The Mexican model, Miriam Rivera, the star of 2004 dating show There’s Something About Miriam, which revealed she was transgender at the end of the series died in February, but the news has only just emerged. She was 38, according to the Daily Mail.
Her Sky One series caused controversy at the time, with the male contestants winning compensation after saying the programme had “a devastating effect”.
She went on to appear in Big Brother Australia later that year.
Her husband Daniel Cuervo told the Daily Mail she was found dead, but that she was cremated before an autopsy could be carried out. He said he had received a death threat while organising her funeral.
