Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes recently came out publicly as gay. Although she’s acknowledged this truth privately for a number of decades, it’s only now that she’s felt able to begin living as her full self. Having served in the British military at a time when homosexuality was banned, Kelly had always feared serious repercussions, which only intensified when she became a celebrated athlete.
What do you think is the key to living an "entirely authentic life"? 💚
In this chat with Fearne, Kelly talks through the painful - and the hopeful - journey that’s brought her to a place where she feels confident to live entirely authentically, as well as delving into the mental, emotional, and physical stress of hiding such a huge part of her identity for so long. Kelly Holmes: Being Me is available to watch back on ITV Hub.
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains a frank chat about self-harm, so take care while listening.
