The third series is currently in production in New York, and sources have revealed that Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, will have an encounter with a new gay character, university student Josh Ellis, played by Neal Bledose.

Gossip Girl has proved popular with gay fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 2008 Westwick's decision to share an apartment with co-star Chace Crawford led to rumours about their relationship.

Gossip blogs Perez Hilton and Queerty dot com claimed they had been contacted by reporters at NY Daily News and The New York Post claiming to have proof the heartthrobs were a couple.

Crawford's publicist has issued a statement to Us Weekly confirming that he is "100 percent straight."

How disappointing that "a gay kiss" is still news. How even more disappointing that Crawford's publicist has issued a statement to Us Weekly confirming that he is "100 percent straight."

Some days I can't be bothered!

... And someone tell him to get dressed properly.

Crawford's publicist has issued a statement to Us Weekly confirming that he is "100 percent straight."

To my mind that means only one of two things. Either his client really is gay and he is desperate to keep it quiet or his client is perfectly straight but he thinks there is money to be made out of the rumour that he is not.
