Big Brother star Hallie’s mother Samantha has broken her silence after her daughter bravely opened up about being a transgender woman on the ITV2 show.
During Monday’s episode, 18-year-old youth worker Hallie made an announcement to her fellow housemates.“Hey guys, I just have something to say,” she said. “Yesterday, I feel like I wasn’t being 100 per cent authentic in myself.
“I thought I’d let everyone know I’m trans, if you didn’t know already,” she continued. “I just thought I’d make that loud and clear. I’m a trans woman if you didn’t know.”
