You might know him from Britain’s Got Talent, but behind that viral moment is a powerful story of shame, self-worth, and survival. Calum opens up about coming out at 12, living with body dysmorphia, and how therapy—and his mum—helped him through his darkest moments. We talk about social media, self-acceptance, and what it meant to sing with Take That for the King. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong, this one’s for you.</p><p><br></p><p>CALUM’S NEW MUSIC – GOD KNOWS</p><p>Calum’s got new music coming out on Friday 4th April.
