The Cumbrian journalist who become the first transgender woman to present an all-female TV talk show has been short-listed for a prestigious award.
India Willoughby, 51, who has always been determined to ensure her transition was not a reason to end her career in the media, said she was “gobsmacked” to have been nominated for event that has become the Oscars of the LGBT world.
She was nominated by ITV in London.
The broadcaster – which employed India before her transition - has stood by her, and gave her the chance to return to TV reporting.
Her shortlisting followed two much talked bout appearances on ITV's Loose Women.
The nomination states: “Fans of the ITV panel show were thrilled by the journalist’s performance on the show and tweeted their hopes that she would become a permanent fixture, saying 'Loving India. Breaking barriers, addressing stigmas, making way for a new era of acceptance and inclusion in society'."
The more we become visibly the more people will come to accept us.
