Proof of half my contention: TV suitors shocked as dream girl turns out to be a man By Catriona Davies (Filed: 31/10/2003) Six men who competed for the affection of an attractive brunette called Miriam for a reality television programme have threatened legal action after discovering that the object of their attention was a transsexual. Contestants have accused Sky One, which is due to broadcast the show, and Brighter Pictures, the programme makers, of offences including conspiracy to commit a sexual assault. The programme, called Find Me A Man, was filmed in Ibiza over the summer and the contestants, all aged 20 to 35, were invited to pick the most attractive woman from a line-up. They were then filmed on dates with her. All of them chose Miriam, who, unknown to them, was born a man. Some of the men are believed to have been intimate with Miriam before discovering at the end of the show that she was a pre-operative transsexual. They were allegedly asked to sign release forms, before Miriam's secret was revealed, consenting to their appearances being screened. Lawyers for the six men have written to Sky and Brighter Pictures accusing them of conspiracy to commit a sexual assault, defamation, breach of contract and personal injury. They have also asked for the programme not to be broadcast until after a trial or court order. Sky said: "We have received a letter of complaint regarding this programme. We will examine its contents carefully before making any response. "The transmission date has not been confirmed and the show is not in the Sky One schedule at present." A spokesman for Brighter Pictures said it had made a point of never referring to Miriam as a woman when getting the men to take part. "As Miriam is a transsexual, I would never refer to her as male or female. She is a gorgeous creature," he said. Brighter Pictures is a subsidiary of Endemol, the company that makes Big Brother. telegraph.co.uk
