Zoe Balls son Woody reveals famous mum's surprised reaction when he told her he was bisexual
ZOE Ball's son Woody has claimed his famous mum was surprised he was bisexual after he came out to her.
The 20-year-old student said the radio presenter, 51, questioned whether he was in fact gay.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star explained: “I’ve had people say to me, ‘Oh, you’re just saying you’re bisexual because it’s trendy,’ and I’m, like, ‘No, my sexuality is not a bloody trend!’
“My mum was, like, ‘You can’t be. You like girls.’ I said, ‘Er… yes, that’s what bisexual is.’
"She said, ‘Isn’t bi just gay people before they know they’re gay? I don’t know any bisexuals.’
"I pointed out that some of our family friends were probably bisexual, which she didn’t really think about before.”
In the interview with Attitude Magazine, Woody also hit out at people on social media branding him a "fake bisexual".

Woody currently has a girlfriend and admitted he is very much in love, adding: “This has led some of my mates to say, ‘Oh, so you’re straight then?’
"NO! I’m not straight!
“A lot of fans I have on Instagram say I’m a ‘fake bisexual’ because I have a girlfriend, but that’s not how it works.
"It doesn’t really matter to me. It’s [on] a person-to-person basis. That whole thing about tits or arse, I don’t care. If a person makes me laugh, has a talent, has a better dress sense than me, I fall for it.
"Male, female; I don’t mind. Love is love; be what you want.”
The reality TV star hit the headlines last month after admitting that his mum and dad Fatboy Slim won't let him live off their success - despite the former couple being worth a combined £35million.
He said he had been cut off financially by his famous parents and was sometimes too skint to be able to buy bread.
The BBC revealed the salaries of its biggest stars this summer and Zoe made the list even after taking a huge pay-cut, wiping £230,000 off her salary.
The star requested a 28 per cent reduction as she felt "uncomfortable", and her annual salary is now £980,000.
Meanwhile Woody made his TV debut on The Circle in 2019, and has since appeared alongside his mum on Celeb Gogglebox.
