MARIA THATTIL THE TRUTH ABOUT ME
When she agreed to star on Season 8 of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! to raise awareness and funds for LGBTQIA+ youth charity Minus18, Maria Thattil had no intention of bringing up her own sexual preferences. But after spending some time in the jungle, the Miss Universe Australia winner, who has been a champion for inclusivity and diversity since she was crowned in Melbourne in October 2020, realised that by not sharing she was bisexual, she wasn’t being true to herself. Thattil revealed her sexual orientation in an emotional chat with campmate David Subritzky during an episode on January 12.

“I was on this show, talking about this charity and it didn’t feel right because I knew I wasn’t being honest with myself,” the 28-year-old model and content creator tells WHO. “If I’m going to put myself out there to talk about inclusion and having the courage to be yourself, then I better start walking the walk,” she explains.

Do you feel like a weight has been lifted after you revealed your orientation?
