I’ve got 5 kids, I’m on OnlyFans and I don’t care what other mums think, says Danielle Lloyd
SHE earns her living stripping off for adult website OnlyFans but Danielle Lloyd does not care what the other mums at the school gates think of her.
The 38-year-old mother of five first shot to fame as a glamour model, and joined the X-rated website two years ago to provide for her family.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Danielle said: “I know I’ve had five kids but I feel sexier than ever.
“I’ve never felt so good about myself and I think that’s something that comes with age, and with confidence.
“Why shouldn’t I earn a good living doing what I’ve always done?
“I love what I do and it fits around my family life with the kids.

“I don’t pose topless any more — everything is implied, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
"I know there are probably some mums at the school who look at me and think, ‘Oh my God, you do that?’
“No one ever says anything negative towards me at school but I tend to keep myself to myself and stay in the car at pick-up and drop-off.
“But apart from my husband and kids I really don’t care what anyone thinks.

“I know it’s not going to last for ever, as everything comes to an end, so I’m taking advantage of it while I can.”
Danielle lives in Birmingham with her husband, personal trainer Michael O’Neill, their children Ronnie, four, and four-month-old Autumn Rose, and her three sons from her marriage to former Spurs footballer Jamie O’Hara — Archie, 11, Harry, ten, and eight-year-old George.
The Liverpool-born beauty, who once dated England star Teddy Sheringham, shot to fame in 2006 when she had her Miss Great Britain title stripped from her after posing naked for Playboy.
But former Wag Danielle went on to forge a successful career as a glamour model and reality TV personality.
She launched her OnlyFans account in 2020, with subscribers paying £7.50 a month to view her content, and is in the site’s top three per cent of earners.
OnlyFans launched in 2016 as a space predominantly for sex workers but the 2020 lockdown saw a surge in people using it.
Many celebs now charge fans a monthly fee to see their latest photos and videos.
‘I live a nice life and still really enjoy modelling’
Former Love Islander Megan Barton Hanson claims to have earned £800,000 in a single month from her page, while Kerry Katona says the site saved her from bankruptcy.
Danielle said: “I live a nice life. I fit my modelling work for OnlyFans around my kids. I can’t do it full-time like a lot of other girls on there — I just try to do it when I can.
“And I still really enjoy it. I think it’s taken over where the lads’ mags left off.
“I’d always done those magazines and now my pictures just go on to my own account.
“I’m very different in front of the camera. I get a lot more confident when I’m having my picture taken then I’ll just get back into my tracksuit bottoms and put my hair on top of my head.
“At the end of the day it’s just work. I’m getting money for my kids and their future and am just living a nice life.
“When OnlyFans started it was very sexual and there were a lot of porn stars on there but now there’s people doing all sorts, from fitness workouts to make-up tutorials.
“There’s people like Cardi B and Bella Thorne on there. One of Kim Kardashian’s best friends supposedly earns ten grand a day. I wish I could earn ten grand a day!
“I mean, why would you not do it if you can earn that kind of money?
“So many people post pictures on their Instagram for free — at least I’m getting paid for what I put up on my account.”
Danielle’s older boys have grown up surrounded by pictures of their glamorous mum.
She said: “They know it’s just my job. They’ve seen pictures of me their entire lives. In our old house I used to have them up everywhere.
“I try to be as open and honest with my kids as possible. I want them to be able to come to me and if they want to talk about relationships, mental health or whatever else is troubling them, then they can.
“I’m that mum that they can talk to and I’m always talking to them about anything and everything.
“I think if you’re not like that then that’s when kids can get into trouble because they can bottle stuff up.”
She added: “Of course it’s hard having five children, there’s a lot to juggle.
“It’s funny because people wrongly assume that I’ve got ten nannies.
“I’m really lucky, Michael is so amazing — he’s really hands-on, and as we know, not all blokes are like that.
“I’m a really laid-back person and don’t let things stress me out too much. I always joke that I’m so laid-back I’ll fall over. But I guess I’m just in a really good routine with my kids.
“I’ve always taught them to get themselves ready, so they get up in the morning, put on their clothes, they brush their teeth, and the older ones can get their own breakfast.
"They even help with the baby, which is so amazing.
‘I feel very lucky. This fits round my family’
“When we first brought her home they were so obsessed and wanted to hold her all the time.
"The novelty has worn off a little but they’ll help feed her and they all play with her. She’s such a happy baby.
“I’ll wake up in the morning and she’ll be there smiling at me. She’s so cute.
"I feel very lucky and blessed to still be doing what I’ve always done and it fits round my family life.”
After finding fame with her racy magazine poses, Danielle has gone on to appear on reality TV shows including Big Brother and Splash!, as well as The Weakest Link, Gladiators and Total Wipeout.
She added: “It’s been 15 years since I posed for Playboy. Yes, I was naked, but it was done in such a way that it wasn’t full-on nakedness.

"There are not many English models who have done it and I’d certainly do it again if they ever asked me.
“I may be approaching 40 but I’ve never felt this good.”
