Former Dragon’s Den star Duncan Bannatyne has spoken strongly about the need for single-sex changing rooms at sports facilities.

Now he has vowed to take action to remove a non-binary option for people declaring their gender on the app for his own health and fitness clubs.

A new mobile phone app for users of the entrepreneur’s gyms, which are at more than 60 UK locations, have three options: male, female and non-binary.

The existence of the non-binary option was pointed out by women’s rights campaigners.

Mary Howden, a director of the Women’s Rights Network, highlighted the issue via X – formerly known as Twitter.
