The actor has previously confirmed he identifies as queer, telling Pink News[6]: ‘I’ve always been happy to say to people.

So for me, it was just part of it.

‘I wouldn’t like to speak for anyone else on that matter.

But for me it was kind of: “It is what it is”.’

The actor will next be seen in the sports drama The Beautiful Game opposite Bill Nighy and Michael Ward.

Anais has been spending quality time with her pal Callum in the wake of her reported split from her long-term boyfriend Julius Roberts.

Anais was in a relationship with the farmer for three years after they got together two days before Christmas[7] in 2019.

But a source revealed they have ‘ended their relationship’ in late 2022 and she was moving back up to London, after splitting her time between the city and his family farm in Dorset.

It comes after Anais weighed into a nepotism row[8], which led her Oasis father to defend her.

Noel, 56, detailed how his daughter was ‘good at what she does’ when talking about a film she made of him.

Anais herself said she would be ‘tone deaf if I didn’t admit how privileged my life is’ as she addressed the criticism of ‘nepotism babies’.[9]

‘Nepo babies’, as it is often known, refers to children being given a leg-up in their industries as a result of being born into affluent or famous families.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, she explained: ‘I would be tone deaf and irresponsible if I didn’t admit to how privileged my life has been and how much of a leg up my upbringing has given me.

‘I’m really, really, extremely grateful for the situation my parents have been able to give me, and I’ll be grateful until the day I die.

‘Whether it’s being able to attend university or have job opportunities, I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve given me.’

Anais said she thinks there is ‘justification’ around hiring nepotism babies as she addressed criticism that they have access to opportunities which other people don’t.
