A transgender woman has beaten the bullies after spending £25K on surgery to become a beauty pageant queen. Gorgeous Venus Brum, 32, who is a dead ringer for Nicole Scherzinger, has hundreds of admirers and a string of titles to her name – including Miss Birmingham 2010 and Miss Bristol 2013. Born a boy named Petronio, over the last three years, she has spent a whopping £25K on surgery and treatments to perfect her glamorous look, including 34DD breast implants and bum fillers. Now the makeup artist, who poses a stark resemblance to former X Factor judge and Pussycat Doll singer Nicole Scherzinger, is hoping to inspire other transgender women to embrace who they are.
