Ian Gallagher is the most sexually successful member of the Gallagher family, having bedded a large percentage of the male population of the Chatsworth Estate.
His brothers and sisters are all aware their brother is gay, although sleeping with a girl whilst on the run from the Maguires confused many (but not when you know the Maguires).
Ian is not Frank's biological son, but is treated with the same drunken affection as he treats the rest of his family.
After suffering amnesia in Series 6, Ian heads to Ibiza to party (like it's 1999) only to pick up a stowaway - Danny - on his way back, who he then befriends on his return to Chatsworth.
Series 7 sees Ian sharing a bungalow with Mickey. Yep, that's right - Mickey.
