Sky Sports News presenter Mark Adam comes out as gay, revealing that he has "battled" with his sexuality for years.

Sky Sports News presenter Mark McAdam has come out in an interview with a gay magazine.

The roving reporter told Gay Times that he has "battled" with his sexuality for years, revealing that he was bullied and physically attacked at school.

"Only gay people will ever understand the trauma you go through about accepting your sexuality," he said. "I don't know of any other gay sports reporters. There's nothing to compare this to."

McAdam, who has worked in the field for Sky for seven years, added that there is a "clear divide" between his work and personal life. "I love football, just the same as any straight guy. I watch football, I watch the darts, I sit around and scratch my bollocks and piss on the toilet seat. And I'm gay."

On the pitch, former Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger remains the only footballer connected with the top flight to have come out as gay.
