The British fashion designer was born in Doncaster to Pakistani parents, but now lives in the US – and has said he will never return to live in the UK because of the racism he faced growing up in Doncaster.

In 2022, he revealed how he was left for dead after being beaten up in a shocking racist attack in his home town when he was just five years old.

The presenter, who has regularly spoken out about his difficulties growing up as an Asian homosexual in Doncaster, revealed the horrific attack when appearing on TV’s This Morning.

He explained: “It’s the reason I don’t live in the UK now. I was walking to school, I was on my own. It was literally a block away, not even two minutes.

“My mum was working every hour that god sends, she was an immigrant, my brother who would normally got to school with me was sick, so I had to walk alone. A group of men beat me and left me for dead. It was purely because I was a Pakistani in England.”

Tan said: “When you have kids you start to realise how disgusting it is. When I was a kid I thought ‘it’s just a matter of fact’.”

In 2022, while filming a documentary in the UK on his battles with racism and how he had bleached his skin to try and fit in at school, he pulled out of a return trip to Doncaster after suffering flashbacks of the violence suffered during his childhood.
