Big Brother spoilers: Emotional Hallie reveals she’s a transgender woman telling housemates ‘I wasn’t being authentic’
BIG Brother contestant Hallie reveals she is a transgender woman tonight as she tells the housemates "I wasn't being authentic yesterday".
The 18-year-old youth worker from London opens up in an emotional chat with her Big Brother co-stars around the dinner table.
Hallie shares: "Hey guys, I just have something to say. Yesterday I feel like I wasn’t being 100% authentic in myself.
"I thought I’d let everyone know I’m trans, if you didn’t know already.
"I just thought I’d make that loud and clear. I’m a trans woman if you didn’t know.”
Hallie’s fellow contestants rally around her to give her a hug as Chanelle, 29, says: “Good for you. That’s very brave of you.”

But after being revealed to be 18 years old, many BB viewers took to X in disbelief.
One person wrote: “As soon as I saw Hallie I didn't think she looked 18. Probably because she's so big built and is tall in height. Loved her interaction in the party games. This girl is going to bring the drama that's for sure.”
A second person said: “if Hallie is 18 then so am I boy,” and a third penned: “Hallie looks A LOT older than 18.”
Another viewer commented: “There is no way Hallie is 18 ffs…,” and a fifth added: “There’s no way on Gods green earth Hallie is 18. If she is, so am I.”
Meanwhile, Hallie isn’t a total stranger to fame.
She said before entering the house: “I once accidentally swallowed magnets and I was in the news because I had to get them surgically removed and everything!”
Describing herself, she said: “I’m a bit of a diva and I speak my mind but I’m also a very lovely person.
"I’m a girl’s girl, for sure. I’m honest, fun and, yeah, just brilliant.”
Big Brother returns on ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm.
