Claire and Celeste don't have a traditional marriage
It’s certainly not the traditional marital arrangement.
But for Claire and Marcus Atkins, heading to nightclubs together on the lookout for men has become quite normal.
Claire, 41, was married to Marcus, 37, for six years when he announced that he wanted to live as a woman.
A former builder, Marcus sold his motorbike to pay for breast implants and changed her name to Celeste in 2013.

Initially Claire was worried that her husband was having an affair when he started to drink more and the couple’s sex life faltered.
But in December 2012, Marcus broke down and told his wife the truth.
Celeste recalled: “One night after a drink for courage I cried and blurted out what I wanted to say my whole life - that I was born in the wrong body and was a woman.”
The couple, who have three children, decided to continue living together and last December Marcus had gender reassignment surgery and takes female hormones.
