Will Young claims record bosses have told him not to mention he is gay if he wants to crack the US.

He has also been told to have his teeth straightened and whitened before he takes on America.

The singer says he may now turn down the lucrative deal.

He told the press “I’ve been offered a major deal but I’m in a dilemma.”

“They want me to keep quiet about my private life and, worse, they’ve told me to get my teeth straightened.”

“I thought they were joking but that is the bottom line.”
