Former Playboy model living in £60 tent reveals truth behind living with Hugh Hefner in his mansion

The former Playboy model living in a £60 tent has revealed the truth behind living with Hugh Hefner in his mansion.

Yeah, quite the 180 in lifestyle. Louise Glover is a glamour model who met the magazine publisher back in the early noughties when she was 21.

The now 41-year-old worked in the classic lad mags like FHM and Loaded before Hef had her go on to appear on the cover of Playboy Vixens.

And in 2006, the beauty pageant star became the first British model to earn the title of ‘Model of the Year’ in Playboy Special Editions.

But things took a turn for Glover earlier this year when she resorted to having to pitch up in a tent, making it her temporary home for over a month now.

And while she struggles with rising rent prices amid trying to build up her own businesses, it all seems like a far cry from the days in Hef’s mansion.

Described as the ‘British Carmen Electra’ by the multi-millionaire, she’d stay at the notorious Playboy home between jetting about to parties and photoshoots.

She described living there as ‘the best time’ and ‘like another world’.

“I didn’t even think about it that much at the time, but I was hanging out with the biggest names in the world,” Glover told The Sun. “I loved all the other Playboy models, we were like a family. I really liked Hugh, he was a total gentleman.”

The glamour model, who recently had presenting gigs at the horse racing, described the mansion as ‘incredible’, pointing out the place even had a ‘zoo’.

“Everything was pink and had the Playboy Bunny logo on it,” she added.

“We had these wild parties. I once got my body painted and we all danced around Snoop Dogg as he performed on stage at the house.”

Glover eventually ended up going into fitness and lifestyle and travelled to Dubai last year to launch her personal training classes alongside doing promo work for Formula One and rugby.

But she struggled to build a solid client base so came back to the UK.

Now working on a dog walking business alongside personal training, she got into a ‘pickle’ when her Windsor landlord hiked the monthly room price up to £750 from £550.

“I have two hot water bottles to sleep with at night,” she explained. “I make sure I am on a campsite so I am safe and I also have my car. My luck will change soon.”
