Several fans had questioned whether Jack, who rose to fame as a teenager on Australia’s Got Talent in 2011, was trans because of his ultra-feminine look.
Responding to the speculation, Jack wrote: ‘I’ve had hundreds of messages asking if I’m trans. I’m not – I was just dressing up in drag with friends for fun for a night out.
‘Being trans is a beautiful thing though and I love that people are asking questions. My pronounces are he/him. Lots of love b***h x.’
Jack revealed on I’m a Celebrity earlier this year that he realised he was gay when he watched his first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney when he was 14.
‘My first Mardi Gras experience – I used to live on the corner of Oxford Street and Hyde Park and our balcony would look over the whole of Oxford Street,’ he said.
‘So kind of 14, 15 years old, I was watching the parade with mum just in my mind going, “Am I gay?” This was way before I came out.’
