'We're human beings - same as everyone else'
Kellie Maloney is hoping to break down more barriers to equality for the transgender community in a new project. She will be hosting the final of the Miss Transgender UK pageant in September.
The boxing promoter, who announced in 2014 her decision to change gender and live as a woman, says negative feelings towards transgender people in the UK reflect those felt towards the lesbian, gay and bisexual community 20 years ago.
Ms Maloney was joined in the studio by Courtney Campbell one of the competitors.
