Bart Hesters is the new Mister Gay Belgium 2018


On Saturday, June 2, 2018 Bart Hesters (32) from Lochristi , became  in the Elckerlyc Theater in Antwerp the new Mister Gay Belgium 2018  (MGB2018) elected on a spectacular final show.

1st runner-up was Nick Van Vooren (21) from Eeklo and 2nd runner-up was Josip Gallet (24) from Oosterzele. Josip also received the prize from Mister Sympatie from the other participants. .

In addition to his title of MGB 2018, Bart Hesters also received the prize from Mister Photogenics 2018.

Rémy Penant (30) from Brussels also participated as the only French-speaking participant and also showed that he also knows Dutch, which the audience was encouraged on aplaus.



The 19-year-old Jaimie Deblieck, the previous Mister Gay Belgium, looked back to a fantastically eventful year. His theme was to bring attention to autism and problems of discrimination in the workplace.

He thanked the audience with a lot of emotion and he received a 'standing ovation' from his publique as his work and good speech. "You can fall, but do not stay down. It is when you get up again that you have the power to change things and start to change."

The MGB2018 project this year was the Flemish Autism Association. This organization brings people together with autism and wants to motivate society to take account of their specific needs. For Jaimie, who is also autistic, this is very important. He often received comments that he was autistic at school.
