Tia Billinger (born 1999), known professionally as Bonnie Blue, is an English sex worker. After being criticised by a tabloid for attending 2023's schoolies week, she had sex with large numbers of students at both spring break in Cancún and freshers' week in Derby and Nottingham and went viral for discussing her sex life on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast. She was criticised during this period for the age of her co-stars (as young as 18) and for comments that critics have described as promoting misogyny and the sexual objectification of women.

Blue had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours on 12 January 2025, prompting widespread criticism but inspiring similar events by Lily Phillips, Annie Knight, and Drake Von. She was banned from OnlyFans in June after announcing and later cancelling an event in which she would be tied up naked inside a glass box with the goal of having sex with 2,000 men, following which she moved her content to Fansly. She then organised a much-criticised freshers' week tour and claimed to have had unprotected sex with about 400 men in one day. Pornhub announced in December 2025 that Blue was the fourth most searched for porn star that year.

Blue was born in 1999^[1][2] in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire^[2] and grew up in nearby Draycott.^[3] She attended Friesland School^[4] and took part in the British street dance championships with her sister in 2015. Blue originally wanted to be a midwife but aborted the career during her A-levels after discovering that she was already earning the post's starting salary in Poundstretcher and as a dance teacher. She spent five years working as a finance recruiter for the National Health Service (NHS) and 18 months trying to conceive before marrying her partner at a registry office in February 2022 and moving with him to Australia's Gold Coast.^[3] Towards the end of her two years there, she became a webcam model after seeing women advertising camming services on TikTok^[3] and made $5,000 in her first week.^[5]

After drifting apart from her husband, she became an escort and joined OnlyFans.^[3] Within a month of the latter, she had made £8,000 from her subscriptions.^[2] She went to schoolies week with OnlyFans creators Leilani May and Kay Manuel in late 2023 with the intention of handing out business cards with QR codes to her OnlyFans account. After being branded a predator by a tabloid, she began recruiting men over the age of 18 to have sex with^[3][6] including 122 students at spring break in Cancún in March 2024 and 150 students at freshers' week in Derby and Nottingham in September 2024.^[3][7][8] She was joined in Cancún and England by May and Lily Phillips respectively^[9][10] and promoted the events with a sign her mother had made saying "Bonk me and let me film it".^[3]

On 23 October 2024, Blue appeared on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast.^[11] During her episode, she discussed her niche of having sex with university students, claimed to have had sex with their lecturers and married men, blamed women neglecting their sex lives for men's demand for her, and recounted an occasion in which she had sex with a student and then his father. A clip of the last of these went viral and was later deleted. Viewers accused Blue of misogyny, contributing towards sexual objectification of women, manipulating young men into performing sex on camera, and ignoring the long-term impact on such men. In interviews with The Tab and Cosmopolitan later that month, she stated that the criticism could be attributed to the podcast's female audience, that the backlash Barry received should have been directed at herself, that those complaining about the young age of her co-stars should instead lobby governments to increase the age of consent, and that her ex-husband still worked with her behind the scenes.^[12][5] The episode also went viral shortly before Barry was announced for the twenty-fourth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.^[11]

By early November, Blue had been the subject of sympathy from journalist Sophie Wilkinson and had told the Daily Star that men came to her because they were unsatisfied by their spouses and The Kyle and Jackie O Show that unsatisfied men had the right to do so.^[5] Around this time, she and Annie Knight announced that they would attend that year's schoolies week and were looking for "barely legal 18-year-olds" to film porn with. Their plans sparked outrage and a Change.org petition to cancel their visas. After Blue's was,^[13][14] the pair attempted to film in Fiji, which led to the pair being deported.^[15][16][17] Blue then debated with reality television personality Ashley James on the ITV daytime show This Morning over the promotion of her content.^[18] The following month, after being edited to feature the logo of online casino Stake.com, a September 2024 clip of Blue outside Nottingham Trent University talking about having sex with lots of "barely legal 18-year-olds" went viral on Twitter after being posted by an account claiming to be affiliated with the company, prompting anti-gambling campaigners to write to the UK's culture secretary to request censorship of the advert for using sex to promote gambling to young people.^[19][20][21]

Blue attempted to break the world record for the most number of sexual partners in one day on 12 January 2025,^[19][12] when she had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours.^[22][23] Pornographic film actress Lisa Sparxxx was reported as having set a one-day record of 919 men in 2004.^[a] Blue's co-stars filmed in groups^[24] and mostly wore balaclavas; one man brought his mother.^[25] Footage of men queuing and one man being forcibly removed from the event by his mother went viral.^[24] Widespread criticism was directed at Blue, with Victoria Smith of UnHerd accusing Blue of promoting "misogyny" and "dehumanisation" and Gareth Roberts of The Spectator comparing Blue with Andrew Tate,^[26] and then at the men,^[12] including by Olivia Attwood, Katherine Ryan,^[27] and multiple columnists. Many of those criticising the men compared them to the perpetrators in the Pelicot rape case.^[28][26][29] The event made her the subject of months of media attention,^[24][28] during which time she repeatedly stated that she did her job because she enjoyed it,^[26][30] and inspired an Edinburgh Festival Fringe show^[31] and similar events by Phillips, Knight,^[30][32][22] and Drake Von.^[33]

By June 2025, Blue was making $2.1 million per month on OnlyFans.^[34] That month, Blue announced and later cancelled an event in which she would be naked and tied up inside a glass box with the intention of having sex with 2,000 men.^[28][3] The idea drew criticism from fellow OnlyFans creators including Sophie Rain^[35][30] and prompted OnlyFans to ban Blue from the platform.^[28][3] She then began posting content to the subscription-based OnlyFans alternative Fansly^[34][3] and announced a 24-hour live-stream.^[36] Later that month, Blue was a guest on Andrew Tate's Disruptors podcast^[3] and the subject of an article in The Economist titled "Welcome to Bonnie Blue's Britain".^[35] Channel 4 broadcast the documentary 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story in late July,^[28] which featured Victoria Silver following Blue around for six months^[37] and chronicled her world record attempt, move from OnlyFans, recruitment of multiple young-looking female content creators for a sex education lesson, and preparation to fly to Romania to film Disruptors.^[28][38] The show was criticised for featuring footage of Blue having sex and for not adequately challenging Blue, with multiple firms withdrawing their adverts after broadcast.^[39] Ofcom declined to investigate after receiving 160 complaints.^[40]

Blue attempted to start a freshers' week tour in Dundee in September 2025, but had to move its launch to Glasgow following criticism from the University of Dundee's Feminist Society and multiple politicians including East Kilbride and Strathaven's MP Joani Reid.^[41][42] Blue's visit to Oxford was also criticised by a local councillor.^[43] Pornhub announced in December 2025 that Blue was the fourth most searched for porn star that year.^[44] That month, while visiting the Indonesian island of Bali, she and at least 17 other men were arrested on suspicion of producing pornography, for which she was banned from the country for ten years. She was also fined Rp 200,000 (about £9) for traffic violations.^[45][46] Upon her return to London, she filmed footage of herself outside that city's embassy of Indonesia dragging an Indonesian flag behind her on the floor, prompting criticism from Indonesia's government.^[46] In February 2026, she claimed to have had unprotected sex with about 400 men in one day.^[47]

In February 2025, Blue posted on Instagram a picture of noodles, pickles, and chocolate sauce next to the word "#cravings" followed by a series of photos of herself with the caption "It's giving milf vibes", prompting speculation that she was pregnant.^[12][48][49] She is cisgender, although a hoax tweet claiming otherwise featuring a photoshopped Wikipedia article went viral in June 2025; PinkNews attributed some of the confusion to coverage of trans OnlyFans creator Kay Manuel, who had been dubbed the "Australian Bonnie Blue" by tabloids after claiming to have had sex with large numbers of school leavers.^[1] In a December 2025 opinion piece for The Spectator, Blue endorsed Nigel Farage and the tax and immigration policies of his party Reform UK.^[50][51][52]

The Derby Telegraph wrote in January 2025 that Blue was a regular at Derby County F.C. games.^[4] She briefly sponsored Cornwall amateur football club Calstock FC in April 2025, but was dropped as a sponsor shortly afterwards.^[53] She has stated that she was inspired to enter the porn industry by the wide range of shapes, sizes, and backgrounds of women she saw camming on TikTok, having lost confidence and gained weight whilst resident in Australia due to living among large numbers of influencers. Janice Turner of The Times wrote in July 2025 that "unlike most porn stars", Blue did not attempt to fake orgasms, a fact Blue attributed to her attention being on other aspects of filming.^[3]
