To mark the recent re-launch of Switchboard, LGBT + helpline, the charity has encouraged celebrities including Matt Lucas, Tom Daley, Mark Gatiss and George Takei to feature in a video, produced by YouTuber Calum McSwiggan, in which they talk about their heroes.

In the video Lucas commented 'My gay hero is Ben Cohen who has done amazing work as an activist to combat homophobic bullying and has just generally been a great supporter of the gay community'.
