has clarified that he is straight after appearing to come out as at a recent fan event.

Speaking at a fan convention for his TV show in New Jersey, the actor was reportedly asked how he identified.

In response, Collins appeared to turn the question back on the crowd, saying: “How many of you would consider yourself introverts? How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?”

After the third option was met with cheers, he laughed as he continued: “I’m all of them” while waving his hand nonchalantly.

“See, it would have been weird if I just said, ‘By a show of hands, how many bisexuals in the audience?’ But I feathered it into another questionnaire, because it’s totally more acceptable.

However, on Monday (25 April), Collins shared a thread to Twitter saying that he wanted to “deeply apologise for misspeaking” at the event.

“At a fan convention in New Jersey, when I was talking with the audience I said that I was ‘all three’ things: an introvert, an extrovert and a bisexual,” he tweeted.
