Idol Runner-up outed on radio

Sydney traffic reporter, Vic Lorusso, inadvertently outed Australian Idol runner-up, Anthony Callea on radio recently. While chatting on The Edge’s breakfast show on Monday he was speaking about an old school friend when he blurted out:
“You wouldn’t know him. He’s a nice guy, but his partner, which is Anthony Callea, didn’t want to know anything about anybody.”

A spokesperson for the radio station released a statement on the issue of Callea's sexuality, stating, "Vic had no idea that it wasn't common knowledge."

We contacted the professional team over at Callea’s record label, SONY BMG, over the brou-ha-ha and got this reply: “It is against company policy to comment on our artist’s personal lives. These rumours have been flying around for a while and we feel that it really is a non-issue and therefore are unable to make comment.”

What do you guys make of all of this? Do we really care?
