“I finished my tour in Australia & NZ for what I didn’t know would be my last standup show for who knows how long.

“I got married to my best friend & have a loving partner to continue building my life with.”

Van Ness also reflected on enjoying Zoom quizzes with friends including Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan, doing gymnastics with Olympic champion Simone Biles, and celebrating their Emmy nomination over FaceTime with his Queer Eye co-stars.

He added: “Last but not least the last time I got to see my mom who I’m so so proud of all she’s done this year & can’t wait to see her again soon. I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy in these coming days.”
