A former porn star has been found living homeless in tunnels under the Las Vegas Strip.

One of the world’s most successful porn stars is now homeless, and living in a nightmarish network of pitch-black tunnels beneath the glamorous Las Vegas Strip.

Jenni Lee, known by the screen name Stephanie Saddora, is still ranked the 119th best porn actress in the world.

But now the 37-year-old lives underground and says she won’t leave the caves.

The Sun reports that a Dutch film crew making a documentary about Las Vegas’ system of underground tunnels, built to protect the desert city from flash floods, discovered the once almost unrecognisable adult actress “camping” in the dank space.

She still has 45,000 subscribers and her last film was uploaded one year ago.

When asked by the documentary-maker if she was a porn actress she replies: “Yeah, I actually got very famous — maybe a little too famous.”

Lee was filmed wearing an oversized grey coat and with all the glamour of her porn persona gone.

She continued: “I should still be top 100 on some list somewhere,” rolling her eyes.

“I used to be so hot,” she giggles.

But Lee insists she’s happy living underground, “I have everything I need here” she says.

When asked if she thinks she could leave the tunnel network, home to hundreds of Las Vegas’ homeless, she replies: “Yeah I do, but why?”

She admits that the dark underground space is missing its home comforts like running water, but insists that the hardships build camaraderie.

The ex-actress claims that underground, people are “more accepting” and she feels like she has made more “genuine” friends.

The 300-kilometre-long labyrinth running beneath the city of sin is home to an estimated 300 people — many of whom suffer from drug addictions.

Those who live there set up tents within the tunnels — with inhabitants claiming the best place to “camp” is far away from tunnel exits — as police tend not to search so far in.

Some have even lived in the tunnels for years, fashioning themselves kitchen areas, lounges and bedrooms.

But it’s not an easy life — in a documentary about the tunnel’s inhabitants, one man claims a girl who lived there in February 2016 drowned when water flooded the tunnels.

Rain waters can fill them up with more than a foot of water per minute, washing away camps.

Matthew O’Brien, author of Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas told ABC News: “They can be very dangerous, said O’Brien. “A lot of (the dwellers) are really good about communicating with each other about when it’s about to rain, so they can just grab their valuables and get out, and leave everything else behind.”
