From the outside, it looks like Ally Mae is living the dream.
Since quitting her £8.50-an-hour checkout job at Morrisons, the model is making around £10,000 a month on adult subscription site OnlyFans.
She sells sexy pictures on the platform, which has allowed her to buy a three-bedroom house and a fancy car.
But the 22-year-old, from Blackpool, says there is a downside to being in the limelight.
Heartbreakingly, the trolling and abuse she attracts due to her job can make her life “hellish”.
Not only is she pursued by creepy men, she’s also insulted by strangers and has even been pelted with eggs in public.
Ally said: "I've had people throw things at me in the street and abuse me.
"That has happened quite a few times over the years.
"People have tried to hurt me in the street and they also shout names about my career.
"I've had people stalk me and say they are going to find out where I live.
"Others have told me they are going to go to my old school and tell everyone about me."
Abuse reached boiling point last year, when one of Ally’s former classmates recognised her and threw eggs at her.
She said: “I find it hard. I think I went home and cried after the egg incident. But I just try and tell myself it's just silly stuff.
"It's expected in this kind of job, because it's still so taboo.
"People love to gossip about it, but it's really horrible and shouldn't be accepted."
As the hate she receives has become so severe, Ally worries about leaving her house.
She said: ”I’ve had loads of confidence issues around leaving the house.
"I've cried not wanting to go out, but knowing that I've had to.
"I try and pull myself together – but it's definitely been hard.
"I'm really close to my family and they help me through the hellish times."

Ally hopes sharing her story will show others that selling raunchy pictures online can come at a cost.
She's blocked stalkers on OnlyFans for demanding her address and says the trolling on social media can be non-stop.
As well as this, the work is harder than you may think as it requires 24/7 attention.
The model said: "People think it's so easy, and don't want to accept it's actual work.
"Most people finish work around 5pm or 6pm and they're wanting to chat and buy content from then until early hours of the morning like 3am.”
Ally added: "It's not just a nine to five job – particularly when you're starting out you have to put so much work in.
"Even on my days off I'm still replying to people all day and scheduling content in for them."
As she continues to grow her successful career, Ally plans to raise awareness of the impact of women working in the modern adult industry.
And she’s determined not to let trolls hold her back!
