1999-2024: Early life and career beginnings
Blue was born in 1999 [1] in Stapleford in Nottinghamshire [2] and grew up in nearby Draycott. She took part in the British street dance championships with her sister in 2015 and aborted a planned midwifery career during her A-levels after discovering that she was already earning the post's starting salary in Poundstretcher and as a dance teacher. She spent five years working as a finance recruiter for the National Health Service (NHS) before marrying her partner at a registry office in February 2022 and moving with him to Australia's Gold Coast. [8] Towards the end of her two years there, she was inspired to become a webcam model after seeing women of all descriptions on TikTok using the job as a side hustle; [8] within a week, she had made US$5,000. [9] After drifting apart from her husband, she became an escort and joined OnlyFans. [8] Within a month of the latter, she had made £8,000 from her subscriptions. [2]
Blue went to schoolies week with OnlyFans creators Leilani May and Kay Manuel in late 2023 with the intention of handing out business cards with QR codes to her OnlyFans account. After being branded a predator by a tabloid, she began recruiting men over the age of 18 to have sex with. [8] [10] Armed with a sign her mother had made saying "Bonk me and let me film it", [11] [8] she subsequently had sex with 122 students at spring break in Cancún in March 2024, at which she was joined by May, [12] [8] and 150 students at freshers' week in Derby and Nottingham in September 2024. [8] [13] A video filmed around the time of the latter outside Nottingham Trent University featuring Blue talking about having sex with lots of "barely legal 18-year-olds" went viral in December 2024 after being edited to feature the logo of online casino Stake.com and posted on Twitter by an account claiming to be affiliated with the company. Daniel Woolfson of The Daily Telegraph wrote that it was unclear whether Blue was involved in creating the adverts [14] [15] and anti-gambling campaigners wrote to the UK's culture secretary to request censorship of the advertisement for using sexual content to promote gambling to young people. [5] [14] [15]
On 23 October 2024, Blue appeared on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast. [16] During her episode, she discussed her niche of having sex with university students, claimed to have had sex with their lecturers and married men, blamed women neglecting their sex lives for men's demand for her, and recounted an occasion in which she had sex with a student and then his father. A clip of the last of these went viral and was subsequently deleted. Viewers accused Blue of misogyny, contributing towards sexual objectification of women, manipulating young men into performing sex on camera, and ignoring the long-term impact on such men. In interviews with The Tab and Cosmopolitan later that month, she stated that the criticism could be attributed to the podcast's female audience, that the backlash Barry received should have been directed at herself, that those complaining about the young age of her co-stars should instead lobby governments to increase the age of consent, and that her ex-husband still worked with her behind the scenes. [17] [9] The episode also went viral shortly before Barry was announced for the twenty-fourth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! . [16]
By early November, Blue had told the Daily Star that men came to her because they were unsatisfied by their spouses and The Kyle and Jackie O Show that unsatisfied men had the right to look elsewhere. [9] An attempt at filming at that year's schoolies week with Australian sex worker Annie Knight led to her tourist visa being cancelled [18] and a subsequent attempt at filming footage in Fiji led to both her and Knight being deported. [19] [20] [21] Later that month, Blue debated with reality television personality Ashley James on the ITV daytime show This Morning over the promotion of her content. [22]
2025-present: World record attempt
Blue attempted to break the world record for the most number of sexual partners in one day on 12 January 2025 [5] [17] and subsequently claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours. [4] [23] Pornographic film actress Lisa Sparxxx [ simple ] was reported as having set the record in 2004, having sex with 919 men in one day. [a] Blue's co-stars mostly wore balaclavas and included a man who brought his mother; her final co-star began by thanking the cameraman and crew and singing "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story . [25] Footage of men queuing and one man being forcibly removed from the event by his mother subsequently went viral. [24]
In February 2025, Blue denied that she was pregnant following speculation caused by her posting on Instagram a picture of noodles, pickles, and chocolate sauce next to the word "#cravings" followed by a series of photos of herself with the caption "It's giving milf vibes". [17] [26] [27] She briefly sponsored Cornwall amateur football club Calstock FC in April 2025, but was dropped as a sponsor shortly afterwards. [28]
Blue announced in June 2025 and later cancelled a "petting zoo" in which she would be naked and tied up inside a glass box with the intention of having sex with 2,000 men during the event. [29] [8] The idea drew criticism from fellow OnlyFans creators including Sophie Rain, [30] who described the stunt as turning OnlyFans into a "circus". [4] In response to the announcement, OnlyFans reportedly banned Blue from the platform for violating its rules against "extreme challenges". [29] [8] After the ban, Blue begin posting content to subscription-based OnlyFans alternative Fansly [ pl ] [31] [8] and announced a 24-hour live-stream. [32] She also appeared on Andrew Tate's Disruptors podcast in June. [8] In July 2025, Channel 4 broadcast the documentary 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which chronicled her world record attempt, move from OnlyFans, and preparation to fly to Romania to film Disruptors. [29] [33] The show was criticised for featuring footage of Blue having sex and for not adequately challenging Blue, with multiple firms withdrawing their adverts after broadcast. [34] Ofcom declined to investigate after receiving 160 complaints. [35]
Blue attempted to start a freshers' week tour in Dundee in September 2025, but had to move its launch to Glasgow following criticism from the University of Dundee's Feminist Society and multiple politicians including East Kilbride and Strathaven's MP Joani Reid. [36] [37] Blue's visit to Oxford was also criticised by a local councillor. [38] In a December 2025 opinion piece for The Spectator , she endorsed Nigel Farage and the tax and immigration policies of his party Reform UK. [39] [40] [41] That month, while visiting the Indonesian island of Bali, she and at least 17 other men were arrested on suspicion of producing pornography, for which she was banned from the country for ten years and fined Rp 200,000 (about £9) for traffic violations. [42] [43] Upon her return to London, she filmed footage of herself outside that city's embassy of Indonesia dragging an Indonesian flag behind her on the floor, prompting criticism from Indonesia's government.
