Pregnant Rhian Sugden lashes out at ‘sickening, disgusting and horrible’ trolls after being SLAMMED for using OnlyFans earnings of £1,000 a day to pay for her £150,000 IVF treatment

Pregnant Rhian Sugden attacked trolls after she was criticized for using OnlyFans earnings to fund her £150,000 IVF treatment.

The glamor model, 37, is expecting her first child with her husband, actor Oliver Mellor, 42, after experiencing horrific battles during their baby journey, which led to eight grueling rounds of fertility treatment over the course of five years.

In an interview with The Sun last week, Rhian revealed she used her £1,000-a-day earnings from the X-rated subscription site to fund the eye-watering in-vitro fertilization the couple underwent for half a decade.

Days later, she revealed on Instagram that she had been attacked over the comments, admitting that she had received “sickening and horrible messages.”

Rhian delightedly said: ‘I can’t express how happy, grateful and amazing I feel to finally have a baby on board,’ but replied: ‘I just want to say f**k all you negative people. It’s my life, my body, my money and I’ll do whatever I want with the money I’ve earned.’

In her original confession about how she funded the treatment and why she does OnlyFans, Rhian told the newspaper: ‘I have good breasts and I’m not ashamed of OnlyFans. I’ve made more money from OnlyFans than I have in my entire career…

‘There are so many topless pictures of me, and I thought: why not. I made a few thousand a day. Ollie thinks it’s a bizarre concept that all these men are willing to pay money to see his wife’s breasts and he gets the benefits of IVF.’

Following the interview’s publication, she took to Instagram on Monday to hit back at her critics and pen a lengthy attack on her haters.

She wrote: ‘I can’t express how happy, grateful and amazing I feel to finally have a baby on board that I have wanted for SO long!! I just want to remind people that this took me 8 rounds of IVF plus endless tests and medications…

‘Today an article in the newspaper mentioned how my income from my OF page was spent on financing this SUPER EXPENSIVE trip. Once again I find myself receiving sickening and horrible messages!…

‘I just want to say: f**k all the negative, judgmental people. It’s my life, my body, my money and I’ll do whatever I want with the money I’ve earned…

‘Imagine being the type of person who sends messages about abuse to a pregnant woman and tells me that my child will be ashamed of me and that I don’t deserve to be pregnant! After everything I’ve been through. It’s honestly disgusting…

“Anyway, I won’t let anyone burst this bubble! I am THE happiest and contented I have ever been and I can’t wait to meet my little human in a few months…

‘Thank you to the majority of you who have been so supportive of me! It really means the world x’.

Income aside, Rhian also admitted that she is still very unsure about whether she will continue OnlyFans once their baby arrives. She said that despite the “good money,” she feels like she isn’t sure how she will feel once her baby is born.

It comes after Rhian revealed she has been having a private scan every week because it ‘still doesn’t feel real’ that she is 18 weeks pregnant.

Rhian appeared on a recent episode of the now defunct show Steph’s Packed Lunch, appearing in the studio, while Oliver came from home to talk to Steph McGovern about their long struggle to have a baby.

Rhian said: ‘I don’t know how I feel to be honest, it still doesn’t feel real. After believing for a long time that it wouldn’t happen, it finally happened. I’m just really overwhelmed by it right now.

‘I have scans every week because there’s a local clinic, so I keep popping in to check everything’s still OK and that it’s still there.’ We always knew [having children] was planned and you actually expect to become pregnant. You get married and then you try to have children, and then it just happens.

“All those years before you tried not to get pregnant, and when it comes down to it, it just doesn’t happen. So we went for the tests. Oliver was told he had donor worthy sperm and it was me who had the problem, I was in perimenopause.

‘I had no idea because my periods were regular so I had no idea anything could be so wrong.’

The couple, who are expecting their child on May 4, admitted that they sometimes feared they would never be able to get pregnant.

Rhian struggled to conceive due to her low egg count and perimenopausal hormone levels, and was only given a three percent chance of conceiving naturally.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star spoke about her ‘tough’ battle with her IVF treatment and explained how she discovered the happy news the day she planned to give it up.

She added: ‘The first round was NHS, it wasn’t very tailored to me. The first round was tough, just like the first four. After the first four, five, sixth and seventh, it was just part of our lives then. It just became second nature to get up, inject, take tablets.

‘It’s like PMS times 100, so poor Oliver had a lot to deal with. It’s a little blurry at first because like I said, I’m just used to it. Maybe I’m used to keeping all the hormones inside.

‘Number eight was my last. You put everything aside for it. It was like throwing money on the street. We spent a fortune.

‘I was convinced it wasn’t working and I just wanted to have a drink, so I went and took a pregnancy test. I didn’t think it would be positive because all I wanted was a glass of wine in the evening and then it was positive.”

Oliver added: “There’s no denying it’s been very difficult for both of us. Rhian is putting on a bit of a brave face, I think. The emotional trauma has been heavy.

‘Physically, there’s no denying that I’ve had the easiest journey by far. I inject her with hormones and blood thinners twice a day and she takes steroids.

“I felt terrible because I felt like I was hurting her because I had to do this every day, and it just became routine. The emotional side of it, I think we’ve just become numb to it.”
