Summary

Jamie is with Tom Lucy this week to chat to transgender comedian, writer and performer Jordan Gray. Jordan was a contestant on The Voice before moving into comedy. She has a sitcom in development with Simon Pegg's production company and is taking a live show up to this year's Edinburgh festival. The boys talk to her about growing up, performing and the moment she finally knew she wanted to transition (it's not exactly how you might imagine)
