Nicole said: 'When the police told me Lee was a she I just couldn't believe it. I was in shock. I've been through hell. The thought of how Lee deceived me and my whole family has given me nightmares and made me feel sick.'
Nicole described her relationship with Brooks who used modified a wooden toilet roll holder in their sexual relationship. She told the Sunday People she was uncomfortable being naked in front of a partner while Brooks claimed he felt the same way after suffering testicular cancer.
