BRIGITTE Macron is planning to present proof she is a woman after losing a shock lawsuit in France over bizarre gender rumours.

The First Lady and her husband, President Emmanuel Macron , are now preparing to submit scientific and photographic evidence in a US defamation case against American right-wing influencer Candace Owens .

Owens, who has millions of followers, has repeatedly claimed Mrs Macron , 70, was born male.

In March she vowed to "wage [her entire professional reputation" on it - even alleging Brigitte is in fact her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, and that her first husband never existed.

The Macrons' lawyer, Tom Clare, said the couple are ready to fight back.

He told the BBC there will be "expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature."
