TV’s Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen says his mum was “constantly surprised” that he wasn’t gay.
The 58-year-old interior designer, known for his flamboyant outfits, said his late mother Patricia assumed he was homosexual.
The Changing Rooms star has been married to wife Jackie since 1989 and they have two children together.

Speaking to the How To Be A Man podcast, Llewelyn-Bowen said: “My mother was a very feisty, very old school person.
“I think she was constantly surprised that I wasn’t gay. I think she really did assume.”
Dad-of-two Laurence, whose father was a Harley Street doctor, also revealed he and his wife “job swap” at home.
He said: “I think [my wife] would say I’m very masculine. The thing is, like everything in my life, I have made up my own masculinity.
“My masculinity is my particular recipe. We even do the blue and pink job swap – she sorts out the mortgage and the car insurance and I fart around making sure the roses are in water.
“I’ve got the best husband in the world, seriously.”

Laurence’s mother, a teacher, died in 2002.
Last month, the telly star revealed he was told his house was “haunted”.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star about his Grade II listed home in the Cotswolds, he said: “It’s very historically credited as being haunted but I’ve never seen anything which leads me to expect that my ghosts are starstruck and think ‘Oh no, it’s him, I can’t.’
“And the others are going ‘No, go on, get an autograph’.
“Or they’re just put off by my wallpaper choices. Forget exorcisms, just call me in to redecorate,” he joked.
Laurence admitted he doesn’t “make much of the supernatural stuff”, but he shared what the past tenants thought of the home.
He continued: “I didn’t think a lot of the supernatural stuff but I said to the paranormal team ‘If you find anything, no matter how evil you think it may be, I’m not getting rid of it, it’s part of the house. If there is a presence here, it’s been here far longer than we have so I think the polite thing to do is leave it where it is’.”
