A TRANSVESTITE taking part in a bizarre new reality TV show wants to be a top model – just like sexy Danielle Lloyd.
Fella-in-a-frock Gavin Beales, a power tool designer, glams up as leggy “Leah”, right, for nights out with his girlfriend.
Now he will reveal in intimate detail how he transforms himself on C4’s
Gavin Beales is about to put the TV in your TV – as he goes for glory in the all-male Mr Miss World competition in Thailand.
And he reckons he is so convincing that people frequently mistake him for his girlfriend’s sister.
The 41-year-old transvestite uses sticky tape, silicone bra inserts, a long blonde wig and false lashes to turn himself into glamorous Leah. Gavin, other trannies and trans-sexuals all compete to try to emulate gorgeous beauty queens like Big Brother favourite Danielle Lloyd, 23.
Sue, 49, who has been with Gavin for seven years, watched as he flew the flag for England in the contest.
His story, soon to be seen on Channel 4, goes into graphic detail about how Gavin – who has not resorted to surgery – achieves his stunning cleavage and tucks his bits out of the way.
But the power-tool designer from Newcastle claims they are not an odd couple.
Gavin said: “A girlfriend is the most important accessory for a transvestite. I’m lucky to have someone who understands. Sue gets turned on by me dressed as a woman and would class herself as bi-curious.
“It can cause quite a stir when we kiss. People get excited because they think it’s two glamorous women.
“Blokes often come over to chat us both up without realising I’m a man.”
But he also confessed: “The thing that turns me on the most is me.”
Research nurse Sue, from London, said: “Gavin is breathtakingly beautiful as a woman. Visually I prefer him as Leah but he’s physically all man. He’s the best of both worlds.”
