He's handled this Kellie thing so well imo, and has put over his opinion and his side without being disrespectful to Kellie's feelings. He remained calm and explained his reasoning really clearly.
I think a lot of people could panic and get defensive at being accused of transphobia (which many of us agree Audley didn't show), but Audley has been so open and honest, and apologised for any offence.
Well done Audley
I couldn't have held it together when she whipped out the crocodile woe-is-me tears
