Keeley Hazell Says She Was 'Too Young' and Ashamed of Page 3 Topless Shoots

Her new account cites money pressures alongside harm from a sex tape sold by an ex.

Overview

  • Hazell says every topless shoot left her deeply embarrassed and filled with shame.
  • She began at 17 after winning The Sun’s 2004 Page 3 search, which launched her glamour career.
  • She publicly called the work empowering to preserve a male fan base despite privately feeling mortified.
  • Payments were sometimes as low as £250 per shoot, which she still describes as life‑changing at the time.
  • She says a sex tape sold by a former boyfriend 'tipped the scales,' with her last Sun appearance in 2009 as UK tabloids later ended topless features.
