Married At First Sight UK star Thomas Hartley has come out as pansexual.
Sharing the news via his Instagram account, Thomas posted a video dancing to Beyoncé's 'Cuff It' alongside two images defining pansexuality, which read: "I am attracted [to] people regardless of gender."
In the caption, Thomas wrote: "Coming out. I came out when I was 15 as gay, however before the show I found that I was attracted to all genders and coming to be more fluid with my gender and liberated in my sexuality, I do now understand that I am pansexual.

"Although I resonate more so with dating cis and trans men, I do find cis and trans women attractive too. I am at the beginning of this journey and I am more confident than I have ever been before," the reality star continued.
"Pansexuality is not difficult to understand, however rather than be offended, I would rather help people understand and learn with resources and education."
Thomas ended the post by thanking fans for their support, writing: "Thanks for supporting me during MAFS and after, you have contributed to giving me the confidence to live in my truth."
Thomas also revealed that he had brought his pansexuality up during a home visit with ex Adrian Sanderson, who he was paired up with on the show, saying: "Also I did come out on the home stay during my ex-husband's home stay, but obviously they have to condense hours of filming to one hour."
