Former Air Hostess Who Moaned About ‘Exhausting’ Job Quits To Become Porn Star

Laura Birbeck, 27, worked as a stewardess for two years before becoming a porn star for a Babestation-style TV channel called Studio 6.

We've all had days where the thought about jacking everything in to travel the world has crossed our mind, unless you live in the UK on this glorious day.

But one woman has taken things a step in the opposite direction.

Laura Birbeck, from Worcester, West Mids, was already travelling the world as an air-hostess for British Airways, posting snaps on social media of her adventures. Jealous?

Apparently you shouldn't be because Laura quit after moaning about 'exhaustion'.

And she didn't leave her globe-trotting career for a less stressful office-based position. Oh no, she swapped her conservative uniform to gallivant around in lingerie.

She started doing shifts as a Bebestation style webcam porn star for a TV channel called Studio 66.

And it seems this isn't the first time either because it's been claimed that Laura used to take her webcam and laptop to work with her.

According to an old colleague, after Laura checked in to hotels she would begin to perform for people over the internet.

It seems all is true because Laura took to Twitter telling her 3,000 followers: "Haha wow! Who sold the story? This is jokes but all true."

Later adding: "Honestly, cabin crew life was amazing and such beautiful people work for the airline.

"Just some people aren't suited for the job and yes I was so tired and kept getting ill.. but now I'm happy in the industry I love and spending more time with family and friends"

She performs under the name 'Laura Laine' doing live strip shows where viewers can call in and speak to her.

Laura was part of BA's mixed fleet for around a year but she was with the airline for two years and graduated as full member of air crew last June.

She was based at Heathrow Airport in London, working on both long and short-haul flights.

However she found the constant travelling too tiring and it was making her 'ill'. So, in February she made her debut on Studio 66 TV, whose studios are in Chiswick, west London.

A friend of the ex-stewardess, who now lives in West London, said: "She's very open with what she does and she loves the attention.

"She is always posting about it on her social media accounts so it's not much of a secret.

"She had a boob job about two years ago and that when she started doing 'shoots', I saw her at a friend's wedding and she started telling us all about it.

"She always refers to herself as a sex worker."

Laura also strips for another website called MyFreeCams.com where girls film themselves at home and can earn money for their performances via tips or 'virtual tokens'.

LADbible have approached the cam girl and she said: "It's all a little mad. This is my industry and I love it and the girls are amazing.

"Also no one really knows I've just done their mag @Sixty6Mag and it comes out tomorrow and that was a huge thing for me to be part of.

"I will tell you it's not a transition. I've been in this industry for seven years now."

A former colleague of Laura's at BA told MailOnline: "I'm not surprised that she's gone into this line of work because it's what she's always been interested in doing.

"We were working together last year and she told me that she took a web camera and laptop with her on every flight.

"When she got to her hotel room after work she'd connect the camera up to the laptop and start to perform. She'd do it whenever she had some free time wherever she was in the world.

"But good luck to her, being an air stewardess isn't for everyone and it can be quite exhausting work.

"If she has found something that she likes doing and she can make it work for her than fair play I say."

Laura recently updated her 11.6k Instagram followers on her story saying: "Hey! So yes I am aware this is a story.. not really news though really is it. A lot of important news actually happening.

"Someone def got paid.. thanks BA crew, but no negativity my side. I know you just wanted to get that money.

"Thanks for the lovely support from my friends and family as usual. Beautiful people.

"Ps. My mom thinks this is brilliant and is sending it to all her friends"

Just before her Studio 66 debut, she tweeted: "When I was just a webcam model I felt so stress free, just working on my own pace and living comfortably.

"As an air hostess I have no time to myself and it's financially draining.

"I am so done with this! Back to being a full time model I think."

And last month, having made her big breakthrough, she tweeted: "I feel very lucky I have the best and most open minded family and friends.

"They have shown me true support. And I am so blessed to have that.

"Many girls have to keep their lives a secret or feel ashamed that they have this job. Stigma is still an issue in #sexwork."

A spokesperson for BA said 'the individual does not work for British Airways', and refused to comment any further.
