class="content__text" Seventeen-year-old footballer @OfficialJakeDaniels admits he underestimated the shock wave it would cause when he came out as gay earlier this year – the first male player in the UK to do so since 1990. “I feel like it still hasn’t sunk in,” says the Blackpool striker. “Then, obviously, I had the call from Elton John. That was crazy.” In the December 2022 issue of @BritishVogue , Daniels talks to @ChrisPJGodfrey about being a role model, why he’s “not the happiest” to see Qatar hosting the World Cup, and how coming out set him free.
