After making her dramatic entrance, the bubbly model was greeted by several of the housemates before Fitzy stepped forward to introduce himself.
Within seconds of greeting 'Maria', Fitzy was suspicious about her true gender, telling fellow housemate Trevor Butler: 'She's a bloke, she's a bloke!'
After Miriam was called to the diary room, housemate Wesley Dening asked, 'Is it Maria or Mario?' Fitzy then replied: 'I'll give you the hot tip...'

Later on, Fitzy's suspicions became a heated topic of discussion in the house.
Housemate Merlin Luck called him out, saying he didn't feel comfortable with the accusation being made.
Fitzy responded: 'I'm just being honest, Merlin, totally honest. I don't want to be the one looking like a d**k if I don't... what do you want me to do, keep it quiet?'

Later in the episode, Fitzy had a conversation with housemate Paul Dyer, who also weighed in on the debate about whether 'Maria' was male or female.
'It's gonna to be embarrassing for me if you're right. And if I'm right, it's gonna to be shocking for you, 'cause she's a good looking woman!' Paul said.
Despite Paul's doubts, Fitzy's suspicions turned out to be correct.
Eventually, Miriam revealed her true name and gender, saying: 'I wasn't born as a woman, I was born as a man.'
