I'm A Celebrity's Caitlyn Jenner reveals she starting transitioning before meeting ex-wife Kris

Caitlyn Jenner has revealed that she initially started transitioning before meeting ex-wife Kris Jenner.

Caitlyn, 70, opened up about her transition and her past in a candid chat with some of her I'm A Celebrity campmates, which aired during Sunday night's episode.

After discussing her famous reveal to the word on the front cover of Vanity Fair magazine with Nadine, Caitlyn was quizzed by Jacqueline on her surgery.

And she confided in the ex-Eastenders actress that her transition actually started a lot earlier than most people realise, before meeting Kris changed things.

She said "Over many many years I had a lot but then near the end it went pretty quickly because you can do your face and your chest all at the same time which they did.

"Actually for guys if they go on oestrogen, they will grow boobs OK.  And in my case I was on oestrogen back in the 80s and had a little 36/38B and then I met Kris and had them chopped off.  I'm so confused in my life.

“And then the second time round 25 years later I was back on oestrogen obviously and they came back some but not much.  So I really had to have them done so it is kind of past the point of no return.”

Going back to the Vanity Fair cover which sparked a huge reaction on social media, Caitlyn added "Transitioning and trying to make an impact (on) social media is extraordinarily important.  As soon as the cover of Vanity Fair broke, in the next 4 hours and one minute, it broke the world record for the fastest to 1 million followers on Twitter.”
