Actor Sebastian Croft, known for Heartstopper and currently appearing on Celebrity Traitors, speaks about his experiences at school related to his sexuality. He says he faced “lonely and difficult” schooldays and later described being “bullied and ostracised.”
Across outlets, Croft’s accounts centre on an episode in which he was outed as gay by a boy he was secretly seeing. He contrasts the emotional impact of returning to school with what he describes as the freedom he feels through acting. One report also says the situation contributed to him leaving education at the age of 16.
The articles primarily differ in emphasis and phrasing: some focus on the bullying and social exclusion, while others foreground the outing incident. However, they broadly agree on Croft’s description of being outed at school and the negative consequences he says followed.
