CARLA LAMPREY reckons she's the perfect single mum to her two kids – because she used to be their DAD.

Carla, 47, was once Paul, living with wife Jane* and their daughter Charlie and son Conor.

But Paul split with nursery nurse Jane two years ago to live as a woman — Carla. Inspired by Jane's look, Carla grew her hair long, dyed it blonde and had her facial stubble lasered away.

But while Jane moved out of the family home, kids Charlie, now 17, and Conor, 15, have stayed — and they love Carla to bits.

She says: "Having experience of being a man and a woman has made me the perfect single parent because I can relate to Charlie and Conor as a mum and a dad."
