Adult star Riley Reid has spoken out about the unconventional way she tried to catch the attention of a celeb she fancied online.
Reid - whose real name is Ashley Mathews - has been in the adult industry since 2010 and is considered to be one of the highest earners on OnlyFans, having carved out an impressive career for herself.
Although, she did recently admit that she's not enjoying her work has much as she used to, and has even decided to stop shooting scenes with men altogether.
You'd think that someone as popular as Reid would be getting date offers left, right, and centre, but it turns out she tried her hand at reaching out to a crush of her own.

The 33-year-old revealed she had previously slid into the DMs of a celeb she really wanted to 'hook up with' using a pretty unorthodox method.
She appeared on the delightfully named Stiff Socks podcast and shared the weird and wonderful technique she used to try and get the attention of the rich and famous.
It turns out she was a big fan of firing up photoshop in order to help the celebs visualise what a, errr, fun time they could be having with her if they replied.
"That used to be my way of sliding into celebrities DMs, like I used to photoshop," Reid admitted.
"Dillon Francis, I wanted to hook up with him so bad years ago, so I would photoshop his face on different guys that I was like, in my porn scenes.
"I would just send it to him and be like 'thinking about you'.
"He was nice but we never hung out or anything."
Nowadays Reid is focusing on family life and said she has been taking time to decide who she is away from the adult industry.
She told the Shadow Banned podcast about the decisions she has been making while she figures out what she wants to do with her life.
"It's been really fun, it's definitely been a different identity process of me trying to figure out who this new version of myself is," she said.
"And so like I remember having my identity crisis when I was in porn, being like 'who am I?' and like 'what is this?'.
"And so now I'm trying to renavigate myself within, trying to parent as well as be like a business person and so that's been really interesting."
Reid has now set up a social media agency called the Ash Agency, and has set up her own clothing line called called 'Eighteen Plus'.
Reid had a hugely lucrative career, and at one point was estimated to be earning £19,00 ($25,000) every day.
She's rumoured to have a net worth of £15 million ($19 million).
