The 59-year-old star is currently self-identifying as a trans woman and believes she's had a "good innings" in "boy mode", and is now considering undergoing treatment to "look like a woman".

Asked if she will ever physically transition, she told The Guardian newspaper: “I might do. I feel that boy mode has had a good innings in this one life that we get. It would be great to get up in the morning and think I look like a woman so I’m going to throw on a tracksuit and have breakfast.

" It is getting better and better. I do feel I can express myself in a more feminine way, which may be the age thing.”

And Eddie has had "boob envy" for decades.

Asked if she'd like boobs, she exclaimed: “Yeah! I’ve had boob envy since my teens. Just when teenage girls of my age were going ‘I want boobs’, I was thinking yeah me too. But I couldn’t say it.

"They talk about penis envy, and I believe some women suffer penis envy. I cannot for the life of me get my head around this. But yes, I’ve always had breasts envy.”

However, Eddie declined to answer when asked if she has been taken hormone pills because she is keen to keep some aspects of her life private.

She said: “I’m very happy to transition and I feel I have been transitioning. But I do feel I’ve told everybody everything in my life, so I’m going to keep a certain amount of privacy.”

The 'Six Minutes To Midnight' star has admitted it has got "easier" being trans as she's got older.

She said: “It’s true older men and older women look quite a lot similar. There’s a middle area where it’s much trickier. Visually, there’s not so much difference between older men and older women, so it does get easier.”
