MIKE WHE AND ‘THE WHE LOT’ STARS BREAK DOWN THAT JAW-DROPPG TWIST: I WANT TO ‘MAKE GAY SEX TRANSGRSIVE AGA’

Edor's note: this post ntas spoilers for episo five of The Whe Lot season 's givg a weeks-long tease, we fally got a gay sex scene on season two of The Whe Lot. In a classic Whe Lot twist, though, a gay sex scene me om somewhere else entirely.

Introduced episo three, wealthy gay man Quent (Tom Hollanr) is at the Whe Lot hotel Sicily wh a group of gay iends. Though most of them are rich olr gays, there are a few younger men their pany, cludg Jack (Leo Woodall), a charmg and sexy guy om Essex who refers to Quent as his "uncle.

Quent's personaly, accent, and tast f the archetypil "proper wealthy Brish gay man, " whereas Jack looks and sounds like a future st member of Love Island. Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer. Both feature a character walkg on gay sex behd closed doors, and both occur two episos before the fale.
