Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger has spoken exclusively about her decision to join the adult content platform OnlyFans, revealing she earns a staggering £30,000 per month and has no regrets about her career pivot.
From TOWIE to OnlyFans: A Lucrative Leap
Goodger, who joined the site five years ago, explained that her motivation was distinct from many other creators. Speaking at the launch of Olivia Attwood's ITV2 series Getting Filthy Rich, she stated that a decline in traditional photoshoot fees, particularly around the time of the Covid pandemic, prompted the move. "The money wasn't the same," she admitted, highlighting the financial practicality of her choice.
Despite initial trepidation—she was "terrified" and awake at 5.30am on her first day—she has built a successful model with a smaller, premium subscriber base. "I would rather that than thousands of people having access," Goodger said, noting her content primarily involves showing her breasts.
'I'm Still the Girl Next Door'
Goodger strongly refutes any suggestion that her OnlyFans work has changed her public persona. "I was - I still am - the girl next door," she insisted, describing herself as "quite a home girl." She argued that after a decade of appearing on magazine covers, often nude, the transition felt natural. "They all want me naked. So, what difference does it make? I might as well make money out of it!"
She keeps her content "quite tame" compared to some creators and praised others like Lilly Phillips, who reportedly earns £800,000 a month, for having the "guts" to go further. For Goodger, the platform is also a confidence booster. "It makes me feel sexy," she shared.
Financial Temptations and Firm Boundaries
The reality star disclosed significant financial offers she has received, including one for £150,000 for a single night, which she firmly turned down. "Never. Not being wrong, it's hard to turn down but I couldn't. I can't even sleep with a guy in real life," she told Olivia Attwood.
However, she does fulfil custom requests for fans, charging up to £6,500 for personalised content. While one friend urges her to "delete the pics," Goodger views it as a steady job. "You can't just.. delete it. One day I will - but I'm not ready to yet," she explained.
Lauren Goodger's journey on OnlyFans, which began on 18 January 2026, continues to be a significant and profitable part of her career, allowing her to maintain control and financial independence while staying true to the image her fans recognise.
