Jacqueline Wilson admits she never thought she would be a 'gay icon' in her seventies and didn't imagine she'd end up with a woman when she wrote her first same-sex novel


Jacqueline Wilson has opened up on her sexuality as she admitted she 'never thought' she'd end up dating a same-sex partner.

Jacqueline has often been asked why she hasn't written more gay characters, but previously wrote about a same-sex relationship in her 1988 book, This Girl.

In April 2019, Jacqueline hit headlines when she revealed she is concerned about transgender children who take action to transition at a young age.
