A BRIT TV star known for her role on teen drama Skins looks completely different 16 years after finding fame.
The E4 beauty has also traded in her acting day job for a lucrative career on subscriber site OnlyFans – confessing the account and her side-hustle stripping career “saved” her during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Megan Prescott, 34, became a household name when she joined the third instalment of the gritty Bristol-based drama back in 2009.
She played Katie Fitch, whose character was older twin to Emily, and who worked for her mum’s wedding business.
Megan last appeared on the Channel 4 show – famed for its wild storylines about partying, drugs, sexual exploration and alcohol abuse – back in 2010.
After Skins, the London-born star previously told how she was left frustrated by the acting industry because of the “elitism” she experienced, having not been classically trained.
She landed parts in Silent Witness, Holby City and several short films, alongside working on her own plays.
Speaking as a guest on Strippers In The Attic, she claimed to have been turned down for an advert because she didn’t go to acting school.
Megan also participated in three bodybuilding competitions, qualifying for an international championship yet her cash earner is now on the OnlyFans screen.
She looks completely different from her red-headed character, who donned thick eye make-up and plentiful jewellery.
Megan has instead opted to embrace her natural brunette locks, styling them in loose waves for a glam look on social media.
She has also experimented with chunky blonde highlights to freshen up her look.
OPENING UP
After the global pandemic crippled the arts industry and shut bars and clubs, Megan told how she turned to OnlyFans to help pay the bills.
She previously told The Sun: “If it wasn’t for OnlyFans I wouldn’t have been able to survive the last two years without working seven days a week in menial jobs.
“I started my page in April 2020 when the pandemic hit as I didn’t get furloughed for a while.
“I had zero money and was told by a friend who has worked as a stripper for years that people were guaranteed to subscribe because they had watched me in Skins.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
“I thought I may as well try and it went very well. I only do what I’m comfortable with and log on when I want to because it takes a lot out of you.
“It’s not as emotionally draining as it was working at a strip club because you don’t have to become nocturnal, bargain with people over prices and people are shockingly polite.
“They are much kinder than people are in real life. On Instagram, I have some incel (involuntary celibate) ‘friends’ who write horrendous things just to provoke a reaction.
“It’s really fun to ignore them because you know they are desperate for attention and I’ve been using it to inform my writing.
“I’m in a much more privileged position than some others in the sex industry but for me, it takes away the stress of paying bills and allows me to have the energy to be creative.”
Recently, she told how she was fully stripping off on OF to fund her Edinburgh Fringe Festival show last year.
