A daughter was left with eyes wide open after reuniting with her long lost father who was living as a transvestite and called himself Chloe.
Emily Wallis managed to track down Clive Harrison, the "Italian Stallion" her mum Ann had described as her real father.
The 22-year-old found she had more in common with her lipstick-wearing 'dad', who has eighty-two pairs of high- heeled shoes.
"Chloe was squeezed into a silver dress and wearing make-up and a wig. I had no idea what to do so I said, 'You look better than me... and I really like your shoes'," the Mirror quoted Emily as saying.
She added: "For years I had dreamed of us all being reunited. I'd even secretly harboured a hope that Clive and Mum might get back together. But when I saw my dad I realised that certainly wasn't going to happen!"
But Emily is more than happy to be reunited with her biological father and wants him to walk her down the aisle.
She said: "I don't see her as dad or another mum, she's just Chloe and I'm grateful to have her in my life.
"I'm proud of her and will be at her hospital bedside when she has the full sex change operation. I even want Chloe to be the one to walk me down the aisle when I get married. I'll be so proud she is there."
