ITV GMB’s Susanna Reid makes cheeky dig at Scots OnlyFans teacher live on air
Kirsty Buchan was struck off after it came to light that she was a OnlyFans model as well as a teacher at Bannerman High School in Glasgow.
Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley were left lost for words as they were joined on Wednesday morning by Scots physics teacher Kirsty Buchan who was struck off after pupils discovered that she was a OnlyFans model.
The 34-year-old defended her decision to join the adult site as she was a single parent and had family bills to pay. She went on to say that one month she made £60,000 by posing topless and in racy underwear.
Speaking on the breakfast programme, Kirsty told the hosts: “I didn’t think I would be caught, I didn’t think I would be famous.”
Richard went on to ask her about the moment the kids discovered her online, she said: “All support, I’ve had messages even this morning from my all old colleagues and all the school kids still support me to this day.”
Richard asked if she thinks she’s done anything to be ashamed of, to which Kirsty declared she is “not ashamed”
She said: “No I’m not ashamed of it, I didn’t want the kids to see it but I didn’t let the kids view my pictures that’s what’s wrong with the whole story here an adult illegally copyrighted my photos and sent them out to the children in the school.”
Kirsty was then quizzed about the atmosphere in the classroom, she replied: “Of course there were giggles, they were saying it was like Christmas come early… you don’t want them to see you that way.”
She added: “Some of the staff obviously weren’t too pleased because obviously it did have a name for the school, it’s not about the school, I’m just a teacher, and a mother in Glasgow, it just so happened I was at Bannerman High School.”
As the interview came to an end, Susanna introduced weather presenter Laura Tobin – and appeared to make a sly dig at her chat with Kirsty.
She said: “Thank you for coming in to talk to us this morning, I can imagine that people will have strong views. Well, it’s good to meet you… “Right, let’s have a look at weather now with Laura who’s all covered up in a field in Kent.”
Buchan of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, left her role at Bannerman High School in Glasgow when her explicit sideline was revealed. Pupils had got wind of the full-frontal content and some parents were furious.
The physics teacher claimed she only started to post images to make money amid a pay row. In an interview with the Record in 2022 she claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site.
Glasgow City Council launched a probe into Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
The mum-of-one’s case went before a disciplinary panel where she faced three allegations against her.
The education watchdog found that she had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and that her behaviour lacked integrity.
The GTCS said that between 2022 and 2023 Buchan set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker ‘Jessica Jackrabbitx’ and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos.
