A TEACHER who was forced to quit after being exposed for selling racy photos online believes she has had the last laugh – by earning £60,000 a month as an OnlyFans model.
Kirsty Buchan, 34, last night insisted she has no regrets about her controversial career change.

The former science teacher told how she is putting her lucrative income from the X-rated subscription service to good use by supporting loved ones.
Mum-of-one Kirsty, from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, said: ‘I walked away with my head held high.
“I just wanted to match my teacher’s salary and get a little bit more.
“In one month I made £60,000. That’s more than I earned in one year as a teacher.
“I invested money in my house, paid off debts, took my family on holiday and bought my mother a new washing machine. I am proud.”
We told in December 2022 how Kirsty found herself in hot water when bosses discovered her sexy side job.

She resigned from Bannerman High in Baillieston, Glasgow, following an investigation into the scandal.
Now she has claimed regulators want to drag her before a fitness-to-teach panel.
But she didn’t think she would get a fair trial and doubted she would ever return to the classroom.
She said: “The General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) said I had broken contact by being unprofessional.
“They are trying to remove a qualification that I have worked hard for.
“I don’t know if I would go back to teaching. But I cared deeply about the children.”
Critics had alleged that she is charging for sexy photos out of desperation under the online name Jessica Jackrabbit.

But furious Kirsty hit back: ‘You can hate me if you want.
‘I don’t like narrow-minded people who judge people they don’t really know.
“I have the body of an everyday woman and I don’t mind showing my flaws.
‘PARENTS FAULT’
KIRSTY previously told the Scottish Sun she blamed the parents of her former pupils after the X-rated content came to light.
She said it was their fault that their children were able to find the site by not protecting their devices.
Kirsty said: “Some people are so judgmental but I’m on an 18+ site and if the children are getting access to the content it’s because the parents aren’t protecting their devices.
“Who are others to judge? It’s my story to tell. I will do anything to take care of my son.
“How many parents can say they can do that.
“Now people have asked me if I’m stupid, but I’m not stupid, I have a physics degree and I’ve worked hard.
“I could go to work and be disrespected by my bosses – or I could post pictures and make money to take care of my son. For me, that means using my brain.”
“This is about standing up for my story and OnlyFans and promoting feeling good about yourself.
“I’m not looking for the world just to take care of my son.”
Last night Glasgow City Council said: “The council has a code of conduct that all employees must adhere to.”
The GTCS declined to comment.
