"Culture minister Ed Vaizey has urged TV bosses to award more roles to transgender actors.
The minister said that the success and popularity of trans characters in online shows such as 'Orange is the New Black' and 'Transparent' proved that broadcasters should do more to improve their diversity agenda.
His comments come after EastEnders was praised for making TV history by casting a transgender actor in a transgender role for the first time."
