Woman who was 'Britain's youngest transgender' star makes £10k a week on OnlyFans

A woman has told how she can make up to £10,000 a week as "Britain's biggest" international transgender adult film star.

Ria Cooper - a self-proclaimed surgery lover - is best known for becoming Britain's youngest transgender woman at the age of 15.

Born Brad, the Hull TV star is now making a lot more money as a porn star - which will fund her desire for more surgeries.

Ria says she struggled with her gender identity as a teenager and, having initially transitioned, went back to living as a gay man, before finding peace in her life as a woman.

She told HullLive : "When I was 18 I was really depressed and struggling to find work. It was horrible, it was the worst decision I've ever made. I put boys clothes on and I was like I can't do it."

Now, nine years later the 27-year-old woman is certain of who she wants to be, boasting more confidence than ever.

And that confidence has brought a switch in career - to shoot adult films with porn name T.S. Isabella and to show off her body on OnlyFans.

Ria says she has now left East Yorkshire to take up a £3,000-a-month London apartment, where she often shows off her body at the city's swanky sky pool, in between plane-hopping and visiting different countries.

Since moving to the capital in May, she says she has made approximately £120,000 in 12 weeks.

She made the leap after being approached by someone who said she could do well in the adult entertainment industry.

And now travels around the world to the likes of America and Berlin to shoot films, claiming to have become "Britain's biggest transgender star".

While away from the steamy set, she spends the majority of her time keeping up her appearance through the likes of luxury facials and cosmetic top ups, as well as going out for dinner and drinks in London "treated by older men".

Ria continues to be motivated to have more surgery done. She had previously run a beauty salon, which has since closed, but continues to run a lash company.

The model had come under public scrutiny after appear on This Morning with Eamon Holmes and Holly Willoughby.

She quashed the rumours that people thought she had her surgeries funded through the NHS.

Additionally she spoke about the criticism and depression which made her want to live as a gay man before her decision to re-transition and live as a woman again.

Ria said: "The thing is people think that I got my gender reassignment free on the NHS - I didn't. I pay for all my surgeries myself.

"With the money I make now I am able to get my next plastic surgery that I want. I have an upcoming boob job, I want a Brazilian butt lift, and also booked in to get my teeth done too.

"I'll pay for all of this myself. I make good money from porn but without that my OnlyFans does really well. I currently have a limited offer on my OnlyFans for the first month.
