She said in a recent interview with The Mirror: 'It is not something I talk about. Yes, I had gender confirmation and that for me was important. For many trans people it is not important to them. But for me it was. Femininity and womanhood is in your brain and in your soul. That is the issue.
'It is not what is between your legs. So yes, I had it done. But that is all out of respect to me, my privacy but also respect to the community. It is really not something you talk about.'
BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, Rak-Su's Myles Stephenson, GMB's Kate Garraway and EastEnders starlet Jacqueline Jossa are supposedly set to join Caitlyn and Ian on the show.

Taking to Instagram, the Love Island star then urged fans to offer up any information they may have regarding her ex, after it was claimed he had cheated on her.
Confirming their break-up, she penned: 'The news paper articles are true. I am no longer in a relationship. I hope youse have all had a better week than me!'

JACQUELINE JOSSA: The former EastEnders star, 26, is also tipped for a jungle stint after talks about joining The X Factor: Celebrity 'fizzled out'
Kate, 52, was tipped to enter the jungle last year but was said to have pulled out of the series just weeks before filming was due to start.
Now the Good Morning Britain host has been tipped to make an epic return, with Kate herself fuelling the fires.
Last month she was teased about 'kangaroo testicles' by her GMB co-host Ben Shephard, 44.
The presenter was left a little flustered when Ben referred to the infamous Bushtucker Trials - in which celebs have to eat gruesome creepy crawlies.

Jacqueline, 26, is also tipped for a jungle stint, which supposedly lead to talks about joining X Factor: Celebrity 'fizzled out'.
ROMAN KEMP: After confessing that he'd happily do a stint in the jungle, it appears that the radio presenter, 26, could be getting his dream come true, as he is pipped to be in this year's line-up (pictured in October)
Jacqueline, whose husband Dan Osborne appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year, is allegedly thinking about making her reality TV debut, according to the Daily Star.
A source revealed: 'Jacqueline will not be appearing in on Celebrity X Factor. She did have initial meetings about the possibility but it was decided that things wouldn't be taken any further.
'As a result she had also sat down with ITV about the prospect of going on I'm A Celeb. As ever, line-ups aren't locked in until closer the time but it is looking more than likely she will be heading Down Under.'
The Sun claims Nadine Coyle will be heading down under as TV bosses are keen to hear about the Girls Aloud feud.

After confessing that he'd happily do a stint in the jungle, it appears that Roman Kemp could be getting his dream come true, as he is pipped to be in this year's line up.
The radio host is said to have caught producers eyes, as the son of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and Wham! star Shirley has a plethora of showbiz pals.
Back in 2017, Roman told Digital Spy: 'The only reality show I would do is I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! purely because I would get a holiday and get to see Ant & Dec every day!'
ANDREW WHYMENT: The final rumoured name began floating around on Sunday, with the Coronation Street Kirk Sutherland star's name being thrown into the ring
'I do think I would be pretty decent in the jungle as I'm stupid enough to take on disgusting and dangerous things.'
Another well connected star tipped for the jungle is rugby player James Haskell.
The former England player, who is married to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan's daughter Chloe, retired in May, so would have time to jet down under before Christmas.
A source told The Sun: 'Being a top-class sportsman means he'll be full of stories of the dressing room and what goes on behind closed doors.
'They also hope he'll shed light on having Richard and Judy as his in-laws — and his friendship with Prince Harry.'
Look out for it: ITV have revealed that the new series will begin sometime in November, although an official date is yet to be confirmed
The final rumoured name began floating around on Sunday, with Coronation Street's Andrew Whyment being thrown into the ring.
The 38-year-old actor is best known for playing Kirk Sutherland on the ITV soap and could be travelling to Australia in three weeks time.
Andrew looks set to become the 11th Corrie actor to enter the jungle.
