British Olympics star's 'scary' new career 'sees me making more money than ever'
Former Team GB speed skater Elise Christie is earning more cash than ever before - by posting daring snaps online.
The 33-year-old started posting racy snaps on Onlyfans following her retirement in 2021, admitting "it was scary the first time", after a career which saw her land a host of titles, including three world crowns and 10 European crowns.
She also represented Great Britain at three Winter Olympics, suffering a nightmare time in Sochi in 2014, as she was disqualified THREE TIMES in three separate events - which led to vicious online abuse. Ironically, after colliding with South Korean rivals in one final, she went and trained in Korea in the build up to the 2018 competition in Pyeongchang.
She's super happy since she started sharing her photos on special websites where fans pay to see them.

"You’re in control of what you do and how far you want to go. It took me a while to get braver with the stuff I was doing and open up about it. It was scary the first time. Now I’m in a place where I’m not worried.
“It’s only the social media stuff I find a bit difficult. I’ve found taking a step away from social media is good for me.

Elise Christie said she is now happier than she has ever been before (elisechristielikescake/Instagram)“So I promote it but I’m not reading comments and thinking about what everybody is saying.
"And now I make more from OnlyFans than what I made when I was working three jobs.”
Team GB divers Jack Laugher and Matthew Dixon are also on OnlyFans, where some people share very personal pictures, but Christie's aren't that kind of daring.
Still, the ex-skater says she doesn't see this as a job for life. She said: "I don't see OnlyFans as a forever thing. But I can see it benefiting my future life. It's the first time in my life I've been truly happy."
