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.”
Great expectations ... but these six unsuspecting
contestants are in for a shock in new Sky One show
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 cruellest reality show yet.”
