From the gritty scenes of the British youth drama Skins to the digital realm of OnlyFans, Megan Prescott's career path is anything but ordinary. Known for her role as Katie Fitch, Prescott has transitioned from traditional acting to embracing a more unconventional profession, shedding light on the realities of sex work and content creation.
Prescott joins a growing list of former teen stars finding new avenues on platforms like OnlyFans. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Jessie Cave, of Harry Potter fame, also ventured onto the platform to share unique content.
In a candid interview with TikTokker Bella Mia, Prescott shared insights into her life on OnlyFans. "Ironically, I actually get spoken to far nicer on OnlyFans than I have in a lot of my acting career, and definitely on social media," Prescott revealed.
“There’s nothing shameful about sex work. There’s nothing shameful about OnlyFans. But I didn’t have a huge amount of skin in the game. I put my money where my mouth is.”
Prescott's journey into OnlyFans wasn't just a career choice but a necessity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she turned to the platform after being denied furlough, leading to what she describes as a life-changing experience.
Despite criticisms of her past work environment, Prescott has embraced her new path without losing sight of her passion for acting. Alongside her OnlyFans commitment, she's made a splash with her debut play Really Good Exposure at Soho Theatre, showcasing her versatility and creative flair.
Prescott also hosts a podcast under the same name, continuing to explore themes from her own life and career. As she navigates the complexities of her dual roles in acting and content creation, Prescott stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of entertainment.
Prescott isn't alone in her reflections on the Skins experience. Fellow cast member Kaya Scodelario has been vocal about the lack of safeguarding and minimal pay during their time on the show. Despite these challenges, the cast remains grateful for the opportunity, even as they advocate for better conditions in the industry today.
