As it happens, George Michael's young man friend - with whom he was frolicking about a yacht with in Sydney Harbour last week - was hired help. According to The Sun, the 23-year-old is a bisexual escort who charges $250 Aussie dollars an hour.
Someone launching their moral beans at the News of The World said: "There are the obvious risks and it just looks very mucky. What's even more bizarre is that George was happy to parade the guy so openly on a boat which was being watched. They looked like they were boyfriends in love rather than simply sex partners. And that's going to be difficult for (long suffering partner) Kenny to accept. He's been unhappy for some time. This could be the final straw for him."
Listen, if the final straw wasn't the tryst in the public toilets stateside; the middle-aged, pot bellied white van man in the bushes on Hampstead Heath; the crack in the toilets in London City centre; or the car encountering bollards/other cars a number of times a few years back; I very much doubt an acceptable looking paid man, who probably gets tested regularly, will be.
At this juncture, Goss is carting so many straws around he's starting to resemble one strapping donkey.
