Celebrity Big Brother's Tiffany Pollard comes out as non-binary - 'I'm out of the closet'

Reality TV star Tiffany Pollard has publicly come out as non-binary, opening up about her gender identity and sexual orientation in a series of candid interviews.

The former Flavor of Love and Celebrity Big Brother UK star, 43, explained that she resonates with being non-binary because she experiences both masculine and feminine aspects of herself. "I really do resonate with non-binary because I feel like we are so dual without even recognising it," she shared this week.

"Some days, I may feel a lot more masculine, and some days I’m super feminine, and that’s okay," the iconic CBB housemate added.

Tiffany has also reflected on her early experiences with her sexuality, revealing that she first kissed a girl in middle school and immediately felt it was right.

"It had to happen at some point. You gonna come out of that closet, and once you do, it’s like, 'Okay, wow, this world is open to me in new ways,'" she told PinkNews. "Shoving me back in the closet is never gonna be an option."

The reality star, who became a household name as the “HBIC” on Flavor of Love, has long been celebrated for her unapologetic personality and defiance of norms.

On Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2016, Tiffany delivered some of the show’s most unforgettable moments.

These include her infamous “David’s dead” misunderstanding and a string of viral diary room rants where she slammed fellow housemate Gemma Collins.

These moments have cemented her as a fan favourite and contributed to her incredibly strong following within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Tiffany attributes part of her appeal to the community to her authenticity and her resilience, as well as her iconic and sometimes controversial reality TV moments.

Speaking on a recent podcast, she said: "I was bullied a lot, especially coming up as a kid, and I feel like the gays understand that and accept it and see me in a lot of ways, and vice versa".

She also discussed her exploration of masculinity, noting: "I talk like a man, I think like a man… and why is that something I have to suppress if I know it’s there? But can I throw on a heel and a wig and feel amazing? Yes. There’s still another side to me."

The star has described her life as “very, very broad,” emphasising that she has never shied away from expressing herself fully.

Tiffany's openness about her non-binary identity and queer experiences adds to her reputation as an incredibly iconic and influential figure for representation in reality television and beyond.
