"I should have realised that leading a double life was also not practical. I thought I could protect my secret as long as I was careful about who I trusted and who I spoke to. But that was unrealistic. People guessed, people knew, and eventually it was only a matter of time before it all had to come out." - Former BP chairman John Browne, writing in the Guardian. In 2007 Browne resigned after his "kept boy" sold his story to a British tabloid. Browne now says being outed was a blessing in disguise.
