This is a quote from the Wiki text:
"In a 1997 interview he revealed he had been in a relationship with someone for two years but that it had ended. He did not reveal the gender of his partner or whether it was a sexual relationship. He merely referred to this person as C.T. and stated that he cared deeply and hoped that they shared similar feelings."
Any speculation as to who C.T. was/is?
Also, if the Jake relationship was in the early-to-mid 1990's, the timing described in the aforementioned Guardian interview doesn't quite wash:
"Two years ago, this man who yearns for surprises got the surprise of his life. He fell in love. He didn't expect to. Love crept up behind him just when he'd got used to the idea that it would never happen. 'Well it never had for such a long time'. "
OK, I'll try to stop being such a nosy bugger now
