The grandmother of a five-year-old boy who is now living as a girl has admitted she would rather he were back to his old self than going around in pink dresses.

For more than a year Zach Avery from Purfleet, Essex, has worn his long fair hair done up in bunches and insisted on living his life as a member of the opposite sex.

But Jill Recknell, from Alderney in the Channel Islands, who is in her mid 50s, confessed she cannot accept that her grandson has suddenly become a granddaughter.

According the The People. (For those who drive on the wrong side of the road, The People is what the News of the World used on their damp floors, sort of thing).

The poor woman was probably hounded to say something. The rest, as they say, is fiction.
