Nigel's guest today is Matt Terry. Matt is a singer, songwriter and performer who won the TV talent show The X Factor in 2016. His singing career after the show resulted in a top three single, a top 30 album and working with stars like Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul but his time in the spotlight was short-lived and peppered with fear that his hidden sexuality would be revealed to the world. Matt has always known that he was queer but for many years kept it secret from everyone due to his own insecurities and internalised fears. He came out publicly in 2024 with the beautiful self-penned track His Car and is now making fabulous new music that the world needs to hear.

This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!
