Terror: Julian Clary has revealed he was set on fire by a bully for being gay when he was at school Terror: Julian Clary has revealed he was set on fire by a bully for being gay when he was at school
Julian Clary has spoken of his terror after being set on fire by a school bully for being gay.
The 53-year-old comedian told OK! magazine that he was repeatedly taunted over his sexuality while at school, but was too scared to even tell his parents.
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner said: 'When I was at school, I was given a really hard time. The other boys bullied me.
'On one occasion, a boy set fire to me on a bus. I was wearing a long coat with nylon lining and he set fire to it.
'I was okay. I wasn't burnt. I have no idea (why he did it). I never said anything to him. It was completely unprovoked.'
But Julian was so terrified about losing his place at St Benedict's School in Ealing that he didn't even report the incident to to anybody, or tell his parents.
He added: 'It was a difficult situation as I went to an expensive private school with an excellent reputation, and I was given a free place to study there for passing an exam.
'My parents were so pleased for me, so I didn't say anything. It's difficult to tell somebody you're being bullied for basically being gay, especially when you're 12 or 13.'

Julian also revealed the monks who looked after pupils at his school used to discipline the student by beating them with a cane or cricket bat.
He said: 'I was hit with a cricket bat, which left marks on me. Some of those monks are in prison now for child molestation. I was never molested, though.
'I don't want people to feel sorry for me over any of this. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but these experiences motivated me.
'Being a famous, flamboyant, gay comedian has always subconsciously been my revenge.'

This is the sickening scar left by Hollywood star Armie Hammer on his young lover after he branded her just millimeters away from her private parts. Using a sharp knife Hammer cut his first initial 'A' into her skin during a kinky sex game, which ex-lover Paige Lorenze insists got out of control. Seconds later the 6ft 5' inch screen idol - who has claimed he's '100% a cannibal' in vile Instagram messages to other women - then licked the blood from the wound. Lorenze shared the exclusive image with DailyMailTV as a stark warning to other women who might be seduced and manipulated by Hammer. The 22-year-old former professional skier turned Instagram model is speaking out about the ‘deeply traumatic’ four month relationship, which left her emotionally and physically scarred. And Lorenze exposes Hammer as an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose wild fantasies and BDSM fueled desires which she says could ‘seriously injure another woman.’ The blond beauty...
