Exclusive: UK's first transgender TV newsreader India Willoughby 'There was only 50% of me that was actually alive'
INDIA WILLOUGHBY - THE UK'S FIRST TRANSGENDER NEWSREADER - JOINED COLEEN, JANET, JUNE AND LISA FOR A CANDID CHAT ABOUT HER JOURNEY.
Born Jonathan, India made the brave decision to talk about being transgender, telling the panel, 'Growing up there was only about 50% of me that was actually alive. It's such a complex subject being transgender to explain.'
'When I was young I was aware something wasn't quite right,' she added. 'I was about three or four but I didn't know it was gender. My grandma caught me playing with a lipstick and she didn't tell me off in a nasty way but she pointed out the rules of pink and blue.'
And watching old footage of Jonathan presenting the news a decade ago, India, 50, said, 'It's really difficult looking at my old me. I accept it. It's my old skin, as it were.'
