TO the outside world, Caroline Vee appears just like any other granny as she browses the aisles of her local supermarket.
But looks can be deceiving. While most grandmothers are filling their baskets with tea bags and treats for the grandkids, the 72-year-old is stocking up on racy lingerie and risque bedroom accessories.

Because she’s no ordinary grandma – she’s an OAP escort.
In just eight years, the retired dinner lady – whose real name is Siobhan Burt – has bonked over 2,000 men, earning more than £3,000 a month as a sex worker.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun from her home in Worcester Park, Sutton, she says: “I am one of Britain’s top OAP escorts – the older version of Bonnie Blue! I love my job, and it pays the bills.
“Just because I’m now 72 doesn’t mean I should stop having sex or showing off my body. I refuse to be trolled. I am proud of my achievements. If people are bothered, that’s their problem.”
But Caroline hasn’t always had a high sex drive. In fact, she was celibate for 40 years and had only had a few lovers.
“I was celibate for four decades,” she recalls. “It wasn’t until I was 62 that I had sex again. It ended my long dry spell and awakened something inside me.”
Caroline – who has never married and lives with her cat Oscar – dotes on her family, including two nieces, two nephews, and four great-grandnieces and nephews.
Raised in a strict Catholic household, she is the youngest of four children, with two sisters and a brother who has sadly passed away.
“I left school at 16 and got a Saturday job at Woolworths,” she explains. “I went on to study catering at college and later became a dinner lady.”
“I started dating at 16 but was told from a young age that sex before marriage was a big no, no.”
Caroline – who recently stunned viewers appearing on This Morning and was dubbed the ‘OAP Bonnie Blue – tells how she’s always been a bit of a “rebel” and lost her virginity when she was 16.
“It was a bit of an anti-climax, forgive the pun,” she laughs. “I didn’t orgasm and didn’t really enjoy it. I remember feeling an overwhelming disappointment.
“After losing my virginity I only slept with another two lads. I wasn’t climaxing, I didn’t know what that was and it was underwhelming.
“At 18, I became a born-again Christian and remained celibate for 40 years. The church taught that sex before marriage was forbidden, so that was the end of my sex life.”

Between the ages of 20 and 60, Caroline held various jobs in retail and catering and even worked with the homeless before eventually becoming a florist.
“I did some floral arrangements when one of the elderly people we housed passed away. People praised my skills. So, I set up my own florist shop,” she says.
Caroline admits her main focus was paying the mortgage on her three-bedroom terraced house, which she bought for £160,000, and keeping up with bills.
She occasionally dated but never found her perfect man.
Then, at 57, she was unexpectedly propositioned at her shop by a hunky 27-year-old rugby player.
“I thought he was just being sweet,” she recalls. “It was fun flirting with him, but I didn’t think he was serious.”
The encounter sparked her curiosity, leading her to do a little online exploring.
“He told me I was a cougar,” she says. “I had no idea what that meant and had to look it up. Then I signed up to a saucy dating site, just to see what all the fuss was about.
“One man was lovely and asked me on a date. We ended up fooling around but we didn’t have intercourse.
“He told me I was the sexiest woman he’d ever met and was the queen of seduction.
“The praise gave me a huge boost. I vowed at 58 I should live a little.”
Caroline – who recently appeared on Olivia Attwood’s ITVx documentary, Getting Filthy Rich – finally ended her sex drought when she was 62 years old.
Swinging 60s
“A man I had been dating through the site asked if I would like to come to a club with him to celebrate his friend’s birthday,” she explains.
“I did not know it was a swinging club or even what a swinging club was back then.
“His female friend just told me to wear some sexy underwear and a corset.
“Instead, I relied on my trusty Marks and Spencer undies and a simple dress and cardigan. On the way there they told me it was a swingers club – where couples go and swap sexual partners.
“I was shocked but figured I could just watch.
“When we got there, they showed me the dungeon room, the playroom, the group sex room and the fetish section.

“I was properly gobsmacked, I did know this existed.
“There were so many people, they’re doing all sorts of things. I needed a few stiff drinks and headed for the bar.
“I ended up just fooling around with the couple. And it was amazing.
“My libido was rekindled, and I wanted to come back again.”

In the days that followed, Caroline could not get the club out of her mind.
“I was desperate to go back and enjoy all the excitement again,” she explains. “I ended up going once a month over the next four years.
“I even celebrated New Year’s Eve at a swinging party,” she recalls. “People loved that I was a big, older, beautiful woman. I’m 5ft 1, a size 20, with 38GG boobs.
“Men are drawn to my curves and confidence. There’s also a huge appeal for the granny fantasy.”

Caroline’s adventures in the swinging scene soon led to an unexpected opportunity – modelling.
“In 2014, I was approached by a photographer who was on the swinging scene to do some modelling,” she says.
“It was a bit of a naughty shoot,” she giggles. “I was told I would have to be completely naked.”
Caroline tells how she was a “bag of nerves” as she peeled off her “charity shop jumper”.
“But I soon got into the groove and soon my trusty M&S bra was off too and I was completely starkers. It was exhilarating.
“After that day, I decided to set up a modelling portfolio and advertise online as an escort and chat line Granny and model.”
Shocked pals
Her friends and colleagues were shocked at first when they heard about her raunchy past time.
“I loved it and was inundated with requests and realised I was loving the sex, meeting people and of course the ability to pay off my mortgage,” she says.
Is sex work legal in the UK?
The exchange of sexual services for money is legal in the UK (apart from in Northern Ireland where it’s illegal to pay for sex).
But, these related activities are illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 2003:
- soliciting (trying to get clients) on the street or other public place, including someone in a vehicle
- paying for the services of a sex worker who’s forced or threatened into it
- owning or managing a brothel (any premises which is used by more than one person for sex work)
- pimping (someone who has control over sex workers and the money they earn)
- advertising sexual services, including putting cards in phone boxes
Caroline was making so much money that she retired from her job as a florist last December and became a sex worker full time.
“I realised escorting was not seedy, it could be a good job if you liked it, and I did. I love it,” she says.
“I have had sex with men aged 18 through to 80,” she continues.
“My knees are starting to go a bit but my back is great.”
On average, Caroline will see three to four clients weekly but when she is “on tour” that number increases.
“On tour means I’ll visit a different city for a week, and let my fans know where so they can book me,” she says.
“That’s when I manage to fit in a couple of quickies and a girlfriend experience booking each day.”
“In January, I made my final mortgage payment,” she says proudly. “It was a huge moment – one that wouldn’t have been possible without this line of work.
“I discovered my sex drive later in life, and now I’m making the most of it. I don’t care what anyone thinks – I love my job, I love my sex life, and I’m mortgage-free. I’ll still be bonking at 100.”
