"For years, I've always used 'bisexuality' cause I'm like, 'Oh, well I like boys, you know? That's kind of normal.' Her co-stars rally behind her as she struggles to continue. She goes on: "Ok, I'm just going to say it: I think deep down, I've liked girls. I just thought I need to say it, otherwise I'll be living this life of not being me.""
"The experts and other participants cheer Millie on after her announcement, sharing their pride for her. Speaking to camera afterwards, Millie says: "As hard as it was, I'm really glad I said it. It's lifted a ton of bricks off my shoulders." Laughing after her special moment, she continues: "I don't need to be ashamed. It's ok to be a lesbian!""
"Millie is one of a handful of contributors on this year's cast who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, also including Ellen and Tegan. While she previously identified as bisexual, tonight's episode will see Millie come out as a lesbian to the support and celebration of her co-stars and coaches."
"Millie's co-star Ellen previously told PinkNews that she struggled to come to terms with her own sexuality (she identifies as gay or queer) after spending time with a church. She eventually came out as bisexual in 2023 to her family, before accepting she was not interested in men."
Millie, a participant on Virgin Island series two, comes out as a lesbian in the 12 May episode. She previously identified as bisexual, explaining that she used the label because she liked boys and viewed it as normal. In the episode, she tells the group she has liked girls deep down and says she needed to be honest to avoid living as someone she is not. Co-stars, coaches, and experts cheer her announcement and celebrate her identity. Afterward, Millie says the moment was hard but worth it, describing a sense of relief and saying she does not need to be ashamed. Other LGBTQ+ cast members include Ellen and Tegan.
