Media Appearances

Following my very public coming-out video in April 2017, my story caught the attention of the local media and I started doing interviews for local radio stations and newspapers. After every interview I was contacted by other transgender people who were struggling with their gender identity and they told me that what I said had helped and encouraged them. I then started doing interviews for national radio, TV and magazines as a trans ambassador. Not only am I helping trans people directly, but I am helping to educate the general public about trans issues. The more people who are educated on the subject, the more acceptance there will be and the easier it will be for trans people to come out in the future.

I am on the BBC’s and ITV’s lists of experts, so when they need someone to represent the trans community, they can call me and I will be there. Links to most of my past BBC appearances have now expired as the programmes on BBC Sounds normally expire after a month, however, here are some other interviews that I have done which will give you good idea of how I come across on both the television and radio. You can see that I am very relaxed in front of the camera or microphone and I am able to explain trans issues very clearly. Most importantly though, I have a great sense of humour so I always has fun with my interviewers as I think it is the key to making the viewers or listeners actually listen to what I has to say.

This is an interview I did for ITV News which had 20,000 views on Facebook in the first week alone.

This was a really fun interview on “The Sofa of Success” with Rachel Hargrave of The Awards People.
