The interview saw Lottie detail her years feeling traumatized after being body-shamed as a young model, before she later walked away from the industry and went on to a successful career on X-rated subscription site OnlyFans.

During the interview, he explained: “Since rehab, I have been on a journey of self-discovery. I have spent a lot of time in Bali, surrounded by nature, reading alone or spending time with like-minded people, and learning to love myself again while I finally free myself from my previous life.

‘That’s why I decided to tattoo my face; the word ‘lover’ under my eye. Yes, it was impulsive, but after years of being so controlled, it was my way of expressing that I am free. I am no longer controlled.

She said: ‘I wish I could tell him that it’s okay to be yourself. It saddens me that she thought she had to be someone else. I just started to be my true self, and I love her. It’s such a relief to finally be my true self. I wish I had noticed earlier.
