She\u2019s making history as the show\u2019s first transgender bride, and now Married at First Sight UK star Ella Morgan has candidly opened up about her transition journey. <\/p>\n

Speaking to OK!<\/b> and other press, the 29-year-old clinic consultant explained that she knew she was a girl from a young age. <\/p>\n

\u201cI knew I was a girl from about the age of six but I didn\u2019t know for a fact until I did sex education when I was about 12,\u201d she told us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen at 16 I told my mum and dad that I couldn\u2019t bear life anymore and started transitioning from then. I was 20 when I had my surgery. I\u2019ve been fully completed for quite some years now.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Opening up about her reasons for wanting to marry a stranger, Ella admitted that she\u2019s found it \u201creally hard\u201d to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think for me personally, I can\u2019t be picky because most guys aren\u2019t willing to tell their friends and family that their girlfriend Ella is trans,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought, \u2018OK I\u2019m never going to meet anyone then.\u2019 I tried and tried and tried, and I thought the only way I was ever going to get married, let alone just get a boyfriend, was by doing something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ella, from Weston-Super-Mare, continued: \u201cI had a lot of guys interested, but as soon as they found out about me or as soon as it got to a serious stage, they cut it off because they were like, \u2018I\u2019m a bit embarrassed by you and I don\u2019t want to tell my family and friends.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be someone\u2019s dirty secret. I feel like people need that education, but I don\u2019t want to harp on about it to everyone. I\u2019d rather watch the show, see that I\u2019m just like the other girls and relatable, and hopefully people from that will feel that they can talk openly or date trans girls, whether they\u2019re pre op or post op.\u201d<\/p>\n

She hopes that she will inspire others by doing the E4 show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel like I\u2019m blessed that Channel 4 gave me this opportunity to be a voice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s a long time coming. Love Island would never have someone like me on that show because it is so mainstream and it\u2019s always that typical type of boy and girl. I\u2019m just so glad that Channel 4 has asked me. I never thought in a million years I\u2019d get asked to do it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Married at First Sight UK airs from Monday 18th September at 9pm on E4.<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
