• Jake Shears wants Disney wedding and a baby

Jake Shears, Scissor Sisters frontman confesses that he wants a big Disney Wedding and a baby as he speaks to Jayne Middlemiss about coming out, having a family, marriage and his idols on the Orange Playlist show tonight on ITV.

Here's what Jake has to say:

On coming out

Jayne: When did you come out?

Jake: 15. It was the first year I smoked pot, people were drinking and doing drugs. I felt this moment of being a bit more free. I was getting into music, going to concerts a two hour ferry ride. I saw nirvana, faith no more - my all time favourite bands, at a Jesus Jones concert. I was experiencing these shows and 1 movie theatre on the island, a lot wasn't going on. My art teacher became my legal guardian and I lived in Arizona, she was pregnant and didn't know anything about raising a teenager and I got away with murder.

That was the year I came out and started being gay at school. Which is crazy. I was dressing really crazy, wearing plad skirts and leather. I was wearing anything I could find, anything I could get my hands on. I was the only kid at school. It was a heavy mormon population, people were really conservative. It was probably a mistake to come out at school. People started asking me and I would say yes.

Jayne: How did people react to you?

Jake: Horrible. The reaction was bad, it was a big campus and I was always walking across and that was frightening, I would get spat on and get pushed around, kids would yell stuff. There were a couple of other freaky kids who I befriended. The other freaky kids were addicted to crystal meth. I was 15 and they were complete junkies. I don't know how I got through that time - I never dabbled with anything. I had no desire to do it. I didn't judge them for doing it. It was all very music orientated..
