Honey also revealed that Simon Cowell assumed her sexuality during her stint on X Factor back in 2016.

“It’s funny how people assume – he didn’t sort of say 'do I have a partner'.
“And I got very defensive at the time.”
Honey revealed she's gay in an interview with The Sun's Bizarre column in July last year.
She said: “I have dabbled with men before, but I’m gay and looking for a female partner that I want to settle down with.
