Megan Barton Hanson wants to empower sex workers.
The Love Island star is a massive hit on racy subscription site OnlyFans and years ago she worked as a stripper.
And she wants to use her fame to help break down the stigma around sex work.
She told Daily Star Sunday: “Girls who have only ever worked in the sex industry are slut shamed, so I think it’s really important that they have someone to look up to. I want to empower them.
“They can see that I do what I do even when I don’t really need to.

“It’s a common misconception that people in this industry aren’t academically smart and it’s their only option. That’s not always the case.
“Working in this industry is a really strong and empowering thing to do.”
Megan loves doing sexy photoshoots to post on her OnlyFans page.
The star enjoys being in control of what outfits she wears and what poses she does.

And she is earning big money from scores of fans signing up.
But Megan thinks working in the sex industry has had a negative impact on her TV career.
Last month, she said: “I feel like I haven’t been put forward for certain things because I have OnlyFans. Some channels are very weird about it. But I wouldn’t change anything. I am very stubborn.

“People have an old fashioned view about OnlyFans. It’s so weird to me because you’ll see the Kardashians posting the same sort of content that you get on OnlyFans.
“People like sexy women, but not when they’re making money from it and taking control of it. It’s very backwards.
“Hopefully people are going to realise it’s not always as seedy as people make out.”
