Jonathan Ross has revealed that his 19-year-old daughter Betty Kitten is a lesbian.

The TV host, who is married to screenwriter Jane Goldman, made the revelation during a radio interview yesterday, adding that he just wanted his children to be "good and happy".

When he was asked in an interview on Gaydar Radio, how he would feel if his daughter brought a woman home, he replied: "Well, my eldest daughter is gay so that’s a question I’ve dealt with on a regular basis already. And providing it’s a nice woman, I’m thrilled.

He added: "I think that’s pretty much out there, she talks about [her sexuality] on her Twitter feed.

"As any dad really, I love my kids regardless of who they are, what they do.

"Certainly, their sexuality is a), none of my business and b), certainly none of my concern.

"I just want them to be good, happy, stable people and so far, all three of them seem to be that."

Ross, 50, and Goldman, 40, have two other children, Harvey Kirby, 16, and Honey Kinney, 13 and the family live in North London.
