A bedroom discussion on transsexuals has led Nadia to feel more uncomfortable in the Big Brother house.

The discussion started when Victor asked Jason, "what if you found out your girlfriend used to be a man?"

Becki then voiced a story about a friend who changed their gender leading to mixed response from the male members of the household.

"It isn't anything against the person," said Victor. "But the first thing that would come into my head would be 'this is a geezer'."

But Becki, introduced to the house after four weeks on the outside, responded in diplomatic fashion, knowledgeable of Nadia's sex-change operation.

"If I fell in love with a guy and I found out that he had female genitalia but changed it to male because inside he felt that way - it really wouldn't make any difference to me," replied Becki.

But Ahmed reaffirmed the boys' forthright views on the issue.

"We want a real woman. We don't want half a woman, half a man," he stated.

Nadia could be seen peering over the bed covers, eyes wide open, before retreating into the lounge.
Becki followed her and issued an apology.

"All I can tell you is that not everyone thinks like that. I'm sorry, they just riled me up," she said.
