    Yes me too, I think she looks very presentable.

    I've seen pictures of her as frank and she looks much better as a woman.

    I think she has a lovely face and it must have taken some courage to go in there. Her outfit is fine but she needs a much better wig.

    I know the the papers have been full of Frank Maloney revealing that he's now Kellie, and has been living as Kellie for a year.

    But I'm not buying it. :cool:

    Not in a nasty way, There's just something not right, it's like it's all an act.
    Would BB be clever enough to set this up?
    Would this be the reason "Kellie" is reported to be the highest paid "celeb" in this BB?

    Appologies if I'm wrong, I know it seems far fetched. But...

    What is the background? Obviously I know of Frank Maloney, must admit I was shocked when I saw him come out as Kelly as I had never heard of the story. Is he no longer promoting & is he now Kelly for good or does he like to become Kelly from time to time? I only ask that question because when Audley (who was clearly shocked) asked "So do I call you Kelly?" he replied "You do if you want to get paid for your next fight!" So, I'm a little confused whether he likes to be Kelly indefinitely or kind of part time if you know what I mean because no disrespect but I'm sure it would be a braver thing to disclose to the Boxing World than to a BB audience.

    I think the reveal in the papers was timed with Kellie knowing he was going in the Big Brother house.

    The thing that irked me about her was when she was going on how how she could be who she really was then later in the VT saying "don't piss me off or Frank Maloney the boxing promoter will come out".

    You can't be Frank and Kelly. Pick one but not both

    She has been dressing like this and going out in public as herself since 2012, she appears at boxing matches as Kellie and lives like this. Its just become more public with being on BB. She is having surgery for the whole change.
    If this makes her who she is, she is happy then why not, instead of living a life of not being yourself and true to yourself.

    My hairdresser says that anyone who needs to wear a wig should take it to get a good cut. The main problem with wigs is there is too much hair which needs thinning and shaping. :)

    Bollocks.

    Kellie has been to one boxing match, this past weekend, and no one had a clue about this until last week.

    BIB Have they gone for good or are they just tucked away? ;-)

    Having watched all the fights he promoted and seeing him on tv loads of times acting the tough guy I keep thinking it's a for a bet or something. Boxing promoters are the dodgiest people on the planet.

    I thought she looked appropriately dressed for a middle aged lady with not too much make up.

    The thing I am struggling with is the fact that he claims it is how he has always felt which I would say obviously doesn't fit the profile of someone from the world of Boxing!!

    That's what I heard Kellie say something like..'apart from that I've never been out dressed like this' (I presume aside from last week's photo shoot)

    It's the name that doesn't fit, why didn't he just call herself, Frankie?

    You know that for sure, do you, or did you read it in the papers?

    Infact "Frenchie" looks a whole lot more masculine with a couple of fake additions :D

    Absolutely, Kellie is more of a girl than Frenchie :)

    Indeed .. Kellie / Frank was brought up as a boxing related story on Talksport the other day and none of the presenters,guests or callers had heard anything about it whatsoever until the big reveal.

    I think his wife gave a heart breaking interview about it. I doubt very much it's a put on.

    I have a very close relative who has suffered the same....it's a confusing and painful experience for everyone.

    "Lennox Lewis, 48, said in a statement: “I was just as shocked as anyone at the news about my former promoter and my initial thought was that it was a wind-up."

    There you have it. lol

    Yes, it's likely the person she was before was an act, as in she may have felt the need to over compensate.

    I doubt she's for sale, and if she was, I doubt you could afford her.

    As Frank he was a hard, aggressive man so now that he is in the process of changing gender and wearing a wig and pearls are we to assume that he will also have a change of personality and be a more likeable person? Obviously a huge thing for him to do - but then again money talks. Anyhow, like the OP I am not buying into his journey as yet.
