Olympic gymnast Louis Smith has stripped off for the new issue of Gay Times magazine.

The pommel horse specialist, who won last year's Strictly Come Dancing, told the magazine that he thinks many sports stars are trapped in the closet.

"I had an expectation on me to perform and to achieve certain results in the games, and I think if you're in a sport that's deemed as a man's sport you have that expectation to be straight," he said. "That's a lot of pressure to carry on your shoulders, so that's tough."

Smith went on to name Will Smith as his mancrush, explaining: "He's very dedicated to his family, he's very loyal, funny, hard working and talented. So, in the most non-sexual way, it would have to be based on the person."

The new issue of GT is out now.
