Big Brother loser Kemal is hoping to extend his time in the media spotlight by undergoing a sex change.

The exasperating Turkish belly-dancer is hoping to go through with the procedure as soon as possible and has already booked himself in to the gender realignment clinic in London's Harley Street.

The news has shocked the parents of the 19-year-old, who only even found out he was gay after tuning into the sixth series of the reality show.

Kemal hadn't told them the truth about his sexuality, deciding that they would take it better if eight million viewers found out at the same time.

A close friend of the wannabe told the Daily Star: "Kemal dressed and acted like a boy before he went on the show. But he was a different person when he left because it gave him a fresh start.

"But he told us, he'll still feel like he's living a lie unless he has the operation.

"He's frustrated because his new celebrity status has won him a horde of male admirers, but he doesn't want to be a boyfriend, he wants to be a girlfriend."

Hopefully, the operation will seal a similar fate for Kemal as that of the other fondly-remembered Big Brother transsexual Nadia, who has, it seems, finally had her 30 seconds of fame clocked out.

OMG!

[Fangz]

Wow. I know people will do all sorts of things to stay in the spotlight, but...wow.
Mind you, he looks a lot more feminine than Nads.

Wonder if he'll chicken out at the last minute? I'm no expert, but a sex-change isn't a walk in the park, is it?

True! He is prettier than Nadia was. I think this is a bit of desperation on Kemal's behalf to stay in the spotlight, and if that is the case, it's quite sad - in every sense of the word.

Yep, I don't reckon he'll go through with it - it's just to get more attention.

[jrc]

I agree, can't see him going through with it

[Fangz]

Mind you, if he does go through with it, it shows how desperate he really is.
One hell of a big if, though.

[Kore]

his choice.

[ThaGazBoi]

Its his choice, but i dont think he will go through with it. =/

[Fangz]

I think he's saying it for publicity, but if he's serious about it, then good luck to him.

[ThaGazBoi]

Yeh i agree.

Does he have the money for it then>

[Fangz]

I don't know. He could get cash for the operation through doing interviews about why he wants the operation...which would be kinda funny...

Yawn ********** Yawn

Another Z list BB celebrity grasping at that non existent lime light.

I doubt there is much truth in this story, if any. 'A close friend'?

Yeah Kore, it is his choice, and if he really does want the operation, good luck to him. It's just strange that with all the other revelations we had from Kemal in the house, he never mentioned this before. It smacks of desperation for publicity to me.

It smacks of a made up tabloid story to me. As if anyone would ever consider major surgery, just to stay in the spotlight! He'd be forgotten before he'd even recovered, anyway. And they can't just have the operation at will, either. They have to get through a panel of psychiatrists, and then live for a year as a woman. Kemal's time in the house wouldn't count towards that.

Yeah actually that does sound a lot more likely.

I agree and was going to point out that a sex change is along drawn-out process and is only done after careful phychological tests and a great deal of counselling. It could have a grain of truth in it but, if he does have it done, it will be long after he has lost his BB celebrity status and will not be done for publicity.

Operation or no operation. He certainly needs to see an army of shrinks........
