Caitlyn Jenner entered 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' and it seems like she is trying to build an identity of her own while stepping away from the shadow of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'. The reality star did not seem hesitant to take on the tasks while she put forward a friendly display of attitude towards her fellow cast members. 

While sitting with the rest of the contestants, Jenner decided to spill some tea about her life. The reality star revealed that she was planning to undergo a transition 30 years ago. "I thought I was gonna transition before I was 40, I didn’t want to be an old chick but this is the latter '80s and I never felt like I fitted in anywhere, I was trying to figure myself out, running around town," she said, as reported by The Daily Mail

However, some of them did not understand what Jenner meant when she said "running around". Her fellow contestant, Andrew Maxwell then asked her what she meant by it. Jenner replied, "Crossdressing running around." Surprised by the answer Maxwell further asked, "So you’d crossdress in your car and drive around town?"

"Yeah, at the time. I had a turbo Porsche and it was like the day before Halloween and this car pulled up beside me and it’s my next-door neighbor, I said I was going to a Halloween party," she said.  James Haskell sympathized with Jenner as he said, "It’s interesting about wanting to express yourself and how hard it is in life wanting to express yourself, but having a thing where you can’t let it and that you have to drive around town."

He continued, "I think the biggest thing about your thing is all those people thinking about not being able to do it is the fact they should feel comfortable to do it however hard it is because 99 percent of the time it’ll work out alright."

Jenner responded saying, "All my life I struggled with all of those." However, things have changed since then for the reality star as she highlighted some of the memorable moments after her transition. This included getting her first driving license and letting people know about her transition openly.
