The glamour modelling scene is rife these days, especially since platforms like OnlyFans have surged in popularity.
Yet, 23-year-old Cait Hellyer from, Gloucestershire, has carved out a unique niche for herself as ‘Britain’s smallest glamour model’.
Standing at 3ft8, Cait is turning heads and earning a pretty penny from her petite curves, and she’s unapologetic about it. But, how did she fall into the job?
Cait has shared that her journey began with fashion-focused content on her Instagram handle @asliceofcait. However, it wasn’t long before her posts took a more daring turn.
the model, who has an impressive Instagram following of 26,800, told us: “I started doing fashion about six or seven years ago on Instagram and I’ve only just recently started growing my account more in the last two years and become a proper influencer.

“I was posting lingerie photos on Instagram and not thinking much of it. I wanted to show other people you can be confident in your body, especially with my condition. You don’t have to hide yourself.
“Then I realised I was giving it away for free and only men were engaging with it anyway. So we decided to put it from OnlyFans and make money from it and make a profit and do professional shoots.”
When quizzed about her family’s reaction to her bold career choice, Cait acknowledged their initial reservations but now they are supportive. “They’re quite pleased I’m doing well with it,” she revealed.
The brunette beauty is fortunate to have a supportive boyfriend who fully backs her career choice. “My boyfriend is supportive, he believes it’s good for me to make a career for myself and be financially independent,” she shared. “So that’s very nice to have that from another half.”
In fact, her partner even sifts through Cait’s “unsolicited” Instagram messages in the morning so she doesn’t have to deal with them. “My boyfriend is on my account and he shifts through my Instagram messages in the morning before I even see them,” she revealed. “But sometimes I do see a few if they come through throughout the day. It can be very unsolicited images, graphic messages about what they want to do.”
Cait acknowledges that she also receives some unusual requests on OnlyFans, but she ‘doesn’t mind as they’re paying’. The model treats OnlyFans as her full-time job currently, although she admits the income can vary month by month. “The money fluctuates,” she explains. “I have to live carefully now and again. But I have made a flexible life for myself.”
Before embarking on her online career, Cait – who holds a degree in marketing – used to help small businesses establish their social media presence and re-brand. However, the traditional 9-5 workday wasn’t for her. “I didn’t want to work an 8-hour day for minimum wage,” she confesses. “There’s no point really if you can earn money elsewhere and work for three hours a day.”
She has since turned to selling lingerie, swimwear, and latex content on OnlyFans, and thoroughly enjoying the lifestyle it affords her as the earnings pour in. “I can go on holiday and see my family when I want,” she expressed. “I have a flexible life and I don’t see any shame in doing it.”
