However, he said he turned the chance down, explaining that he "gets on better with women".
But when did Colin come out and who is he dating at the moment?
Colin Jackson revealed his sexuality to the public in September 2017 while on a Swedish TV show.
During the interview, he explained how he had come out to his mum and dad in 2006 following a kiss-and-tell story that surfaced in the press.
He said: “I was waiting for them in the kitchen. They walked in and they sat down. My mother could see my face and I was quite distraught. It didn’t phase them at all.
“My mum went: ‘First of all, is the story true?’ And I said it’s true, so it’s not like I can deny it. And then she went: ‘Well, why are people so disgraceful?’ I just realised, I’ve got the best parents."
Since coming out, Colin has remained private about his relationship status.
At the moment, it is not known whether Colin has someone special in his life.
