The assistant editor of Welsh Icons, Colin Ricketts has admitted he has ginger hair after pressure from a number of Sunday Newspapers.
Ricketts follicle pigmentation problems had until now been a closely guarded secret with even his partner unaware of the extent of his condition.
The editor of Welsh Icons, the flamboyantly celibate homosexual Dom Stocqueler at first refused to comment but later added “I always had my suspicions, I thought he was strawberry blonde”.
It is understood that Ricketts who is in a stable relationship with his long term partner (a woman with boobs and everything) had been been living a double life and has been hiding his affliction by wearing the hood up on his anorak when venturing out in public.
A spokeswoman for the University Hospital of Wales told us:
“This is a rare genetic condition which can affect as many as 1 in 100,000 people. Most gingers can lead perfectly normal lives but if two gingers breed then the consequences can be dire for the offspring. Gingerness is a recessive gene and some carriers may be unaware that at heart they are really ginger”
Johan Flapsandwich, the brains behind the Cardiff punk combo Sicknote and owner of Tantrum Records stated:
“I’ve always had my doubt’s about him – look at that Mick Hucknell. The truth will out in the end”.
A spokesman for Stonewall Cymru added:
“This is the last thing we need. It’s Cardiff Mardi Gras next week and the last thing we need is freaks like this giving the Welsh LGBT community a bad name even though we accept that he is a hetrosexual”.
Finally Rev Dr Parsley Evan Evan Evans of the Welsh Methodist Free Church Congregational Church of the Former Day Saints added:
“He is an abomination. The bible tells us quite clearly in Welsh that those people with over 666 orange hairs should be put in wheelie bins or something like that.”
So that leaves us in something of a quandary. We are thinking of giving him high doses of hormones and Grecian 2000, waiting him to grow full body hair and selling to Whipsnade Zoo as an Orang Utan.
