Ingrid Nilsen has come out as gay in an emotional YouTube video.

The beauty vlogger shared the 19-minute video with her 3.3million fans last night (June 9), with the 26-year old confessing to hiding her sexuality after having crushes on girls from the age of four.

Something I Want You To Know (Coming Out)

Kicking off her moving speech, Nilsen stated: “I am doing this. I guess I am just going to get right to it. There is something that I want you to know - and that something is I'm gay.”

A tearful Ingrid then continued: “It feels so good to say that. It feels so good”, before admitting that she’s been “waiting for this for a long time”.

The brunette - who appeared as a judge on Lifetime reality TV series Project Runway Threads last year - went on: “I've always known since my earliest memories. This is not something that I chose. It is something that is a part of me and has always been a part of me.

“Essentially I grew up in an environment where homosexuality wasn't universally accepted. t was accepted by some and definitely not the majority and that was difficult.”

The star - who goes by the name of MissGlamorazzi - also confessed to suppressing her sexuality by having boyfriends, but stated: “I can care about a man, but I cannot be in love with a man,' she explains. 'I cannot give myself fully and completely to a man.

“When I have kissed girls with no feelings attached it felt like, oh my god, this this what I am supposed to be doing.”

Ingrid concluded: “I want to live my life unapologetically because I am proud of who I am and I am not going to apologise for who I am anymore,' she says. 'This is the life I have always lived in my head and now its real.”

She ended the clip by exclaiming: “I am so excited!”

Her video already has over a million views, with fans rushing to congratulate Nilsen, with one follower writing: “I respect you Ingrid. I pray you would be happy. I'm still a subscriber and will always be. I love you.”

Another added: “You are a beautiful and wonderful person inside and out!! I hope you get everything that you want because you deserved, don't forget that you deserve as much as everyone else (if not more)!!”

Ingrid, you totally rock! 

21 Social Media Posts Celebrities Would Really Like You To Forget

  • Soz Drake Bell, but the damage is done.
    1 of 21
  • Remember that time James Franco chatted up a 17-year-old girl (who didn't understand the international sign for number) via Instagram DMs? URGH, not ideal.
    2 of 21
  • Woops, whether this was a joke gone wrong or a hack job, this pregnancy tweet about Kylie Jenner & Tyga pretty much broke the Internet.
    3 of 21
  • Diplo really should have thought about who he was dealing with before he took aim at Taylor Swift. That isn't a squad you want to mess with (as he found out the hard way, later calling it 'the biggest mistake').
    4 of 21
  • Talk about a filter fail, this before and after comparison of Kris Jenner and Gordon Ramsey had Instagram users laughing for days.
    5 of 21
  • Twitter rule 101, Sam Smith - don't tweet about being sick and then end up posting pics in a karaoke bar. No wonder you got into hot water with your fans!
    6 of 21
  • Oh Rob Kardashian, this was not your finest moment. Slut-shaming is never OK, and even though he deleted all the tweets eventually, he still got in a lot of trouble.
    7 of 21
  • Before all the Batfleck drama, it was Justin Bieber causing meltdowns online after posting this supposed Batman Vs Superman script. The whole thing turned out to be a prank, but the amount of abuse the Biebs got for it was crazy.
    8 of 21
  • Some celebs aren't great at dealing with break ups with, erm, other celebs - case and point, Naya Rivera and Big Sean. Talk about dirty laundry...
    9 of 21
  • Beyonce has come under a ton of fire for apparently photoshopping her (already flawless) pictures. Her teeny thighs in this particular post got a lot of backlash.
    10 of 21
  • Oh Robin Thicke, not the first person to be caught out by mirrors and certainly not the last. This fan got more than she bargained for when she posted this pic online.
    11 of 21
  • You know when you accidentally favourite a dodgy tweet and want to disappear into the abyss? Well that happened to Harry Styles, who faved a porn account's post & hilariously tweeted this afterwards.
    12 of 21
  • We're pretty sure the collapse of Katy Perry and Russell Brand's marriage started when Russell tweeted this picture of Katy sans make up for the world to see. He deleted it quickly afterwards.
    13 of 21
  • Kim Kardashian probably regretted this Instagram post about her 'beautiful' Thailand holiday pretty quickly, once fans spotted that she used a stock image from Google. Awks.
    14 of 21
  • We can't discuss embarrassing social media without mentioning Jaden Smith, of course. Jaden's account is now no longer with us (RIP) and we can kind of see why...
    15 of 21
  • Rihanna may have thought she was taking an innocent selfie with a slow loris in Thailand back in 2013, but she actually got the animal's 'owners' ARRESTED for it (since they were actually illegal poachers). Oh dear.
    16 of 21
  • When it comes to throwing shade, Justin Bieber knows exactly what he's doing. But we reckon he regretted this tweet at 'work' the next day.
    17 of 21
  • Then 13-year-old Willow Smith caused huge controversy after Kylie Jenner posted this picture of her and a 20-year-old friend online - it even ended in Child Protection Services allegedly investigating Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
    18 of 21
  • All of us have wanted to sub-tweet an ex at some point in our lives, but Kylie Jenner's post about former beau Cody Simpson takes the cake. Too bad all of his fans directed him straight to the mysterious shade.
    19 of 21
  • If Miley Cyrus was looking for media attention with this tweet, then she succeeded, because this cryptic post had tabloids everywhere speculating that Miley's dad was cheating on her mum. She later blamed the whole thing on 'phone issues'.
    20 of 21
  • Liam Payne might think he's Batman sometimes, but this picture posted of him standing on a crazy high roof got him in heaps of trouble. We doubt it was worth the hassle.
