Bruce Jenner to 'introduce himself as a female as he says goodbye to his male persona on Diane Sawyer 20/20 special episode'

 

It has been claimed that Bruce Jenner is set to say goodbye to his male persona for good when he appears on a special edition of ABC's 20/20 later this month. The Olympic gold medallist and reality TV star, who is expected to address reports that he is undergoing a gender transformation, is said to be speaking to the show's host Diane Sawyer in a two-hour one-off episode.

And it has now been further claimed by TMZ that the 65-year-old will finally bid farewell to his male self, and will 'present himself' as a woman for the first time. But the site has stressed - after allegedly getting word from sources close to Bruce - that he will not be dressed as a female or reveal his alternative name.

For the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, it's thought to be less about his physical appearance, and more about his mental journey throughout this period of time. It has also been claimed that he'll open up about his realisation about his gender difficulties from the age of five, in a series of pre-recorded interviews. 

Contacts has been made with representative for Bruce Jenner but they declined to comment.

ABC previously revealed details of the upcoming show, which is called Bruce Jenner: The Interview: it will be a two-hour programme with Sawyer, and would be 'far-ranging and exclusive'.

The revealing interview will air on Friday April 24, after months of speculation. According to media reports, the former track and field star has told his family that he is transgender, and they are incredibly supportive of him.

Bruce, who won a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, would come out as transgender during an interview with Sawyer and that he would star in a reality TV show about his transition.
