Former Big Brother star Laura Carter revealed how she plummeted from making $52,000 a day to claiming government benefits
Laura appeared on Big Brother in 2016 and became known for her romance with Marco Pierre White Jr. Marco had an engagement to Kim Melville-Smith when he entered the house. Laura later moved into glamour modeling and appeared on the cover of Playboy. She also moved to Los Angeles and lived with a close friend.
Laura said she once earned almost $52,000 in a single day from some jobs. She later became pregnant with her son Jaxon and moved back to the UK alone. “When I had Jaxon, I had nothing, I had spent all my money,” she said on the RESET the Pod podcast. She also said she no longer had a relationship with Jaxon’s father.
Laura remembered sitting down in her flat and wondering how she would afford it. She was advised to seek benefits from the government. She initially felt too proud to seek help. She eventually went to a benefits office and explained her situation.
Laura explained that the meeting was a wake-up call for her to do a reset in her life. She also claimed that she was “cancelled from everything” after her reality TV show. She admitted that she earned little money after Big Brother. Laura later turned to OnlyFans, which she said: “saved her life.”
Laura also spoke about her controversial stint on Big Brother. She said she still regrets her romance with Marco and called it something she must live with “for the rest of my life.” Marco had claimed Kim gave him a “hall pass,” but Kim later said they were not in an open relationship. Laura also criticized the former Channel 5 show for airing her intimate moments on television.
