Strictly’s Nicola Adams risks the wrath of BBC bosses

Los Angeles: Strictly star Nicola Adams has risked the wrath of BBC bosses by revealing she plans to set up a racy OnlyFans account with her girlfriend.

The Olympic boxing champion, 37, asked her 162K Instagram followers for their thoughts about creating a profile with partner Ella Baig, 22, on the subscription-based site, which allows its users to make and sell their own adult content.

Nicola, who will compete in Strictly’s first ever same-sex couple this year, teased: ‘Ella doesn’t know… yet, what do you think about me and Ella doing some couples OnlyFans?’

Nicola’s girlfriend Ella, who lives with the boxer in Leeds, already has her own profile on the subscription service, which is famed for users sharing explicit pictures and videos. Ella sells nude images and sexual clips on her OnlyFans account with users paying £20 a month to get her exclusive content or £140 for the year.

Now Nicola is hoping to cash in by creating a profile with Ella, who she’s been in a relationship with since 2018.

Nicola was the first openly LGBT person to win a boxing Gold at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and did the same at Rio in 2016.

The athlete will perform on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing with a female professional dancer, marking the first same-sex pairing in the show’s history.

Strictly is following in the footsteps of ITV’s Dancing On Ice, which featured its first same-sex pairing this year when Ian ‘H’ Watkins and professional Matt Evers competed together.

After being confirmed for Strictly last week, Nicola said: ‘I think it’s really important, it’s a big step for the show. It’s nice to see that we’re able to move on.’
