Freddie Fraser, a contestant on the reality competition series The Traitors, has publicly come out as gay by sharing photos of himself with his new boyfriend, Bailey Ramsden. The 22-year-old TV personality posted the images over the weekend, a year after his reported split from his girlfriend.
Fraser, who gained recognition for his appearance on The Traitors, had not previously discussed his sexuality. The photos, which show him and Ramsden in a photobooth, were accompanied by a white heart emoji in the caption. Ramsden is described as a social media influencer based in London with approximately 11,000 followers.
Fellow contestants and public figures reacted to Fraser's announcement. Drag star Danny Beard commented on the post, welcoming him to the LGBTQ+ community, and Traitors co-star Stephen Libby expressed support for the public relationship announcement.
Fraser's public relationship comes after his reported amicable split from his university girlfriend, Nisha Davenport, in July of the previous year. A source told The Sun at the time that the separation occurred shortly after a trip to Budapest and that both individuals were aware of the challenges of maintaining their relationship after university. Fraser was also briefly linked to Love Island contestant Yasmin Pettet in September of the same year, though Pettet later clarified that they were not in a relationship.
Fraser's journey on The Traitors saw him begin as a Faithful before being recruited as a Traitor in the final week of the competition. He has since developed a notable social media presence.
