English actor Ben Aldridge has come
out.
The 34-year-old Aldridge is best known

In an Instagram post on Pride Month,
Aldridge said that he's a “proud and thankful” member of the LGBT
community.
“The journey to pride was a long one
for me,” he captioned a black and white photo of an early Pride
march.
“I love the LGBTQ+ community and am
incredibly proud and thankful to be a part of it. So much won. So
much more to fight for,” Aldridge wrote.
