Skins star Megan Prescott turned to OnlyFans during pandemic

Megan Prescott has opened up about how she turned to OnlyFans and stripped naked after making her mark on the cult hit Channel 4 Skins as a teenager.

The actress, 30, explained how turning to the X-rated photo-sharing site has helped her make ends meet during the coronavirus pandemic.

Before joining OnlyFans, Megan worked in strip clubs, but admitted that she feared being recognized and worried it would affect her getting a job in the theater world.

Megan, who played Katie Fitch in the UK teenage comedy drama, was encouraged to make a hot page on the site due to her Skins fan following.

Megan told The Sun, “I thought I might as well give it a try and it turned out really well. I only do what I’m comfortable with and log in when I want because it gives you that. asks a lot.

She explained that it’s not as “emotionally draining” as working as a stripper because the hours are more regular and you don’t have to negotiate the prices.

On the flip side, Megan has stated that people in real life are “much nicer”, whereas she has incel (unintentionally bachelors) followers who correct “horrible things.”

Megan said she ignores them and uses the material to fuel her writing, while acknowledging that she is “privileged” in the sex industry due to her television background.

The movie star was introduced to striptease at the age of 22, two years after her appearance in Skins, by her friend Heaven, who co-hosts the Strippers In The Attic podcast.

Megan, who said the on-screen undressing had already broken down barriers during the audition for the club, said: “Before my first audition at the strip club, I sat in a pub and I had two glasses of tequila I don’t really drink, but I felt it was necessary because I was a little nervous.

“But once you dance naked your nerves go very quickly and then it gets pretty funny – society makes it sound like a shame, but it really isn’t.”

Megan admitted that she “easily” made more money in clubs – including Bianca Gascoigne’s Gaslight Of St James’s – than she did in her advertising job and found it more stimulating.

However, she was concerned that her new work would be on display and said: “I was terrified that something would come out, but at the time I didn’t have a lot of acting work and I didn’t have a lot of acting work. had no agent. “

Megan – who also competed as a bodybuilder – said she had kept her job hidden for years due to the “stigma” surrounding the sex industry, which she said could “have ruined her career. “.

She said that on occasion, people recognized her, including a “drunk” girl who promised Megan that she would remain silent about her identity.

Megan revealed that she now thought the judgment was “ridiculous” because times have changed and women shouldn’t be tried for being naked.

“It’s ridiculous, this is not the Middle Ages, we are surely past the time to judge women for showing their cleavage and being naked is normal.”

Since appearing on Skins, Megan has played roles in Silent Witness, Holby City and several short films and her own plays.

She said she had experienced “elitism” in some roles because she had not received formal training to play the role.

Last year, Megan’s twin sister Kathryn was left in critical condition after being hit by a cement truck while crossing a road in New York City.

The Londoner was rushed to hospital following the horror crash, her sister Megan revealed on Instagram at the time of the crash.

The actress, known for playing Emily Fitch in Skins and Carter Stevens in Finding Carter, was in an intensive care unit at a New York City hospital and was reportedly “incredibly lucky to be alive.”

Megan broke news of the shock on her social media and said her twin had a broken pelvis, legs, foot and hand.

Her family reported that Kathryn was “out of danger” shortly after the crash, but the actress has not posted on her social media since the incident.
