Speaking about her daughter, she said: "She knows when to stop it if a line gets crossed but she also knows that she does have to explain as well. Some people don't know.
"Farida said when she was walking into the house that she wants to learn things, she wants to teach her own faith and culture."
She continued: "She's handled it so well. She's coming out just being herself and it's lovely for the whole world to know the real Hallie that I know.
"She's very grown-up. She's had to grow up fast. I had to bring her up fast to comply with the world that she's going to be brought up in because of being trans."

Fans had debated Farida's questions to Hallie in the house last night.
One wrote: "Farida shouldn't even need to ask those questions. It's like she's indirectly saying Hallie is a man if she asked if a man would be gay if they were with Hallie."
However, others defended the Wolverhampton make-up artist, saying: "Farida to me was being curious, trying to get to know Hallie and educate herself."
The tweets came in after Hallie told the housemates: "When she said to me: 'Oh, if a man was to be with you would that make them gay?' I said: 'No because that would be them calling me a man. I'm a woman. They're not gay if they like me.'

"She was all confused. Usually that's when I'm like: 'You need to chill out, babe."
Farida later went over to explain why she was curious.
Hallie reassured her: "It didn't come out with any malice or nothing."
