A woman who found herself pouring pints in a Brit countryside boozer while on a work visa says Babestation changed her life.
Coming from New Zealand, Beth Bennett had never heard of the phone sex channel and back then her intention was to return to her homeland after two years.
But fed up with her measly pub wage, she contacted Babestation to enquire about a job. Now she's one of their longest serving performers and is even married to an Englishman.

And Beth, who went to university and got degrees in marketing and arts, spoke to Daily Star about how she became a veteran babe by chance.
She said: “I came over to the UK with a company called London Pubs and they basically set you up with a living pub so you don’t have to worry about anything.
“It was called London Pubs which leads you to believe it would be based in London so I came over and they put me in Thame, a very small village in Oxfordshire, and it was nothing, not even a train station.
“I started doing that and I was working the whole time, you were cooking, cleaning, and I had been horribly misled and at the end of the first week I had worked around 60 hours and they sent me £180 and I had to pay tax on that as well so I thought it wasn’t for me.”
And Beth, who had previously worked as a stripper in New Zealand during her studies after her mum sent her the job ad, then discovered Babestation.
Remembering seeing it for the first time, she laughed: “My little TV in Thame had about 10 channels on and one night Babestation was on and I had already decided that I was not going to keep working in the pub.
“Babestation at the time had this banner along the bottom saying, ‘Do you think you could be a babe’? It doesn’t look like the hardest job, if you are willing to get your clothes off then it is basically just talking isn’t.”
Beth went for an interview and joked she was surprised nobody asked her to strip off during it before she was given the opportunity to go in front of the camera.
She added: “I must have been good enough to keep around because I have been at Babestation coming up for 12 years.”
One of the reasons Beth, who is now 37, has stayed there so long is the sheer enjoyment she gets from the unique job.
She described every day and call being different, and also spoke about how one client proved that she wasn’t just treated like a sex object by randy men.
The glamorous model also said strangers are always so curious and full of questions when she divulges what she does – although she tells certain people that she works in “online sales” to avoid an awkward conversation.
And giving an insight into the reality of being employed at Babestation, she added: “It is a really fun environment and people think it would be really b****y and really catty because it is women mostly.
“But it is really friendly and always different. A lot of people have jobs that get a bit monotonous because it is the same thing day after day but we are literally talking to someone different all the time and it is always going to be a different call and then you get the regular callers and you remember them.
“And the people we work with, all the cameramen and everything are really friendly and there is no reason why I wouldn’t want to be there.”
