Oprah Winfrey ended her final show last night with a mention of her gay fans. The chatshow queen, who sobbed and laughed through her final hour, thanked viewers for their support over the last 25 years.

“I thank you for tuning in every day, along with your mothers and your sisters and your daughters, your partners, gay and otherwise,” she said.

“I thank you for being as much of a sweet inspiration for me as I’ve tried to be for you.”

Oprah, who is in a long-term relationship with a man, has been dogged by lesbian rumours over her relationship with best friend Gayle King. The pair have laughed off the gossip, saying they would not keep any romance secret.

“Next time you naturally (that’s what men do) adjust your boys in public, tell them you’re just checking yourself for testicular cancer! I attached a How To video below, I thought you pervs might like some visuals. Whatever it takes, that gets you to know this vital information and get you interested, I will do, because I love you, you and (points finger at you) you.”
