Former rugby player hilariously responds to leaked gay sex tape

This week, former rugby player Tom Garratt found himself internet famous for all the wrong reasons—a video of him messing around with another man’s equipment went viral. Although the leaked video has led to a flood of speculation on his sexuality, Garratt laughingly brushed aside the gay panic bait. His response: things happen on holiday.

The not-quite-a-sex-tape shows Garratt giving a male friend a hand while others laugh in the background—peak straight bro humor. Speaking on his podcast, the Pitch Side, he provided the much-needed details on what led up to the video.

“It’s from seven years ago, which obviously doesn’t change the fact that what happened, happened,” Garratt said. “Obviously we were on holiday and it got a bit messy and we thought it would be funny to… yeah.”

“I understand a lot of people don’t find that funny and wouldn’t do it, but d’you know what, good for you but I would not want that life,” he added.

“We had a great time, we had a great laugh and I don’t know how the video’s got out but it has. And you’ve just got to f*cking firm it – unlike my mate did. So, if anyone’s looking for a holiday buddy for the summer, I might be going to Tenerife. I’ll see you there.”

As for his sexuality, Garratt might be “partial” to “being a bit fruity,” but it’s clear the whole thing was for laughs. He kept up the good humor on a follow-up TikTok.

“If you’re not comfortable looking a c*ck in the face or a c*ck in your hand, there’s something wrong with you alright,” he joked. “What goes on holiday should stay on holiday.

“I think whoever leaked it is weirder than me. He was a friend in need, and I am a friend indeed. He needed a helping hand, so…”

“It doesn’t mean I’m bi, it doesn’t mean I’m gay—well, maybe it does,” he added. “But do you know what, if I am, I am. Alright?”

Responding to digs at his sexuality with casual nonchalance is, without a doubt, the most mature aspect of this story. So that’s all, nothing to see here—just lads being lads.
