Nadia Sawalha asked the star: “But you haven’t been before have you, do you feel you’ve arrived there now?”
Johannes answered: “I feel like I have, I blame it on internalised homophobia and the fact that I have hated myself for such a long time.
“So I’m in a better place. I also deserve some love.”
Many viewers at home rushed to Twitter to share their love andsupport.
One wrote: “Johannes is so relatable. He’s just so precious.”
A second said: “Johannes is just lovely.”
Another tweeted: “Whenever Johannes mention about his coming out story and his love for his mum, it really makes me feel so emotional. I can resonate so well. He’s such an inspiration to those who are of LGBT and of colour.”
