She said: “I’d love to be successful but I do not know where it is going to go.

“I have tried a few agencies but they all want me to go topless and it is not something I want to do.”

The former pupil of Haberdashers Askes School for Girls, New Cross, said: “I think so many women want to get into the glamour industry as I think they see it as an easy way of earning money as opposed to say working in an office.

“Also it comes with the whole glamorous lifestyle of dating footballers, going to expensive clubs and so on.

“I thought I might as well try and get into it to try and make the most of what I've got.”
