Bonnie Blue's doomed marriage to childhood boyfriend who started her sex career
Viral adult star Bonnie Blue has opened up about her failed marriage for the first time in a new Channel 4 documentary that delves into her unusual life behind the scenes Away from extreme sex stunts and bragging about sleeping with married men on social media, Tia Billinger, the real woman behind the Bonnie Blue persona, has kept her love life largely under wraps. But now she has given a first glimpse into what life is really like behind the scenes of her lucrative porn empire - speaking for the first time about her failed marriage. Bonnie swapped her social media stunts for documentary cameras as she allowed Channel 4 producers complete access to her life for six months. Dark lonely life of Bonnie Blue from acid attack fears and seclusion to divorce 'I saw real Bonnie Blue behind closed doors - there's one dark truth people don't see' A new show, titled "1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story" sees the star sat at home surrounded by Pepsi Max cans, delivery boxes and her fluffy white Pomeranian as she completes wholesome puzzles and other crafts. It's world's away from the gritty sex challenges she films at work, including one event that saw her sleep with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. But it's clear that her lifestyle lacks the glitz and glamour you might expect from a 26-year-old millionaire - instead, she seems lonely and isolated and admits she can't leave the house alone and has full time security to protect her. Bonnie, a former NHS recruitment worker from Derbyshire, split up with her husband and childhood sweetheart Oliver Davidson as her career took off. Her closest friends now seem to be Josh, her live-in videographer, and a stylist named Hermes. She says in the show: "My sort of circles got smaller, but my team are also my best friends." It was actually Oliver, or Ollie as he's known to Tia, who encouraged her to move into sex work. "I met Ollie when I was like 14, 15," she explains in the show. "We got married really young. Pretty, quite intimate wedding, nothing crazy, nothing over the top. Then we relocated to Australia shortly afterwards." As Bonnie opens up on her relationship, viewers are shown never-before-seen photos of the couple. One shows a young, make-up Tia posing for a selfie with Ollie as she affectionately pulls him close and holds his face. Another pic shows the couple on their weddding day surrounded by family, with Bonnie dressed in a sparkly silver jumpsuit holding a white bouqet of roses and Ollie in a dapper dark suit. And a third selfie shows the pair smiling on a beach in Australia after the big move, with Bonnie's glitzy wedding and engagement rings on show. "Ollie was beyond supportive, he gave me the confidence to do OnlyFans," the star explains. "And it wasn't because he wanted to pimp me out, he just wanted me to be happy and have control of my life. And obviously the money was good as well." In the documentary, Ollie attends a porn awards ceremony with Bonnie in Vegas. Breaking his silence, he gushes about Bonnie's sex stunts and says he's proud of her. It's the first time he's spoken out about his ex's career, as he's stayed out of the spotlight until now. "She really connects with the fans. Most people, if they do porn, they seem out of reach. You're never going to meet them. You're never going to be able to film with them," he says. "Whereas Bonnie puts a location online, and then obviously her fans can actually film with her. It's like a defining moment in porn, where she's completely changed the game." And in a new interview today, Bonnie shared exactly why things didn't work between her and Ollie. She told the Daily Mail that they broke up some time before she moved back to the UK from Australia in 2024, and that Ollie returned before her. "We loved each other, but we weren't in love. So we separated, but we didn't make it official," she said. "Me doing what I've done recently had nothing to do with the relationship breakdown. But, of course, no one will believe me."

Family adventure in Queenstown: Teens take charge with thrills and spills
Zara diving into the AJ Hackett Nevis Bungy Jump. Photo / Rebecca Foreman So Zara and I jumped. And somewhere in the silence of falling, something shifted. Peace. Pride. Power. That quiet voice: You showed up, Mumma. Then came the Nevis Swing, Zara and Ollie whooping through a 300m arc of chaos, joy, and pure airborne madness. Starving, we answered Zara's next call: Queenstown's cult favourite, Fergburger. It's more than a meal – it's a pilgrimage. Best chicken burger of my life. James and the kids demolished Ferg Deluxes, onion rings, and fries. Full and giddy, we waddled to Minus 5° Ice Bar – yes, cold. Yes, a bit gimmicky. But yes, also very cool. A stop at Fergburger is a must in Queenstown. Photo / Supplied Day three, and Zara's final act as chief adventure officer? The Shotover Canyon Swing, a cliff-fling freefall with nothing but a rope and guts. James went with Zara, I tandem-jumped with Ollie. Terrifying. Humbling. Classic Zara. Why all the gravity-defying madness? 'Because growing up, I always followed yours and Dad's plans,' she said. 'This gave me a cool sense of leadership, even when I picked stuff no one else wanted to do. Like bungy jumping! I was so surprised you actually did it… and kinda looked like you enjoyed it. And seeing everyone love the restaurants I found? That meant a lot.' And just like that, she wasn't our little girl on a family holiday, she was the guide, the planner, the fearless one leading us into something unforgettable. Learning to snowboard at The Remarkables. Photo / Rebecca Foreman Ollie took the baton and ran with it, straight into researching how we could hit the slopes at both The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. Snowboarding? Absolutely. Why? 'It's rare we're all beginners at something together.' Enter: premium family private lessons at Coronet Peak, led by our snow whisperer, Ashlea. From the moment we met her, any shred of parental anxiety melted faster than a spring snowpack. Calm, confident, and laser-tuned, she made me feel safe in an activity I had zero control over. I've skied since I was a kid, but snowboarding? Whole new world. No poles. No sudden stops. Just subtle shifts in weight, flowing with the mountain instead of trying to conquer it. A premium family private Lesson with NZSki. Photo / Rebecca Foreman Ashlea, 30, from Sydney, had nine snow seasons under her belt, and it showed. By the end of day two, we were all riding the second beginner carpet. Strong legs, sore bums, proud hearts. It's easy to see why The Remarkables is hailed as a progression paradise terrain for every level, from daring chutes and off-piste blacks to wide-open, learner-friendly slopes and easy-to-access food and facilities right at the bottom of the beginner carpets. What truly surprised me wasn't how fast the kids picked it up (of course they did), but how we responded. Watching Ollie throw himself into every turn was electric. Zara moved with quiet confidence and calm. Meanwhile, James and I … fell. A lot. But the real win? Crashing through the mental blocks. Learning to fall. To laugh. To be slower than your kids, and okay with it. Hearing, 'You've got this, Mum!' and 'Nice try, Dad!' as we scrambled back up? Gold. Ashlea guided us effortlessly, navigating our different skill levels, fears, and learning styles as if she could read us like a trail map. By the final day, Ollie was confidently cruising blue runs, Zara was carving turns like a natural, and James and I were cheering from the chairlift, filming their achievements with hearts full and quietly proud that we'd also faced the fear and given it our all. The Queenstown Rendezvous Heritage Hotel. Photo / Supplied Later, gathered around the fire in our Rendezvous Heritage apartment, swapping slope stories, Ollie remarked how surprised he was that we'd thrown ourselves into something so unforgiving on ageing knees, wrists and nerves. Old dogs, new tricks indeed. And honestly? We'd do it all again. Strong backs. Stronger bums. Strongest memories. A teen-led Queenstown snow adventure, especially on those glorious slopes of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, is the ultimate way to witness growth, grit, and perspective shift in real time. Let them lead. Follow closely. Watch the magic unfold. The writer was a guest of NZSki, Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown, AJ Hackett Bungy NZ, Shotover Jet, Shotover Canyon Swing, Fergburger & Minus 5° Ice Bar.

My date was going well until my braces got stuck... down there
Ollie* made me light up like Blackpool illuminations. I was 21, at university, and hadn't had the best history with guys. I'd been out on dates but never really found that chemistry where I wanted to take it further. Ollie was different. He was on the same course as me and I had flirted with him for weeks. We had gone for drinks together in groups but we always found ourselves sitting near each other and bursting into laughter. My heart skipped a beat when he pulled me to one side after a night out and asked if I fancied going for a drink together. 'What now?', I replied. 'No, I want to do this properly', he laughed back. I floated and smiled all the way home in my boozy haze. A few nights later it was time for our date – I had tried every outfit I owned on to see what looked right, even though I saw him most days in lectures. X Factor icon Diana Vickers and Metro's dating expert Alice Giddings dive into your wildest sex, love, and dating dilemmas – every Tuesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. And be sure to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. You can also join the fun on our WhatsApp Group Chat here – share your dilemmas and Diana and Alice may just give you a call. I think I settled on some horrendous electric blue boots and what I thought was a very cool, edgy dress with a bold red face painted on it. If only my outfit was the worst bit of the date. We met at the student union and it couldn't have gone better. We were laughing together and bonding over snake bites and politics. We didn't want the night to end so wound up at Friday's cheesy dance night at the union. We kept away from everyone else and just spent time together having our first kiss on the dance floor. I remember having butterflies and feeling like I might burst with happiness. We left together and walked home holding hands and got some chips on the way. It felt natural to go back to his house – I had known him for ages. Oh how I wish I had waited. We had a drink with his housemates who all wanted to peer at me before we went into his room with red, freshly laundered, bedsheets. He actually knew how to work a washing machine! Another tick in my mind. This was going so well. Then the unthinkable happened – I still cringe and turn crimson when I think about it. I'm just going to come out with it: We had started being very intimate when his penis got stuck in my dental brace. My stupid glistening brand new braces my parents had bought me for my 21st birthday. He let out a blood curdling scream and his housemate raced in to see what had happened. There I was, still attached to his penis, feeling very vulnerable and absolutely mortified. I remember offering to go to A&E with him and he looked at me in horror His housemate phoned a friend doing medicine to ask what he should do – it was even worse listening to them on the phone discussing it. Though it was better than the option I had thought of, which was to phone my mum who was a nurse. I was petrified I had broken it for life. I wanted the ground to actually swallow me up. Instead his housemate, as gently as he could, detached his penis from my brace. The shame. It felt like there was blood spurting out everywhere all over the red sheets. I remember offering to go to A&E with him and he looked at me in horror. Instead Ollie went with his housemate. I probably should have left then but in my drunken state I fell asleep and had to sneak out the next morning before they were back. When I woke up after making it back into my own bed, the post-alcohol guilt started to come through. The flashbacks of what had happened. So, How Did It Go? is a weekly series that will make you cringe with second-hand embarrassment or ooze with jealousy as people share their worst and best date stories. Want to spill the beans about your own awkward encounter or love story? Contact I looked down to see the time and realised I had left my beloved Storm watch behind. It was so special to me. I had saved up for it when I was young and it meant enough to me that I couldn't just dismiss its loss as collateral damage from the night before. I had to work up the courage to call him to see how he was and to ask if I could pick up my watch. It wasn't surprising that he didn't answer. So I tried a text. My housemates were in fits of hysterics. I was met with a chorus of 'there is no way he is going to meet you to give you the watch back'. Well he did. I remember driving there with my stomach in knots. He was outside his place and handed it back to me. I asked if he fancied doing something again. He looked at me like I was a mass murderer and said no. More Trending After that, we never spoke again. I would see him around university and felt shame in the pit of my stomach every time I did. I couldn't stop myself, but I would also get the giggles – which really didn't help mend our relationship. *Names have been changed View More » This article was originally published April 6, 2024 MORE: I uncovered my husband's dirty secret while he was in a coma MORE: I'm 16 – my boss's question about my sex life disgusted me MORE: Our boss let us spend the day visiting porn sites in the name of research

Teen saves $1.3K on driving lessons by watching YouTube tips — and passes first time
A savvy teenager saved over $1,346 on driving lessons by watching YouTube tips — and passed first time. Ollie Bird, 17, ditched professional lessons after taking one which cost him $54 and started surfing the web for cheaper alternatives. He started watching YouTube tutorials posted by driving instructors and put the lessons into practice using a computer driving simulator. 5 Ollie Bird practices driving on a simulator in his home. Courtesy of Oliver Bird / SWNS After clocking up 30 hours of lessons which his original instructor had suggested he needed, he took his test on June 6 and was stunned when he passed first time. Ollie, from Scotby village in Cumbria, England ditched his L-plates just three weeks after his 17th birthday. 'I was hearing horror stories from my friends about all the money people were spending on driving lessons — I didn't want to be getting into all of that,' he said. 'The instructor estimated that I would need 25-30 hours of tuition, if not more if I failed the first time round. That's at least $1,600 which is a lot of money. 'I do a lot of things my own way, so I told my mum and dad that I wanted to research on YouTube instead of cramming in lessons. 'When examiner said I passed, I was shocked I also felt very lucky.' 5 Ollie Bird sits in the driver's seat of his car after passing his driver's test.

Courtesy of Oliver Bird / SWNS Ollie, who is a keen go kart rider, also aced his driving theory test the day after his birthday on May 16. In the two weeks before his test Ollie watched 30 hours of dedicated driving instructor YouTubers who he said 'taught him the ins and out of how to drive'. He also used his racing simulator computer game to practice steering, gears and braking. The teen added: 'I've took part in go-kart racing for a couple of months last year and I also have my simulator — they both helped. 5 Ollie, who is a keen go kart rider, also aced his driving theory test the day after his birthday on May 16. Courtesy of Oliver Bird / SWNS 'YouTube, along with all of the indirect driving experience, were definitely useful in my eventual success.' Ollie also went driving with his parents near his home to become familiar with road signs and perfecting parking and reversing. He said: 'The main thing that I learned from driving with my parents was not the theory of it and the strategy of driving well. 5 He also used his racing simulator computer game to practice steering, gears and braking. Courtesy of Oliver Bird / SWNS 'It was more of the gears, the car control, clutch control and handling an actual car and being on an actual road which became more natural. 'I wasn't going to go into it and just stress out and mess up — I had nothing to lose. 'The actual test was really enjoyable, me and the examiner had really good conversations about school and random stuff, it was quite relaxed. 'When the instructor ended the test and I found out I had passed I was shocked more than anything. 'It was also really satisfying as a couple of people including my parents as they didn't think I was going to. 'I felt very lucky after hearing how hard to process can be from friends and family. I'm super chuffed I passed and in the way I did was just great.'
