'I make thousands from racy gardening snaps - people pay me to sit on stinging nettles'

A keen gardener who loves spending time outside ditched her two waitressing jobs to rake in the cash selling steamy content on an adult streaming platform.

Green-fingered Ari, who used to work in a casino restaurant, says she's made £50,000 since setting up a channel on Fanvue - meeting very specific requests from her subscribers.

She said: "Literally any time the sun’s out you’ll find me in the garden. I love the outdoors and being close to mother nature.

"I do love to sunbathe but it can get a bit boring so I thought I'd start a new hobby for when the sun's out."

After turning her hand to gardening, Ari realised her fans enjoyed seeing her getting to work in the garden, pruning and priming her plants.

She says she started to receive more and more requests for gardening-related content and decided to give her fans what they wanted - carving out her own niche along the way.

As requests flooded in to see her gardening in the nude, she also began to benefit from having a picture-perfect garden.

"I’m loving growing herbs and edible flowers for gin and tonics," she said.

Her fans, who love her outdoor content, make regular requests of their favourite star - including asking her to sit on stinging nettles.

It can be a painful job for Ari, but the dedicated model doesn't let that get in the way.

"It doesn’t matter how many times I sit on them it still hurts so much. I have to go and dunk my booty in ice afterwards or I won’t be able to sit down for hours," she said.

The gardener added she considered stocking up on dock leaves to soothe the sting of the nettles, but she's unsure if the natural remedy is an old wives' tale.

Ari is always switched on and in work mode, looking for opportunities to film content at any point.

She said: "I’ve got tickets to Chelsea Flower Show this weekend as well, so I’m hoping to capture a few bits of cheeky content in between the peonies."

"Someone said to me I'm like the Charlie Dimmock of the creator world. I don't know who she is, but apparently, she had ample assets like me.

"The dream is to be able grow a bit deposit and buy a house with a massive garden for all my fruit and veg beds."
