Speaking at LAX, Kressley said: “I went out with a football player who was actually in the Super Bowl, so there.”

He responded to the woman from TMZ who asked: “What do you make of this idea that gay men can’t play football?”

As well as being shocked by the ridiculous question, it transpired that Kressley previously dated NFL defensive tackle Esera Tuaolo.

Tuaolo came out as gay in 2002, soon after retiring.
