Dean McCullough
Dean McCullough is one of BBC Radio 1’s newest star DJs – but the former Gaydio presenter had to overcome his inner demons to get there. As Dean leads the Media and Broadcast list of LGBTQ trailblazers for Attitude 101, empowered by Bentley, the 29-year-old opens up about his ‘dark’ and ‘scary’ experiences with alcohol and his empowered decision to quit booze. “Alcohol didn’t really agree with me… but it was just part of my life, it was part of being a gay man, it was part of going to LGBT spaces, all surrounded by booze. I woke up and thought ‘I’m going to give up drinking now’.”
Russell Kane
The multi-award winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter, Russell Kane, has been making us laugh since the early noughties, from his Kaneings on Youtube to his podcast Boys Don’t Cry.
He’s recently become an Ambassador for the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and believes ‘cracking a gag’ and conversation is seriously good for our mental health.
