Frankie Sims “had to do a lot of explaining” to her parents about filming a reality show for OnlyFans.
Frankie Sims talks making an OnlyFans reality show
The ex ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star is on a mission to clear up the misconception that the website, which allows people to share content for a monthly subscription free, is not just for “raunchy” material as she prepares to drop her family's new show, ‘The House of Sims’, in which she takes Hollywood with her siblings, Chloe, Demi and Charlie.
The 28-year-old reality television personality told Heat magazine: “People were really confused about the concept. We’ve had to do a lot of explaining at the beginning and to our parents!
"There’s a taboo around OnlyFans, but people are starting to understand the streaming platform is completely different to the app. The app is used for other things - fitness, cooking and workouts - but all anybody talks about about is the raunchy content that gets posted.
"OnlyFans do have a bit of a thing they’re labelled with, but we’re hoping to change that.”
Frankie detailed how she moved Stateside with dreams of “falling in love” with an American man, but she might have found what she wants when she returned to the UK.
She said: “I didn’t date for a year. When I knew the show was coming up, I had my heart set on going to America, meeting an American man, falling in love and getting married.
"I actually do follow that on the show - I meet up with a matchmaker and she sets me up with somebody but it doesn’t work out.
"I’ve been single so for long, so I was disappointed. I came back to England last month and I was here for two days and I met somebody from London. So, now I’m in a bit of a pickle, because I’ve spent every day with them for the past month. I’m like, ‘How does this happen?' "
Frankie has extended an invitation to him to go to America with her, and it would be “exciting” if he accepted.
She said: “I’m going back in June, and I’ve invited him. It’ll be exciting if he does come.”
