X Factor winner and British pop star Shayne Ward goes the wet T-shirt route for the cover of the U.K.'s Gay Times -- and says he's doing it because he doesn't mind a little male attention.
"I do get people who say 'Yeah Shayne Ward's gay' but I don't take offense," he said. "I've never had a problem with it. I have a lot of gay friends. I think it's great. People look at me and say it because I look after myself. Even the missus as I was ironing my shirt this morning. She goes 'You're so gay!' and I said 'Wouldn't you rather I was like this than be a slob?!'"
The singer is promoting his third album, Obsession. His first two albums were both extremely successful in the U.K. and Ireland.
