BIG Brother star Chanelle Hayes has QUIT her job as a nurse after a year in the job to launch an OnlyFans page.
The former reality TV legend and mum-of-two, 37, felt she was under too much pressure to give her patients proper care and attention.
A source said: “After years of study and dedication, Chanelle has made the difficult decision to step away from her nursing career.
“Nursing was a path she pursued out of a genuine desire to care for others, but over time she found herself increasingly frustrated by the lack of time she could spend with patients.
“The emotional strain of not being able to give the level of care she wanted eventually became too much to bear.
“Chanelle received countless messages and requests from fans who have followed her since her modelling days. Many encouraged her to join OnlyFans, and after careful consideration, she decided to take that step.

“The platform allows her to be creative, connect directly with her supporters, and have greater control over her time and wellbeing.”
Chanelle, who wed accountant Dan Bingham in June 2024, shed eight stone after a gastric sleeve surgery in August 2020 and is keen to show off her figure on the OnlyFans platform.
Chanelle, who appeared on the Channel 4 reality series Big Brother in 2007, also struggled with the constraints put on her social media.
The source added: “Chanelle felt restrictions with her social media presence. Having built a public profile long before entering nursing, she was told throughout her training that she couldn’t post online in the same way as other nurses.
“She was constantly worried about her social media and what was acceptable.
“Chanelle made the choice to leave the profession in a way that allows her to be true to herself, protect her health, and embrace new opportunities.”
