Brit Reality Hunk Charlie King Comes Out As Gay, The Only Way Now Is Sexy: PHOTOS

For Americans, The Only Way Is Essex is probably best known for introducing us to noted prettiest man in the world, Dan Osborne. Well Tom Daley's hetero crush may have some competition in the eye candy category with former TOWIE star Charlie King coming out, following rumors that he may be returning to the show.

King was joined by out journalist and fellow fox James Ingraham on This Morning where he described his decision to come out.

"I know that the time is now," King said. "I never really knew where I belonged, I never really knew where I fitted in. It was something I had to address. It's taken me a good few years to kind of get here now and to say, 'I'm Charlie, I'm 29 years old, I'm a gay man and I'm very comfortable with that.'"

King added that he hoped his story would help people: "I want to be a positive person, telling people, 'you can do this.'" So far, King has received an outpouring of support from fans, while former girlfriend and TOWIE co-star Gemma Collins tweeted a big, fat, "toldyaso."

Below, check out Charlie's coming out and — to get to know him a little better — a few of the many sexy photos of King floating about the interwebs:
