Well that's the end of that speculation, good for her
Quote:
Big Brother contestant Hallie has come out as transgender to her fellow housemates, admitting she felt she wasn't being 'authentic' by not telling them.
The youth worker, 18, was seen entering the show's famous house on ITV on Sunday night as the programme returned to British television after a five year hiatus.
She chose not to tell her fellow series contestants her story on the launch night but had a change of hear the following day.
In scenes set to air on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday night, the housemates will be seen gathered at the dining table discussing their living situation.
Hallie says: 'Hey guys, I just have something to say. Yesterday I feel like I wasn’t being 100% authentic in myself.'
She adds: 'I thought I’d let everyone know I’m trans, if you didn’t know already. I just thought I’d make that loud and clear. I’m a trans woman if you didn’t know.'
Hallie’s fellow housemates give her a hug, with Chanelle saying: 'Good for you. That’s very brave of you.”
As the housemates show their support to Hallie, Dylan says: 'This is a moment. I like it.'
Hallie says: 'I don’t know why I was nervous,' prompting Farida to say: 'You don’t need to be nervous.'
Trish tells Hallie: 'We’ve got you.'
Hallie is not the first transgender housemate to appear on Big Brother - trans woman Nadia Almada won the show in in 2004 and trans man Luke Anderson triumphed in 2012.
