Ugh, he has a girlfriend, and yet you assume he is deeply closeted, anon? How do you know this? Did he tell you?

He looks irritated with all the questions regarding Merlin/Arthur, not upset, not uncomfortable, but actively irritated, because that question dominated perceptions of the whole show, driven by a group of vocal fans who fell for all the awful queer-baiting of the show runners. That perception regarding the show pretty much invalidated whatever nuance he was bringing to the performance, and also really ruined his character development. So yes, I would be really irritated too. You probably did not hear this, but Colin Morgan was constantly questioning the show-runners on the motives and through-line of his character towards the end, and with very good reason, I feel.
