Whilst on Made in Chelsea, Locke came out as bisexual, and then later came out as gay.[2] At about the same time he wrote a book called Laid in Chelsea,[3] which spent eight weeks at number 3 of The Sunday Times Best Seller list.[citation needed]

In January 2014, Locke became a housemate in the thirteenth series of Celebrity Big Brother. He finished in third place behind Dappy and winner Jim Davidson.

Locke has been seen on such shows as Celebrity Juice, Alan Carr's Chatty Man, The Jonathan Ross Show, Britain's Got More Talent, The Xtra Factor, Do the Dishes, the twelfth series of 8 Out of 10 Cats[4] and the second series of Fake Reaction.[5]

In 2016 Locke and his co-founders Jack Rogers and Maxim Cheremkhin founded the gay dating app Chappy.[6]

In 2018, Locke landed his first Hollywood film. Directed by Michael Winterbottom, Greed follows the life of a billionaire retail magnate whose wife doesn't understand him.[7]
