Porn star gran blames X Factor's Katie Waissel for ruining her career

The 82-year-old grandmother of Katie Waissel told 'This Morning' that the X Factor contestant "ruined" her career by bringing attention to her own job as a working escort.

Speaking on the ITV1 show Sheila Vogel-Coupe denied being a prostitute but said she charged "for other things" whilst working as an escort.

Vogel-Coupe said: "I'm not a prostitute, I'm an escort... I go out with gentlemen and I attend the opera with them, I go out for dinner with them, but I'm not a prostitute.

"I do charge them yes, for my time. During my time we may just sit and talk, we may go out for dinner, we may go to the cinema, and we might do other things, yes. I think I'm quite unique at my age to do what I do."

Vogel-Coupe also admitted starring in a porn movie was something she regretted and hoped that her family would not be so "judgemental" over her career choice and that they would all be reconciled one day.
