An ex-escort who has allegedly had sex with one million men has quit sex work to become a charity volunteer.

32-year-old Kat Lee was just 18 years old when she began the escorting trade after engaging in an adult photo-shoot together with her twin sister.

Kat has garnered a large clientele base during her 14 years of working in the adult industry.

However, Kat—who is from south Manchester—has decided to call it quits on her ‘illustrious’ career as an escort and has started working as a barmaid, equally volunteering for various charities, according to a report by Manchester Evening News.

"I worked (as an escort) from when I was 18 until I was in my 30s, I must have seen over a million clients,” said Kat.

“I was a teenager when I got into it. It started because of a photoshoot where I and my twin sister were asked to take off our tops and knickers for an adult magazine.

“Later, the photographer said we would be good in adult movies, being twins, and that led to escorting.”

Escorts services are quite easy to find in the UK. There are Stratford Escorts and many other escort services available irrespective of your location.

Nonetheless, while reflecting on her time as an escort, Kat noted the sudden change in her finances after quitting escorting was a bit depressing at first.

“I’m now working as a barmaid and volunteering for various charities because I love to help people,” she said. “It is weird because you’re working seven hours and you think ‘Oh my God, I could have worked one hour for £140 instead of many hours work at £7.’

“When you serve behind the bar and people say ‘have one for yourself’ you’re only allowed to take 20p off them whereas, when I was an escort, they would buy me cars and holidays, not give me 20p tips.

“I grew up in Sunderland and we were racially abused in school because my dad is Arabic, but the bullies later booked me as an escort, so I had the last laugh.

"My clientele was mainly regulars in Manchester, people in the north-west and businessmen stopping over at Manchester Airport."

Kat described how her typical working day was like, often starting very early in the morning where she has to see her clients before they head off to work.

“A typical day would start at 9am but I was never off the clock. People want mornings because they want to release themselves before they go to work,” explained Kat in the report.

“You just don’t know when you’re going to be busy, but it’s usually dinnertime and after work at about 6pm, as well as Sundays at 3am.”

She also noted that she had to deal with a lot of people with different needs and had to classify them into two groups she created.

“I would put my clientele into two types. Some who wanted companionship, conversation and for me to be like a girlfriend - and others who would pull your hair and spit on you,” she said.

"So, I tended not to wear much makeup because you keep having to put more on, and I tied my hair up in a bun. I would spend about an hour getting ready and showered a lot throughout the day."

However, the job wasn’t exactly risk-free as Kat noted that she experienced just one scary situation all through her 14 years as an escort.

“I’ve only been in one dangerous situation on the job - when a client spiked my drink and took the money back after I was paid. I thought I was going to die. I couldn’t breathe or anything. I had a driver to get me to jobs and I wouldn’t have got home without him,” she said.

Despite not facing a lot of trouble during her time as an escort, Kate noted that she still feels a lot safer now in her new job.

“I never caught diseases from clients, but I feel a lot safer in my bar job with CCTV. I used to see four to five clients a day. You do get idiot clients who come in drunk.”

Kat’s time as an escort was spent in luxury as she recounted her ordeals with her various clients.

“One would see me when his wife had gone shopping. Another spoilt me with an Audi convertible and trips to Milan and Paris. I felt like Julia Roberts.”

Just like most escorts, Kat worked for an escorting agency and ventured on her own after sometime, as she couldn’t keep up with fines.

“I never worked from home and always picked a hotel to meet the clients at. I worked at an agency for a bit, but I didn’t have any power over whether I wanted to take a job or not.”

“If I turned down a client, the agency would fine me £50, so I started to find my own clients. It meant I would be waiting in hotel bars for my next job and I would drink to gain confidence before seeing a client.”

“That led to public disorder offences and ending up in the hospital to have my stomach pumped.”

“I found the work lonely as other women doing it would dislike me because men booked me more than them."

Kat isn’t completely off the adult industry as she still works over webcam, however, she is quite unsure about returning to her previous career as an escort.

“I still perform on webcam and stay in touch with regulars, but I’m not sure if I will ever return to escorting,” she noted. “It was something that I got into and didn’t mean to. I carried on working and then it became a habit.”

She also stated that her popularity as an escort makes it very difficult to get a great job.

“You can’t really get a different job because you’re on Google and you already have the attention,” said Kat. “I now spend all my time working and volunteering. My boss is fully aware of my past job and is fine with it.”

Kat is now an anti-prostitution advocate, though she recognises that a lot of people go into it as a means of survival.

“I think a ban on prostitution would be a good thing. Some people turn to prostitution for drugs or a place to live.”

“There’s no jobs or houses so they turn to prostitution to find money to leave home. There are better ways to live.”
