Sophie Cohen speaks to Skins actor and performer Megan Prescott about how she took back control of her body and career after the exploitation of the TV world. Megan talks about her experiences doing sex scenes as a child actor in Skins - which would surely not be allowed now - being sexualised in the media and interviewed by older male interviewers like Russell Brand, and how she finally moved into stripping and OnlyFans as a means to take ownership of her image on her own terms, as well as fund her theatrical shows, like 'Really Good Exposure' which is on at London's Soho Theatre in February, and was awarded Best Edinburgh Fringe Debut, and nominated for the Popcorn Writer's Award.
Sophie and Megan discuss sex working, the protection of children on TV sets and a changing world of young women fighting to live on their own terms.
