Page 3 icon Rhian Sugden has slammed critics of the site OnlyFans, insisting that sharing topless snaps does not make her a porn star.
The former glamour model, 33, took to her official Twitter account on Wednesday to defend the X-rated subscription site, which allows users to create private profiles and share pictures and videos, many of which are often sexual content.
OnlyFans users often have a hefty subscription fee in place which fans must pay in order to see explicit snaps of their favourite stars.
Taking to Twitter, the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Rhian penned: “A lot of people have a lot of opinions about OnlyFans but hardly know anything about it.
“People need to remember, for the last 13 years I have been a page 3 girl and appeared in all the UK lads mags – topless.

“My boobs do not offend me. They have been the biggest part of my career for a long time.
“A career that was taken away from all the ‘glamour girls’ back in 2015 when all the lads mags folded.”
She continued: “OnlyFans is essentially a platform where you share whatever it is you like.
“There are personal trainers on there, dog lovers, bloggers.. glamour girls and yes, porn stars.

“I have control over what content I want to upload.
“I’ve also met some genuinely great people on there too, but most of all I’m able to carry on the job that I have loved doing for the past decade.”
Rhian, who is married to former Coronation Street actor Oliver Mellor, went to admit she is “not ashamed of her bare naked chest forever being all over the internet”.
She concluded: “I’m proud to have been the longest standing page 3 girl and I am very grateful to have built up a fan base that has followed me throughout those years.
“Don’t just assume that everyone on OnlyFans is doing porn. I’m doing something i’ve done most of my life, people need to stop being so surprised by this.”

Rhian recently shared an update with fans on her IVF journey, which has been put on ‘hold” due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The reality TV babe has been open with fans about her fertility struggles and previous failed rounds of IVF, most recently just before Christmas.
The model took to her Twitter to share the update, writing: “Our fertility clinic has closed due to #COVID19 so we are currently on hold until further notice. Good things come to those who wait right?”
Rhian and husband Oliver, 39, were left heartbroken after her IVF treatment failed for a second time in December.
