ITV has started to blacklist reality TV stars who have sold pornographic content on OnlyFans.
Bosses at the channel are said to be concerned about the rise of explicit subscription based sites amongst celebrities, with several ex Love Island and TOWIE stars among those with OnlyFans accounts.
Some producers are even calling it a deal-breaker in terms of casting for new shows, the Daily Star reports.
Several reality TV stars have turned to OnlyFans to sell sexy photos of themselves in their underwear and videos of themselves to earn extra money during the pandemic while TV work has dried up.
A source said: "ITV are now against talent with pay-per-view fans sites such as OnlyFans when looking at stars being involved in new shows.
"The decision isn't aligned to any one show in particular but across the board.
"It's thought that such explicit work isn't compatible with their audience."
The source added: "To be fair to ITV it's not just them.
"Channels in general are cracking down – it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it can be a deal-breaker for some producers."
The Mirror has contacted ITV and is awaiting comment.
Lauren Goodger regularly promotes her OnlyFans page on her Instagram account.
Megan Barton Hanson, Kerry Katona and Danielle Lloyd are also on the app.
Male reality TV stars like Stephen Bear and Katie Price's ex husband Kieran Hayler are also on there.
