BBC viewers were left shocked after Lily Phillips revealed she first watched porn aged 11.
The star recently appeared on , where she was interviewed by about her experience in the industry.
The 23-year-old discussed everything from her first time viewing adult content to her controversial 101-men sex stunt.
“Honestly I probably watched pornography first when I was maybe 11,” the native said.
“I've always known about it, I always knew it was a thing. I always thought it was very normal to watch.
“I personally don't think pornography is a bad thing in moderation.”
She added that she thinks over access to the content for young people is when it “becomes a problem”.
