The star has also spoken about his childhood, telling how he was brought up by his lesbian mother and marched at gay pride events from a young age.
Gillespie says, "I was brought up on the gay scene because my mum is gay and so is my uncle.
"Not only did I have two lesbian mothers but my mum was in a wheelchair.
"We assumed the position of a kind of poster family for civil liberties organisations.
"There is a picture of me when I was six holding up a banner saying, 'My mum is a lesbian and I love her.' It was at a pride event and was used a lot in the newspapers."
Of his own sexuality, Gillespie adds, "Most of the kids at school seemed to know I was gay a long time before I knew myself.
"I had a slightly effeminate air - and children are very intuitive aren't they? It's obvious really."
