New reality TV Show

THIS is the model beauty six bachelors try desperately to bed in a new
reality show - unaware she was born a MAN.
The hapless lads spend weeks battling to seduce the South American
stunner in Sky One series There's Something About Miriam. But while viewers know
her secret from the start, the boys only discover the truth after Miriam
picks the winner, then lifts her skirt to reveal a full set of wedding tackle.

One embarrassed contestant was so furious at the shock revelation that
he PUNCHED the show's producer. Now all six fellas
have launched a legal bid to stop the humiliating show going on air.
They are also suing TV bosses for sexual assault.

Miriam is a pre-op transsexual, often called a shemale, which means she
still has male genitalia. But her suitors - who include an aspiring
actor, an ex-lifeguard and ski instructor, a chef and a Royal Marine Commando -
know nothing about this as they kiss, cuddle and grope her on screen.

A Sky insider said: "Miriam and the lads are all filmed 24 hours a day
at a luxury villa in Ibiza. "The boys have to do whatever they can to impress
her before she picks her favourite. "And at the end of the two weeks, she
breaks the shock news that she is a transsexual. It's the lads' worst
nightmare."

The show, presented by Tim Vincent, is due to start on Sky One on
November 16 at 9pm. But the fuming contestants, who fear they will be a laughing
stock, have hired celebrity law firm Schillings to bring legal action
against Sky and production company Brighter Pictures. They intend to sue
for conspiracy to commit a sexual assault, because they didn't consent to be
kissed and fondled by a man.

They are also determined to sue for defamation, breach of contract and
personal injury. Schillings have insisted the programme be delayed until
the legal dispute is settled. All six lads signed papers handing producers
free reign to use any footage before filming. Yet they now claim they were
duped - and have begged telly watchdogs the Independent Television Commission
to stop the programme going on air.

A show insider said: "The men had no idea that Miriam was a transsexual.
"They are horrified because there are shots of them snogging, cuddling
and groping her. "At the end of the show she sat them down and told them,
'I've got something to show you', then lifted up her skirt. "One lad was so
outraged he hit the producer in the face. It's the cruelest reality show yet."
