‘I’m earning more in one day than I used to in a month after being fired from TOWIE’, says Kelsey Stratford

Kelsey Stratford has revealed that she earning far more money now than she ever did when she starred on TOWIE after becoming an OnlyFans star.

The reality star spent two years as a carer before launching a page on the X-rated subscription site, which sees many of its members uploading sexy snaps and videos.

Kelsey, 24, said told the Sun that she worried about what people would think if she joined the website but she was persuaded by a management company. 

The TV personality, who worked as a carer for her disabled sister before signing up, left the UK behind and moved to Dubai where she shoots content. 

Revealing that the decision paid off financially almost immediately, she said: ‘On the first night I made much more than what I would earn in the whole month from my job, So I was like, yeah, this is crazy.’

She thinks a lot of people who follow her are fans of the show, saying: ‘I would say a lot of them are Towie fans. Because a lot of them message and they’re like, “Is this actually you, Kelsey? Am I talking to Kelsey from Towie?” And stuff like that.

Kelsey previously admitted she had her world tipped upside down after she was axed from the show via a Zoom call in 2021.

Overnight she went from a TV actress to her sister’s carer and she revealed to the Sun that though she loved being a carer to her sibling, she couldn’t help but wonder why everything changed.

Now, Kelsey, who used to earn up to £300-a-day to film is cashing in more money than ever as she has joined OnlyFans as a creator.

She said: ‘Obviously, I loved looking after my little sister, but I just thought “Why has this happened?”.

Kelsey speculated that her departure was likely triggered by the lac of drama that she was bringing to the show.

A representative for TOWIE said: ‘Cast are contracted per series on TOWIE. The wellbeing of all current and past cast is of the upmost importance to us. 

‘All current and departing TOWIE cast are offered access to our robust welfare and psychological support if required.’ 

Kelsey was axed from TOWIE in 2021 alongside nine other cast members after joining the show in 2019.

At the time, TOWIE bosses were accused of acting ‘irresponsibly’ after cruelly axing the 10 young cast members ‘without warning’.

The devastated group, including Kelsey, were sacked ahead of the start of the 29th series in hastily arranged meetings in August, which many wrongly believed were storyline consultations.

MailOnline revealed the brutal cull left the cast ‘distraught’ after they were sold a dream by TV bosses and are now facing financial hardship in incredibly tough economic times. 

A talent management source told MailOnline: ‘It has been a challenging two years for most people financially, this was their career and TOWIE effectively sacked a bunch of youngsters from their jobs and for what reason?

‘There was no problem with anyone on the show, they could have given them another six months or the chance to look for other opportunities, but to just fire them all overnight was irresponsible.

‘The cast believed they were meeting producers for a catch-up ahead of filming resuming in August, so everyone was ready and excited with their updates – but without warning they were booted off the show.’

Kelsey’s confession comes after she hit out at Popworld in Southend after her disabled sister, Kennedy, 12, was refused entry to a disco because she can’t sit or stand up.  

Kennedy was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 at just a few weeks old and is paralysed from the neck down, and is unable to speak or swallow properly. 

She slammed the venue for turning away Kennedy after being let into the Little Ravers event. 

The reality star said her sister, who was thoroughly enjoying the disco, has been ‘hurt’ by the whole experience and could overhear staff telling her carers she had to leave.

‘My sister battles every single day with a cruel illness that has taken her ability to move but not her beautiful mind,’ the former reality star told The Sun. 

‘She was so excited to finally feel included at a kids rave, only to be unfairly thrown out because she couldn’t sit up, she faces unimaginable struggles every day, yet this was a moment she truly looked forward to, something that could have brought her joy.

‘Now, she feels even more left out and hurt in a life that has already given her so much pain. How is that fair?’ 

Kelsey’s stepfather Paul also hit out at Popworld on social media. He wrote: ‘So yesterday my beautiful princess Kennedy had a ticket to Little Ravers xmas party @ Popworld Southend.

‘Kennedy had been looking forward to this for a year as she loves both a rave and party.

‘They let Kennedy in and all was OK, only for them to come up to us stating unless Kennedy can sit up she will have to leave, had to take a breath before realising they were throwing out a little girl, who was already dancing and singing, out because she couldn’t sit or stand!

‘To make it worse, the Deputy Manager, said she can’t do anything about it, Kennedy can’t be in there due to the risk.

‘Remember Kennedy is hearing all this, cognitively she is not disabled, as they demand she leaves like she is a threat to the public and other children! Disgusting behaviour from the individuals involved!!’
