Nadia Almada has admitted she's 'terrified' after the UK's Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally women.

The 48-year-old star, who made Big Brother history in 2004 as the iconic reality show's first transgender winner, has opened up on her fears over the impact of the ruling.

Last week the UK's highest court confirmed the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the 2010 Equality Act 'refer to a biological woman and biological sex'.

This means transgender women with a gender recognition certificate can be excluded from single-sex spaces, including changing rooms and toilets, if 'proportionate'.

Appearing on Friday's episode of Good Morning Britain, Nadia said: 'It's terrifying times for me. The whole idea we are not woman is terrifying.'

She added: 'For me, or for us, people from my generation that lived with those experiences of being discriminated, now having those protected rights taken away from us, it's very dehumanising and it's terrifying.'
