The 42-year-old, from Scotland, has earned thousands of pounds by confidently flaunting her natural curves.
However, she’s noticed men are becoming increasingly critical of fuller figure bodies amid the new skinny trend.
Popular celebrities have inspired ordinary people to try jabs such as Wegovy in the hopes of losing weight fast.
The NHS is currently only offering the treatment to patients who are obese and meet their criteria.

"I think the weight loss jab has had a negative effect on the sex industry as a whole as it seems to make girls - who already look amazing and that already go to the gym daily - feel like they need to use this to lose even more weight,” Cherry told .
“It leads to unrealistic expectations from women as a whole.
“And I think the rise in the weight loss jab has led some men to have very unrealistic expectations from women in general.”
Cherry said throughout her modelling career it’s been tempting to compare herself to thinner women who’ve achieved their figure through surgery or the gym.

Focusing on the aspects of herself that she appreciates keeps her from altering her appearance.
She’s learned to ignore negative remarks but worries younger women who get into the industry may not have the same mindset.

She said they could become “dependent” on weight loss jabs with the belief that it will help them reach a wider audience.
She warned that they need to consider how it will impact their lives in the future.
Cherry has racked up a legion of subscribers and almost 60,000 followers, without cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance.
"Some will love the 'weight loss' or fake look and others want the real look so there’s a massive audience out there for everyone, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy it,” she said.
The NHS 12-step plan to help you lose weight
FROM faddy diets to dodgy detoxes - most of us have heard it all before when it comes to weight loss.
But burning fat can be easy and mostly free.
In fact, the NHS has a whole load of medically-approved tips for weight loss and shedding body fat once and for all...
- Don't skip breakfast
Skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight. You could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry. - Eat regular meals
Eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate. It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar. - Eat plenty of fruit and veg
Fruit and veg are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – 3 essential ingredients for successful weight loss. They also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals. - Get more active
Being active is key to losing weight and keeping it off. As well as providing lots of health benefits, exercise can help burn off the excess calories you cannot lose through diet alone. - Drink lots of water
People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need. - Eat high fibre foods
Foods containing lots of fibre can help keep you feeling full, which is perfect for losing weight. Fibre is only found in food from plants, such as fruit and veg, oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice and pasta, and beans, peas and lentils. - Read food labels
Knowing how to read food labels can help you choose healthier options. Use the calorie information to work out how a particular food fits into your daily calorie allowance on the weight loss plan. - Use a smaller plate
Using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions. By using smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. - Don't ban foods
Do not ban any foods from your weight loss plan, especially the ones you like. Banning foods will only make you crave them more. There's no reason you cannot enjoy the occasional treat as long as you stay within your daily calorie allowance. - Don't stock junk food
To avoid temptation, do not stock junk food – such as chocolate, biscuits, crisps and sweet fizzy drinks – at home. Instead, opt for healthy snacks, such as fruit, unsalted rice cakes, oat cakes, unsalted or unsweetened popcorn, and fruit juice. - Cut down on alcohol
A standard glass of wine can contain as many calories as a piece of chocolate. Over time, drinking too much can easily contribute to weight gain. - Plan your meals
Try to plan your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the week, making sure you stick to your calorie allowance. You may find it helpful to make a weekly shopping list.
Cherry previously revealed her fans have helped her to embrace her “wee wobbly belly and a cellulite-covered bum.”
She said everyone has stress marks and flaws, anyone who doesn’t like her body doesn’t have to look.
"For some reason, a lot of men seem to like looking at that real person as they can relate to me being a real person. I’m not fake nor a robot,” she added.
