Lexi Lowe: I never planned on it. I was working on a fixed-term contract for the police and hoped to apply to become an officer during their next recruitment drive. Then the recession kicked in and they put all recruitment on hold and didn't renew my contract.
I applied to literally hundreds of jobs after that with no luck – nobody was hiring. I managed to get a job as a temp working at the Home Office but I hated it with a passion, so I auditioned for Stringfellows on a total whim and got a job there as a dancer. It was while I was working there I was approached by a tabloid photographer and it sort of escalated from there.
Kaz B: I had done some modelling in the past and really enjoyed it. Then one night I was invited to a party – a huge networking event for porn stars in Soho. There I got chatting to the producers, and really hit it off with a porn star called Faye Rampton. I got pretty carried away and ended up posing for the cameras on her lap and having a little kiss and a play. Then later as we continued our fun in the ladies' loos a producer peeped his head round the door laughing and shot some footage. I was told that I was a natural and had my hands stuffed with business cards.
I was in a sensible job at the time working for the BBC, but I wasn't happy. After much deliberation I decided to make a go of it and was contracted to one of the big TV babe channels, and it grew from there.
Tanya Tate: I was working in an office close to my hometown of Liverpool, and was looking for something more exciting in my life. I was watching an adult movie with a friend and decided I wanted to do it. I had some photographs taken, researched the UK market, and sent them my pictures. They liked me, invited me to shoot in London, and here I am now living in LA.
