A couple quit their jobs as ambulance workers and started a joint OnlyFans after being told their 'bums looked good' in their NHS uniforms.
The couple, Kayley Winterson, 26, and Emily Rose, 28, are now cashing in and making quadruple their £11 per hour wage working for the ambulance service, reports MyLondon.
The pair, who have been an item for seven years, were suffering from burn out due to working 12 to 15 hour shifts on the NHS front line so they decided on a career change.
Kayley was first to take the plunge and created an OnlyFans page in March 2021 after leaving her job in January 2021. Emily then joined her in January 2023 and they say they are a "million times happier" posting the saucy snaps online.
Kayley, said: "One of the final straws for me is when I was working throughout lockdown and I spoke to people that would earn more than me working at a coffee shop. I was on £11-an-hour driving around during the height of the pandemic, going through really traumatic experiences and getting nothing back.
"In a way I think I manifested this happening for us. Everyone used to say I had a good bum in my uniform so I'd joke and say that if for any reason this went tits up I would do an OnlyFans. No one ever believed me as I wasn't that type of girl, but here I am."
She added: "Working in the ambulance service was terrible for our mental health. It's a minimum 12 hour shift most of the time and it was so busy. Sometimes I'd be assigned a call at the start of my shift at 6am, but then by the end of my shift at 6pm I still hadn't gotten round to going.
"I ended up feeling so bad thinking about leaving someone there so I'd just go anyway, but then a 12-hour shift turned into a 15-hour shift. It was emotionally and physically draining."
Emily said: "I started a 12-week training course [in the ambulance service] in spring 2020 then was on the road with Kayley by the second wave later that year. The job is so intense that even though we lived together, we would sometimes go six days without spending any time together. We tried to pick up shifts together but that was very rare."
Initially after she quit the ambulance service, Kayley began working at a Covid testing centre but after she started the OnlyFans page she realised that she made more money in the first 20 minutes than she would have made the entire day.
She then quit that job too and pursued OnlyFans full time to build her following.
Emily's mental health had started to decline due to pressure at work, and she too decided to quit the ambulance service and join Kayley on their OnlyFans in January 2023.
Emily said: "There were times when I was going out on a long night shift and I'd get videos from Kayley in the bath at home eating chocolate strawberries and pouring champagne over herself.
"I'd had some pretty traumatic experiences at work. The job started to destroy my mental health and my perception of the world. I felt like I was dedicating my life to something and getting absolutely nothing back.
"I wanted to spend more time with Kayley. I wanted to spend Christmases with her and actually be able to have a somewhat normal life. Things took a turn for the worst and I was having anxiety breakdowns. I just couldn't face the possibility of going to work anymore. So, in January this year I left and joined Kayley."
The couple say they are now happier than ever and making sometimes quadruple the amount on Only Fans in a month than they would have done in the ambulance service.
The couple describe their content as "what we were doing before anyway, but just setting up a camera with good lighting".
They say their mental health is now "a million times" better and they "take pride of their work".
Kayley said: "We're bringing in more than I could have ever imagined whilst working in the NHS.
"People are generally very supportive. Everyone we've spoken to understands that we weren't happy before and this enables us to be happy and spend time together. I will say though, Only Fans is still hard work - it's not a get rich quick scheme.
"People don't realise that it's mostly understanding the market, promoting yourself and asking yourself what is going to make people watch me rather than free porn. We take pride in our work in the same way we took pride in our work whilst working in the NHS.
"Our mental health is 100 times better. We almost don't live in reality anymore. We get up when we want, sleep when we want and barely know what day of the week it is. I think the NHS work culture is only going to get worse in the next couple of years. Staff are being paid the bare minimum and are being grinded down to a pulp.
"But because everyone who works in the NHS is so good natured, you feel awful if you don't do it because you know there are people out there suffering if you don't. At the end of the day, there has to be a point where enough is enough. We're glad we made the switch, have never looked back and are excited to see where we can go from here."
