A CROSS-dressing Sheffield factory worker’s family found out he had a secret double life as a transvestite when he turned up at his own wedding reception – wearing a bride’s dress.
Dean Dudley, aged 35, from Barnsley, had never even told his mum until the day he tied the knot that he loves wearing women’s clothes, high heels and make-up on nights out with his wife.And he kept his alter-ego, “Deanne”, a secret from his macho workmates at Sheffield factory Seal Engineering in Ecclesfield until TV crews arrived to film him for a documentary about women who marry transvestites, to be broadcast on Sky One tonight.

Dean said he had known he was a cross-dresser since he was six, but hid the truth from his family for nearly three decades.
“Being a transvestite is as natural to me as talking and breathing. It is a huge part of who I am,” he said.
“It is nice to be somebody else for a change and I get a kick out of it, although there is nothing sexual about it.”
Dean’s fondness for dressing in women’s clothes led to the breakdown of a 12-year relationship with a previous girlfriend before he met his wife Robyn – in the ladies’ toilets of a Barnsley club.
“I didn’t tell a single person about it until I told my then-partner back in 1993, but I was still suppressing that part of me and for the next six or seven years would dress up only when I was on my own in the house.
“She hadn’t seen me in women’s clothes until my 27th birthday when I decided that was the point in m
y life when I had to come out and be Deanne in the open, in safe environments like gay and transvestite nightclubs.“My girlfriend didn’t take it very well at all. Her family thought I was gay and that I wanted a sex change and they gave her a lot of grief, and we eventually broke up.
“But I had been stewing on it for a very long time and it was just something I had to do.
“As soon as I made that decision to go out regularly dressed as Deanne and be who I really am, I couldn’t go back – it is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube once you’ve squeezed it.
“These days, I walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to being a transvestite.”

I agree, a lovely story. Did you like the name he gave the breast implants? ‘Chicken Fillets’ wonderful!
