Closest I've ever come to someone in the trade -and it is a very tenuous link- was someone I went to school with, through all ages primary right up to secondary, I swear it was her on Central Weekend which was like a public debate show back in the day that Nicky Campbell would host.
It was about sex workers and she was on wearing a pair of shades as one of the sex workers. I had a schoolboy fumble with her (as it turned out, did loads of us) when we were about 16.
