Harry Potter star shocks fans as she reveals she’s launching an OnlyFans account

HARRY Potter actress Jessie Cave has revealed she’s earned more money from six months of creating risqué hair content on OnlyFans than she would’ve done for an appearance on I’m A Celebrity.

However, her new career has seen her banned from a convention.

The actress, 38, has told how she was interviewed for a place on the reality TV show three years ago when she was still her then-six-month-old baby.

Despite having reservations, Jessie needed the money and was prepared to leave her baby and jet off to for the programme.

However, she was ultimately not chosen for the final line-up by ITV bosses.

She wrote about her I’m A Celeb rejection and on her personal Substack.

The star said: “About three years ago I had a meeting about going on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! This was before my boyfriend was ‘cancelled’ and when I was doing better in my career, I guess.

“My fourth baby was about 6 months old and I remember on my way to the meeting thinking say you’ll be fine without the baby, that you can cope without the baby for a couple of weeks, say you can handle it, say you’ll do anything.

“But we needed the money and it could have been a big opportunity. If I’d have got offered it, I would have accepted.”

Jessie – who is best known for playing Lavender Brown in the film franchise – now sees the rejection as a “blessing” and has admitted that six months of creating niche hair content on has eclipsed what ITV were prepared to shell out for the star.

However, being associated with OnlyFans has also begun to hinder other work endeavours.

The actress confessed that she wasn’t booked to appear at a popular Harry Potter fan convention due to the subscription site being heavily “affiliated with porn”.

She revealed that organisers had declined to book her for the event under the guise she did not fit their “family friendly” image.

But with creating content has come a hardship for Jessie with the former actress confessing she has become obsessed with her statistics on the site.

She revealed she is often left contemplating her “self-worth” when she sees her number of subscribers on the 18+ site has gone down.

Jessie admitted it has been “exhausting” creating content and doing everything that does not include going “fully nude”.

But despite being able to make a living off the OnlyFans wage which has allowed her to move into a much bigger home and pay off several bills and debts, she revealed she would still be up for a trip to the jungle if ITV were to come knocking at her door.

Jessie first made headlines earlier this year when she revealed she had turned to OnlyFans amid ongoing money concerns.

She in a bid to claw back cash, including £8,000 to fix ‘death trap’ electrics in her house.
