A sex worker who featured in Channel 5 documentary series Adults Only has opened up about being fired from her day job after they discovered she was selling nudes on the side - and now works for a friend's company that can make £9 million in a single weekend.
Sophie Broomfield told the show that she was let go from her job as a care worker 18 months ago after they discovered her online pictures.
Sophie, who creates adult content in Hartlepool, told the show how she was fired without notice after her employer's human resources found her on Google.
"I was sacked. They didn't give me the choice. They didn't say: 'oh look, Sophie, stop what you're doing and you can stay here'," she said in the show.

"Cause I said 'if I stop what I'm doing can I stay and keep my job, because I love this job, I'm connected to the residents and the staff', d'you know what I mean," Sophie added.
"For them they say 'you're incompetent in doing that job because you show your f**** and your t*** out.' Hang on, excuse me, I've been doing it for four years.
"I did it privately, it had nothing to do with work and for them to sack me, it broke my heart, because I know the connection I had with those residents," she added.
The care sector's loss has evidently been the sex industry's game, however, and she has now gone to work with her friend Chelsea Ferguson, who rose from working as a McDonald's employee to launching a business 18 months ago that now has the ability to turnover £9 million in a single weekend.

Talking on the show alongside Sophie, Chelsea commented: "This is just an example of us, sex workers, because of what we do, they don't care."
Sophie agreed: "They don't see this side of sex workers.
"What's me, getting my boobs out on the internet that people pay for, going to affect me getting the medication out for the residents?

"I spent five years of my life with them. I spent 50 hours a week with these people, I know their routine, I know what medication they needed every morning. You can't be a carer for the money."
The success of Chelsea's business was highlighted in another episode of the series, with the company's co-founder, her cousin Becky Sharp, telling her the news on an office visit.
"Over the weekend we're gonna do 9 million quid," Chelsea was told.
"We're gonna do £9 million probably tomorrow or maybe Sunday," she concluded to an excited Chelsea.

The show, which has lifted the lid on sex workers in Britain, has received plaudits for its portrayal of a multi-million pound industry that's often dismissed due to the nature of its work.
