Despite concerns of losing her rural Australia fan base, Cole felt she needed to come out for her son.

Cole explained to channel 9 news -“one day when he told me he had a mate coming over and he said, ‘don’t worry, he doesn’t know’, and I thought, ‘gosh, he shouldn’t feel like he has to hide anything’.”

Cole will talk more about her ten year struggle with coming out on Australian Story tonight, at 8pm.
