Bearded Eurovision star Conchita Wurst has said she is "not comfortable" with being seen as a gay icon. The Rise Like A Phoenix singer, who won the competition last year, said she preferred to be herself. "I'm not really comfortable (with it) if I'm honest, because I don't see myself as an icon, I'm just representing myself in the first place," the Austrian drag artist said.
