Caprice told how she found it ‘thoroughly entertaining’ that people believed she had a sex change at the start of her career, and said:
‘The newspapers would say I was a man, literally, and that I had a sex change. I thought it was a joke but they said the craziest things about me. Don’t always believe the rumours until you hear it from the horse’s mouth.’
She continued: ‘Everyone thinks (my name) was fake, that I made it up and they were trying to find out my real name.. My name is real.

‘It was from an old Doris Day movie called Caprice. My mom said if I ever had a Daughter I will call her Caprice. And then I popped out.’
Elsewhere during the chat, Caprice discussed her bad experience with Fred Durst, who she revealed offered her a first class plane ticket to New York in order to join him for lunch.
Detailing how they first met, she said: ‘I did the MTV Music Awards and I met Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit.

‘We were both flirting and Fred didn’t want me to leave. He then told me he wanted to buy me a first class plane ticket to New York and take me for lunch.
‘I initially said ‘What, are you joking?’ Then eventually I gave in and said ‘ok why not… in retrospect what an idiotic move just for lunch! That is crazy but ok..’. At lunch there were paps packed everywhere.’
‘We were only there for 20 minutes, he got a call from the studio and he had to go! I asked him if he was serious and he said we can meet up later for a drink, ‘Are you joking I have just shlepped all this way’.
Revealing that she ditched his offer for another meeting, Caprice said: ‘He then went out one way, I went out the other and I called up his assistant and I told him I am not meeting up with him later and he can take back his plane ticket.

‘His assistant called me back after and said ‘nobody flakes out on Fred’. Well, I said I just did.. bye! It was battle of the egos!’
Caprice also discussed whether or not she will be receiving the Covid-19 vaccination, after initially being completely against it.
She said: ‘I thought at first, there is no way I was going to get the vaccine. I thought, the cases will go down and then it will be fine but now with so many people having it, I probably would now get it’.
Caprice is married to husband Ty Comfort and they share sons Jett and Jax.
