Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky comes out as gay during Pride Month

Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky is coming out!

On Sunday, the 31-year-old actress and singer took to TikTok to announce that she's gay during the last few days of Pride Month by sharing a video of herself lip-syncing to Diana Ross' iconic hit 'I'm Coming Out'.

In the clip (watch it above), the actress can be seen dancing around in grass while wearing an all-black outfit.

"Hi, it's Nikki Blonsky from the movie I'm Gay! #pride #imcomingout #hairspray," she captioned the video on her TikTok profile.

The caption also appeared to be a reference towards the popular meme, "Hey, it's Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray", which was inspired by her habit of regularly reminding fans that she starred in the musical film.

The actress also tweeted out the news and was flooded by fans' messages of support.

"Happy #Pride to my queen, a true gay icon @NikkiBlonsky," wrote one fan to which Blonsky responded with, "Thank you Alex!"

Another wrote, "Nikki Blonsky from the movie hairspray coming out on tiktok just saved 2020 I think."

In May last year, Blonsky opened up to E! News about her relationship with her partner Dani.

"I am the happiest I've ever been in my current relationship. [I] am excited for the future, both personally and professionally."

Back in 2017, the Huge star told Page Six that she was dabbling with dating apps.

"I just jumped into Tinder; that's a crazy train," she told the outlet at the time. "I was like, 'You know what, I'm back in New York, maybe I'll inspire some straight guys to come out to the show,' and now I'm like, 'Oh my God.'

"Their first approach with me is either they don't know who I am at all and they're like, 'I like curvy women,' or they'll be like, 'You look kind of familiar, are you that girl?'"

She continued, "It takes them a little while to realise that yes I am [that girl] and I have sexual needs and pleasures."

"If you date me, you're going to get a lot more than you bargained for," she told the publication.

Blonsky is best known for playing Tracy Turnblad in the 2007 film starring John Travolta, Queen Latifah and Zac Efron.

She joins a long list of celebrities including Taylor Schilling, Justice Smith, Jameela Jamil, Aaron Carter and Lily-Rose Depp who have all openly spoken about their sexuality recently.
