Lily Phillips explains whether she's ever been in love as she speaks candidly about relationships
For better or worse, Lily Phillips has established herself as a well-known name in the UK after a number of sexual stunts which have made her one of the biggest earners on OnlyFans.
The 24-year-old from Derbyshire has been at the forefront of a huge amount of controversy, after she filmed a video in which she slept with 100 men in just one day, something which she might argue to be empowering while others consider it incredibly degrading to women everywhere.
She has since linked up with Bonnie Blue, another huge name in the UK's porn industry, although her mental health was questioned when a film was released focusing on her 100 men in one day experience, which showed her breaking down in tears.
However, it seems as if she has no plans to end her current career, despite her parents' plea for her to stop in a recent BBC documentary alongside Stacey Dooley.

"We've known for years she's done OnlyFans, and I thought it was just posing in swimwear and lingerie," Lily's dad Lindsay said. "I thought that was it. I really did."
Her mother Emma added: "When she announced that she was doing OnlyFans, we stood back because we want to continue our relationship with our daughter.
"We were pretty open with it you know, it's what she does...but when it went to the next step, we were like 'no, no.'"
Lindsay added: "If there is anything that we could do that would change her profession, we'd do it overnight. It is the 'degradingness' of it...and it's just making sure also that she's safe."
But it seems as if their attitude changed after another controversial video from Lily, for once featuring no sexual content, saw her buy her parent's love back in the form of their dream car, a £190,000 Porsche Cayenne SUV.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the content creator said: "Buying my parents a Porsche was definitely a career highlight.
"Anyone who thinks my dad cares more about money than my wellbeing doesn't know a thing about my family."
She was also asked about relationships, as it's understandably difficult to find love in this line of work, especially when you have become so recognisable thanks to some rather over-the-top stunts.
Lily added: "I don't know if I've ever been in love. I've only ever had the one boyfriend.
"Most people can't handle what I do for a living. It's hard to build something real when your job is the exact thing most boyfriends wouldn't accept."
Despite some relationship struggles, it seems as if she has no plans to stop anytime soon, as she is currently planning a 'Schoolies' tour with Australian creator Annie Knight, where they will presumably film content with more teenagers fresh out of school.
