A woman who grew up on a council estate has spoken up about how proud she is of her profession as a high-class streetwalker because it helped her family put food on the table and fund her sister’s schooling.

Cat English, 37, from East Lancashire, told Fabulous about her time as a streetwalker when she could earn up to £1000 per day to help support her family.

Cat began lap dancing at the age of 18 and received her first streetwalker booking five years later.

“I was tired of being in my overdraft, and on minimum wage as a store manager in retail,” she explained.

“I’m the eldest of my siblings. At the time they were all in education including my sister who was studying a law degree, which made me strive to want to help take the pressure off her even more.”

Cat was concerned that if her sister worked, she wouldn’t be able to devote the time she needed to her studies.

“She knew everything about my role as a high-class c******* and is and always has been proud to call me her sister,” she continued.

“Being a c******* also allowed me to pay for my younger brothers to have food and clothes and help my mother who is a single parent with her ever growing house bills.”

“I promised my brother I would pay for his driving lessons and his car when he passed, which I did, then his insurance, tax and MOT all added up. I also helped support my brother through his degree.”

Cat went on to add that as a streetwalker, she was fully booked all day and night since she was one of the “popular ones” – and that on a good day, she might earn around £1000.

While she admitted that her mother didn’t condemn her when she told her mother about her career choice, not everyone was as enthusiastic.

“I tried my best to keep it a secret because many tarnish people who work in the s** industry,” Cat admitted. “Why aren’t the clients who pay for the services not tarnished too?”

She continued: “When clients in the industry would say ‘What’s a girl like you doing working here?’ I wanted to respond, ‘You’re paying for me. You’re here too.’

“I couldn’t tell them I have no food in the cupboards or fridge and that I was struggling to survive.

“I’ve come from a poor area and when the toilet roll had run out, I learnt to use newspaper, or when I had no sanitary towels, socks had to do.”

But Cat, who chronicles her life in her new memoir “Briefly Yours,” which will be released on March 28, says she also received a lot of nice feedback.

“People have sent messages saying they’re proud of me for doing what I’ve done and that they’ve also had to do the same to survive,” she explained.

“I would work full-time for a matter of weeks and then take time out and have a long stint break.

During these times off, Cat decided to devote her attention to her greatest passion: cat rescue. She also met and fell in love with her current partner, who wishes to stay nameless, and has now ended her profession as a streetwalker.

“I’ve saved thousands of cats over the years,” she said.

“Growing up on a council estate has made me appreciate even the smallest of things in life – like having a warm meal on the table – so I understand how the street cats must feel if their tummies aren’t full which is why I am here for them.”

“I never harmed anyone by doing my job, it doesn’t make me a bad person,” Cat said, adding that she’s happy of what she’s accomplished.

“Don’t judge another until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes or in this case, stilettos may be more appropriate!

“I’m proud of where I’ve come from, it’s made me who I am today.”
