TV star Graham Norton has admitted he doesn’t want to find a husband – and expects to die alone.
The BBC presenter said it is hard to be in a gay relationship when there is one partner who is “much more successful than the other” – as it leads the other to be “emasculated”.
He said: “I meet sweet guys who are drawn to my wealth and lifestyle — the linen napkins, oysters, a celebrity party, first class travel. But slowly their enjoyment starts to sour.

“Every man, no matter how young and fey, has some alpha in them.
“Where the pretty young woman who marries a fat, ugly billionaire can find her role in having babies and playing hostess, my boyfriends find themselves emasculated.”
And the Cork-born star said in his autobiography he now expects to die by himself, surrounded by newspaper clippings of top moments from his career.
He added: “I have to ask myself if I really want the ‘happy ever after’ and the answer seems to be no. I’m not sure I’m built for sharing my entire life and heart.

“Being with someone should double your joy and yet I find it halved. I’m not saying being alone makes me happy but I’m not sad, and that seems like quite a lot in life.
“I have a vision of being very old, surrounded by tarnished awards and yellowing press clippings.
“That is when I’ll fall madly in love with a beautiful Brazilian nurse because of his flair when performing a bed bath.
“Maybe we’ll marry and the very next day I can die happy, knowing that for those brief few hours I had a life partner.”
