Ella Hughes claims she was a shy girl until she made the switch into adult entertainment.

Now the 22-year-old has more than 200,000 followers on social media and a newfound confidence.

As well as having sex on camera, Ella also strips on cam for punters and sells them dirty lingerie.

Her popularity even landed her a bit-part role on hit series Game of Thrones, playing a prostitute in season 6.

She revealed on BBC Three series Sex Map of Britain’s episode called A Career in Porn: “Before I got into upon I was a very shy girl, I didn’t even talk to someone on the phone.

“I hated the sound of my own voice and never thought I was pretty enough.

“I struggled a lot with weight issues. I never thought in a million years I would be capable of doing something like this.”

Ella added that her plans to finish a law degree have been put on hold while she enjoys her career.

But her career has brought trolls into her life, with hate mail branding her a w**** and a s**t.

One even told her that she is riddled with STIs.

Luckily, Ella has learned to ignore critics and people trying to insult her.

She added: “For me I almost kind of don’t care, because my love for my job kind of outweighs them, it conquers all.”
