Lorraine said on Monday’s instalment of her ITV show: “You’re just another bride, well I say just another bride… But brides are special.<\/p>\n
“You had a lovely moment with your dad and your parents.”<\/p>\n

Not only for trans people but for families of trans people that they’ll get to see a loving supportive family.<\/p>\n “It’s never been easy – my dad talks about how it has been really hard for them, and I think you always think about what the trans person goes through.<\/p>\n “But my family has also been through so much – I can’t believe I said all that without crying. They are my biggest advocates, my dad is my life!”<\/p>\n Married at First Sight expert Mel Schilling told Roman Kemp on Captial Breakfast: “I think the most important thing to talk about with Ella, firstly, we love her so much, and what an incredible role model, she would hate to think that I was saying that because she doesn’t see herself as a role model.<\/p>\n “But just having visibility of a trans woman to normalise that is so important, so incredibly important, the number one thing that was important for us was looking after her from a mental health perspective, the duty of care to her is number one, and then it’s about consent, we’re not in the business of surprising anyone, this is not a gotcha moment, this is a proper relationship between a man and a woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n “So, we did get consent, we got her consent, and we got his consent, he knew that he was marrying a trans woman.”<\/p>\n
