just shook it off. I'm a bit of a free thinker. I don't care what gender someone is. I'm quite laid back about most things in life, including my sexual orientation.''
He continued, ''I'm in such a good position that I should be free-thinking and happy. I really feel like my friends and family are all really laid-back - especially my parents. And growing up around them has taught me sharing, happiness, and kindness."
He added, ''The reason I can’t choose is because one day I feel it's completely girls, and another day I could be thinking about guys. I don’t know if it’s a gay time of the month. But it changes day to day. It’s very fluid. Love is love, you can be who you want and love who you want. That’s my viewpoint. ''
So what was his mum's reaction to his news?
He said, ''I told my mum and her first reaction was: 'You can’t be, you like girls?'. I got her to look back upon her group of friends and she started to realise she knew more bi people then she thought. I think it was a bigger thing in her time. Some people assume it's an in-between before you are gay. But really, it’s a thing on its own."
Woody took to Instagram to post about his revelation to the magazine and he got lots of supportive comments.
Zoe wrote, ''Love my best boy'' followed by kiss emojis to which he replied, ''Love my best mum."
While another wrote, ''Congratulations! I hope you feel like a huge weight is off your shoulders! Welcome to the community.''
