Eighties pop star Tiffany outs NKOTB singer Jonathan Knight

Eighties pop star Tiffany has accidentally outed former New Kids on the Block singer Jonathan Knight.

During an interview on US television show Watch What Happens, the singer – famous for her version of I Think We're Alone Now – told host Andy Cohen that the pair used to date, but “he [Knight] turned gay later.”

“Now looking back when we were dating,” she continued.

“He was so much fun. We used to do facials together. He was so easy to talk to … And he was fabulous. He’s an awesome person.”

According to site GaySocialites.com, Knight has never publicly announced his sexuality – which left the flame-haired star rather red-faced. She swiftly took to micro-blogging site Twitter to apologise.

“Really didn’t know that was the wrong thing to say,” she announced the following day. “Never meant to hurt Jon.”

Knight, pictured with his brother Jordan Knight, replied: “Tiff, please don’t lose any sleep over it!” he Tweeted. “I know you weren’t being mean and I found it to be funny!”
