Love Island’s Shannon Singh returning to OnlyFans just four months after quitting – but for a surprising reason
SHANNON Singh has revealed she is returning to OnlyFans four months after quitting – in a bid to “break the stigma” around the site.
The Love Island star, 23, initially said she wouldn’t go back to sharing saucy content after appearing on the reality show, but has had a change of heart, saying it makes her feel empowered.
She has now launched her own #ilovemine campaign, which encourages women to take ownership over their bodies, but insists she won’t be sharing explicit content again.
Explaining her decision, she said: “I have always used the site for content and lifestyle because it is such a great subscription based platform for creators.
“Before I went into Love Island I made the decision to close my OnlyFans account because I was aware of the stigma around the site. I wanted people to get to know the real me instead of making judgements because of my OnlyFans account.
“When I was in the villa, a few people chose to exploit me, leaking very old content (unrelated to the site) of me as a teenager. I’ve spoken openly about my past and the poor decisions I made when I was younger when I was working in the glamour modelling industry”.
The Scottish stunner continued: “I’m aware that there is still a stigma around the site and I want to try and encourage people to stop shaming those creatives using the site, who are taking ownership over their content.

“I did say when I came off the show that I probably wouldn’t ever return to it but then I launched my #ilovemine campaign all about women empowerment and taking ownership of your body- I felt like I had completely ignored my own advice and message that I’ve been working so hard to try and promote.”
She added: “It’s important to make clear that I will be using OnlyFans and Twitch to interact and engage with my fans and audience and this won’t be explicit content. I want to ensure I’m connecting with my audience as much as possible.”
“I’m proud of who I am and I’m owning this and really looking forward to hopefully changing people’s perceptions of the site.
“Only Fans isn’t just about explicit content and I’m not using the site for glamour modelling – this is about empowerment and taking ownership of my own content – to prevent others exploiting my rights, my body and my business.”
Over the summer fans were shocked when early favourite Shannon was the first to leave the villa in a brutal twist after just one day.
Since then Shannon has worked on a number of collaborations and has reunited with her ex-boyfriend.
