We catch up with 51-year-old single mum June Egerton who wanted to change her career.
She's held a life-long ambition to work as a holiday rep but until now has never had the self-belief to turn that dream into a reality.
Her mentor, transgender radio DJ, Stephanie Hirst has been helping her to find her confidence to grab that perfect job - and Kelly Hoppen is even lending a hand!

Now! First of all Lorraine won our Special Award for Excellence here: http://media.transgenderzone.com go check out why she won.
Lorraine and her team really are very smart, and there is no finer example of that than giving Stephanie Hirst a chance to present a segment for her show rather than be the subject of a segment. This is really great! First of all Stephanie's years as a popular and fun radio presenter just pour out here. She really was impressive, confident, and took control of the report. Bubbly, warm, and took care of the woman she was assisting with her own confidence issues.
I hope Lorraine and ITV will offer her more opportunities as Stephanie could no doubt hold down comparing a show or being a captain of a TV panel show, host's side kick (on a dating show?) or similar.
She is just a big personality, and this was the first time I have seen Stephanie in a Television mode. I don't think she was trying too hard she just has that 'Gok Wan Thing' going on. Where they make their charges the most special person in the room! Love the accent reminds me of the 'This Morning' Eva and Nik Speakman phobia experts. Separated at birth
Great stuff! And what a great choice.
One to watch! Keep it up Stephanie.
Watch Now!
