I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Caitlyn Jenner lifted the lid on her gender reassignment surgery because she was tired of fans asking questions about her genitals.
The athlete-turned-reality TV star came out as a trans woman back in 2015, and was open about a number of procedures she'd gone through.
As well as a boob job, she had a brow lift, jawbone shave, a tracheal shave and facial feminisation surgery.
However, Caitlyn, 70, admitted it was her "final surgery" that held the most fascination for her fans.
She decided she was tired of answering questions about it, so she went public with news that she'd undergone a gender reassignment operation in 2017.
In her book The Secrets of My Life, she explained she just wanted to have "the right parts" and was also tired of tucking her penis in all the time.
She wrote: "The surgery was a success, and I feel not only wonderful but liberated.
"So why even consider it? Because it’s just a penis. It has no special gifts or use for me other than what I have said before, the ability to take a whiz in the woods.
"I just want to have all the right parts. I am also tired of tucking the damn thing in all the time."
She went on to address all those fans who'd been speculating about her surgery, and vowed to never talk about the op again.
Caitlyn added: "You want to know, so now you know. Which is why this is the first time, and the last time, I will ever speak of it."
Male to female gender reassignment surgery is a major operation that involves removing the testicles and most of the penis and shortening the urethra.
The skin surrounding the penis is then inverted and used to create a vagina.
Many vaginoplasty operations also include forming what's known as a neoclitoris using a composite graft of the tip of the penile glans.
After the surgery, there is a two-week recovery but patients also have a long maintenance period in which they must stop their new vagina from closing up.
It requires regular dilation using a 'dilator' three or four times a day for the first three weeks.
Often dilation is required on a weekly basis for the rest of the patient's life.
