'It was such a wholesome moment my dad being there cheering me on like he always has since day one. My dad is my hero'
Rosebud, whose real name is Alex Truesdale, was preparing to perform her opening number when she got an unexpected knock at the door. She was delighted to see her dad, who had travelled just under 300 miles from Portadown, Northern Ireland, to see the show.
The make-up artistry graduate told how she suffered from anorexia and bulimia after her relationship with her mum breaking down. Rosebud lived at home for the first 12 years of her life before going to live with her dad. However, it wasn't until she was in her teens that she would actually begin turning her obsession into a job. The former UCEN Manchester student added: “I was in an extremely lonely place at the age of 11 and in that place of feeling isolated, I felt like I couldn’t turn to anyone.
She said: “Coming out is a progressive series of feelings, emotions and acceptance within yourself. I feel like it was people's perceptions of me that made me feel suffocated to tell anyone. I couldn’t even be myself without kids younger than me and adults being homophobic. I used to get bullied daily in school up until the moment I came out. I finally came to the realisation that what everyone was saying was facts. I am gay and I am proud.
