The young star was applauded as a gay rights hero when he came out publicly in 1999. He married his partner Andrew Cowles in Los Vegas in 2003 and they enjoyed a civil ceremony in London in 2006.

He made history as part of the first gay couple represented in boyband’s music video for Boyzone’s song ‘Better’. The video premiered almost a decade ago in October 2008, a year before his death. It was the last music video he appeared in.
