Now Faulkner has clarified that  news was “misinterpreted” by everyone. Faulkner has now come out and stated that he is not gay and Jubb is his best friend while being a “house mate”.

Faulkner posted on Instagram, "There seems to be a misunderstanding about my post from last night, I am not gay, however it has been fantastic to see the support from and for the LBGT community. "Let's never forget love is love, however @robjubbsta is just a great friend. Last night marked five years of being house mates! Good on everyone for being so supportive,"
