Stephen Gately’s heartbroken former love has told how he called the singer’s mobile after he died just to hear his voice one last time.
Eloy de Jong had a three-year relationship with Gately which ended in 2002. He was so stunned by the news of his former lover’s death he called his mobile phone yesterday morning.
Eloy, 36, said: “I rang him and it went to voicemail, but I didn’t get his voice. He didn’t have a message set up. I wanted to hear him. Just
one last time.”
Eloy, from Holland, was in a boyband called Caught In The Act when he met Stephen at a concert in Switzerland. They went to a party together and Eloy recalls how he and Stephen chatted for hours.
“I remember it being so difficult to let our guard down because we were not yet openly gay,” said Eloy. “Ronan used to help us keep things quiet. We had to be clever about the way we hid our relationship.”
The couple were together for three years which Eloy describes as a “rollercoaster”.
It was while dating Eloy that Stephen announced publicly he was gay. Eloy said: “We agreed we wouldn’t let anyone blackmail us and we made the decision to tell everyone, because Stephen was in love with me and we felt it was right. Afterwards it was such a relief for him.”

At one point Stephen went live with Eloy at his home just outside Amsterdam.
“Those were great years,” said Eloy. “We had a canal boat and
used to just leave our mobiles behind, leave all the madness and
go on the boat.
“We loved cooking together. He never ate enough vegetables, so I would make him eat his greens.
“He used to sing and dance in front of me. He was so talented.”
Eloy was stunned at the news Stephen died in his sleep after drinking until the early hours.
He said: “Stephen was never a big drinker. People think that because we were both pop stars we would be taking drugs and drinking all the time. But it wasn’t like that. Stephen wasn’t like that at all.”
Eloy said: “The final time I spoke to Stephen was last year. He rang me for a catch-up. I can’t believe we’ll never speak again. It’s so sad. He was so young. I’ll never forget
