When Emily Wallis tracked down the dad she had never met they had more in common than she expected… including their taste in shoes, dresses and make-up.

Instead of the “Italian Stallion” her mum Ann had described, Clive Harrison was a lipstick-wearing, bewigged transvestite who now calls himself Chloe, and has EIGHTY-TWO pairs of high- heeled shoes.

Emily, 22, says: “Chloe was squeezed into a silver dress and wearing make-up and a wig. I had no idea what to do so I said, ‘You look better than me… and I really like your shoes’.”

Emily adds: “For years I had dreamed of us all being reunited. I’d even secretly harboured a hope that Clive and Mum might get back together. But when I saw my dad I realised that certainly wasn’t going to happen!”

Emily was a teenager when her mum broke the devastating news that the man who had raised her was not her real ­father. From an early age Emily had a strange feeling that she did not fully belong as she grew up with an older sister and two big ­brothers. But she continued to see the man she thought was her father but wasn’t, even after her parents divorced when she was seven.

“My dad was always closer to my sister but he had no idea I wasn’t his daughter,” says Emily. “Unknown to him mum had been having an affair with Clive behind his back when she was in her 20s.

“Naturally we hadn’t bonded like a normal father and daughter as there wasn’t a biological link. When I was young I ­remember thinking I didn’t look like my sister. When I watched her play with my brothers I’d think, ‘Why aren’t I like them’?”

Yet it was not until Emily was 19 that her mother started telling her about an old boyfriend called Clive.

“She told me he was a tall, tanned, macho biker who she’d nicknamed The Italian Stallion. Then suddenly she blurted out, ‘He’s your real dad’.

“My jaw dropped but everything ­suddenly made sense. There were lots of tears and we stayed up until 5am talking about him. And I begged her to help me find him.” Ann, who lives in Hastings, East Sussex, told Emily that in fact she had bumped into Clive a year earlier in 2005 in his home town of Herne Bay in Kent. She also told him that he had a daughter.

But she begged him not to contact Emily until she was 21 so Clive flew back to Australia. Clive told Emily that he had been married to a beauty queen when he began the affair with Ann. But he had struggled with his ­sexuality for years, making himself on the outside the opposite of the person on the inside. Even as a five-year-old he had secretly dressed up in his mother’s clothes. Since then he had gone through three marriages, satisfying his secret desires by sneaking out after dark dressed as a woman.

By 2003 he had become so revolted by his male genitals that he had tried to perform a DIY sex change attempting to push his penis inside himself. Left in agony, he lost his libido and became completely celibate as he openly started dressing as a woman in the evening.

Clive renamed himself Chloe and felt free at last, splashing out on 82 pairs of shoes and 14 wigs. He is now waiting for a full sex change operation, hopefully next year.

Emily couldn’t be happier at being reunited with her biological father.

“I don’t see her as dad or another mum, she’s just Chloe and I’m grateful to have her in my life.

“I’m proud of her and will be at her hospital bedside when she has the full sex change operation. I even want Chloe to be the one to walk me down the aisle when I get married. I’ll be so proud she is there.”

Mum-of-one-Emily has yet to tell the man she thought was her father about Chloe. “I will have to tell him at some point that I’m not really his, but it’s not ­something you suddenly drop into conversation.

Ann, 47, says: “I’m sad that Clive is no longer around but I’m best friends with Chloe now.

In a weird and very unusual twist of medical fate, Rashida Khatoon, a young girl from northeast India cries tears of blood instead of water.

She and her unusual medical condition have been transformed into a holy shrine where worshipers come to watch in awe as blood drips from her eyelids several times a day.

Doctors in the region of Patna, northeast India, have no medical explanation as to the cause of this most unusual anomaly, but local Hindu holy men have declared Rashida a miracle. Followers bow in deference as they stand before her, showering her family with holy offerings.

“I do not feel any pain when it happens, but it’s a shock to see blood instead of water,” said Rashida of her most unusual situation.

What could be the cause of this weird occurrence? Some have suggested a brain tumor or malfunctioning of tear ducts, but there is no medical evidence to support that. No one in authority in fact, seems to know or will even venture a guess, which is even more disconcerting than to watch the phenomenon, which occurs every few hours.

Could Rashida be suffering from a case of a rare phenomenon known as Haemolacria? Little is known about this medical condition other than the fact that it occurs when a person produces tears, which are partially composed of blood. This can manifest as anything from red-tinged tears to those, which appear to be entirely blood.

Bleeding from the eyes is most certainly weird and creepy. It may be the result of a very rare medical condition, but whatever it is, it is not likely to be a gift of any sort from the holier powers that be. If you think about it, how could bleeding from the eyes be a gift except from a very creepy donor?

Lauren Williams is an exceptional medical phenomenon. The woman was born with two vaginas, and had her first televised interview with Tyra Banks, which airs today.

The 29-year-old woman says that everything she would experience with one vagina, she has with two. She reveals to Tyra, “I’ve got two uteruses. Just one to each (fallopian tube), then they go down to two cervixes, and then it did go down to the two vaginas.”

When asked if she endures two menstrual cycles, she responded with, “I think so because my periods generally last about 21 days…When I was a teenager I had really heavy periods…I would have to change pads every hour.”

Of course, Tyra had to ask about whether Lauren can have children, despite her unique condition. Doctors believe it is possible. She explains, “The doctor in England said pregnancy-wise, it should be okay…if I do get pregnant it should push the other uterus over to one side and keep it out of the way. Me and my partner would need to plan on using condoms just in case I got pregnant in the other one.”

Wow. Can you imagine that?! One is certainly enough, I can’t imagine having two!
