Keeley Hazell says she felt ‘ashamed’ of posing topless and was ‘too young’ for glamour industry
Why Keeley Hazell lied about life as a Page 3 model
- Actor Keeley Hazell, 38, has revealed she was "so embarrassed and ashamed" of her glamour modelling career, which began when she was 17.
- Despite publicly stating at the time that the topless shoots were "empowering", Hazell admitted she was "mortified" and felt deep shame, hating her appearance and the attention.
- She explained that she lied about her true feelings to maintain her male fanbase and prevent them from feeling shame for enjoying the photos.
- Hazell's career was launched after winning The Sun's Page 3 competition in 2004, and although she earned as little as £250 per shoot, the money was "life-changing."
- Her last Page 3 appearance was in 2009. The Sun stopped publishing Page 3 photos in 2015.
