Bruce Jenner sex change
Bruce Jenner to reveal his transition into a woman during an interview with Diane Sawyer Getty Images

Olympic champion Bruce Jenner will reportedly announce his transition into a woman during his highly-anticipated interview with ABC's 20/20 host Diane Sawyer.

The 65-year-old has never responded to the transgender rumours, despite the fact his image appears to have grown increasingly feminine, claims he has had breast implant surgery and photos emerging of him allegedly wearing a dress.

However, he is expected to finally explain all about his "journey" in his two-hour special with Sawyer, which is set to air tomorrow (24 April).

If Jenner has decided to live his life as a woman, he will no doubt have an abundance of support from the transgender celebrities who have "come out" before him.

IBTimes UK takes a look at the most famous transgender celebrities...

Isis King

The fashion designer became the first transgender model to appear on America's Next Top Model in 2011. Opening up about her transition, King once said: "Mentally [and] everything else, [I] was born female," adding that she prefers the phrase: "born in the wrong body".

Jenna Talackova

The Canadian model was famously disqualified from Miss Universe Canada in 2012 when it emerged she was transgender. Despite the setback, Talackova has enjoyed success since and has a reality show on E! titled Brave New Girls.

Lana Wachowski

The Wachowski Brothers are famous for their box office hit movies such as The Matrix trilogy, but in 2012, they hit headlines for very different reasons when the eldest sibling, formerly known as Larry, made her first appearance as a woman after years of rumours.

It is believed Lana completed her gender reassignment in 2008 after wrapping up work on Speed Racer.

Carmen Carrera

The former burlesque dancer rose to fame starring in RuPaul's Drag Race, after which she began her transition. Carrera is now an AIDS activist and reality TV star.

Andreja Pejic

The Australian model had been described as "androgynous" given her ability to model as both a man and a woman. In 2012, Pejic walked the runway for both genders at Paris Fashion Week and has scored a multi-page spread in US Vogue.

If at the beginning of my career in the modelling industry or half way through it or even this time last year you told me that I would end up having a 4 page feature in AMERICAN VOGUE I would have probably told you 'oh I dunno about that! That might be a bit difficult to achieve in the near future.' In fact I was told by various people many times over that the chances of me ending up on these pages were slim to none. So you can only imagine what I'm feeling right now! Thank you #AnnaWintour, #TonneGoodman, #PatrickDemarchelier and #HelenaSuric for making history and having me be part of it but even more importantly for representing a whole social minority and an often forgotten community of women in such an important publication and opening doors for the rest of the fashion industry to do so! Thank you to my agency @thesocietynyc for being the most supportive agency in the world and pulling off the amazing come back! ?
