MKR flatmates Sam and Dan speak out

Sun 31 Aug 2014 In: New Zealand Daily News View at Wayback

Dan Freeman and Sam Sutherland My Kitchen Rules team Sam Sutherland and Dan Freeman have again pointed out they are not a couple, in the face of continued homophobic slurs and questions about their sexuality from viewers. The friends are not a couple - as repeatedly suggested by other teams and people all over social media. Sutherland is gay, but single, while Freeman has a girlfriend. "It's kind of awkward," Sutherland has told the Herald on Sunday. "We kind of thought it could happen and it's kind of funny, but we want to clear it up at this stage ... I'm gay, Dan's not." The pair have a number of gay friends in their circle and Freeman says "We sort of stopped thinking about it," he said. "We're never concerned with the sexuality of people. It's not the defining attribute for us that it is for lots of other people." Read the full story here
