We all have parts of our lives that we like to keep private and hidden from others. In this episode of secret identity Jackie Bird meets Alistair, a salesman with a secret. He likes to cross dress and lives a separate life as Jennifer. He tells Jackie why, after 30 years of keeping Jennifer behind closed doors, he feels he can no longer deny who he truly is. He is both Alistair and Jennifer. Although Alistair is comfortable with both sides of himself it has come at a cost. He no longer lives with the love of his life, his wife, and he fears the repercussions of revealing his true self to his colleagues and close friends. Show less
