    As a child, Beth Bennett wanted to be a police officer when she grew up.<\/p>\n

    But after finishing school she went to university at 17 before leaving with marketing and arts degrees and at the time she assumed she would find a career in advertising.<\/p>\n

    However, things took an unexpected turn during her studies when she became a stripper after her mum recommended the advertisement in the local newspaper.<\/p>\n

    Beth, who is from New Zealand, later moved to the UK where she continued her saucy path as a model for Babestation. Now she's worked there for almost 12 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

    But speaking to Daily Star about how she first found titillating work, she said: \u201cWhen I was at university I worked as a stripper because I accidentally fell into it I guess.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI used to do a lot of performing when I was younger like musical shows and then one day when I was about 19, maybe 20, my mum called me and was like 'there is an ad in the newspaper and they want dancers' and it was very ambiguous, just that dancers were wanted.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThat was how they used to advertise for auditions in the city. So I was like ok cool and I gave them a call and they said it was Stilettos \u2013 which is the only strip club in the city where I am from. \u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Laughing, she added: \u201cSo it was a big joke with my friends about how my mum accidentally tried to pimp me out and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Beth, now 37, and her pals decided to visit the strip club after hearing rumours that women were allowed in for free.<\/p>\n

    And remembering seeing half-naked performers flaunting their curves on the poles, she said: \u201cWe went along and I was mildly unimpressed with the girls working and I was like \u2018well I could do this and I could definitely do it better\u2019 so that is how I ended up doing it. But I decided to stop that when I came to the UK and I would get a proper job.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Beth initially shifted in a pub in Oxfordshire before applying to be a Babestation model after she came across the channel while flicking through her TV one night. <\/p>\n

    She has been there ever since and is now one of longest serving members of the team \u2013 but she still recalls having to explain to her family back home what Babestation was.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cIt was very difficult,\u201d she laughed. \u201cSo my mum is a bit older and it must have been when I first started here that I wrote to her and tried to explain that it was a television channel and it was called Babestation and obviously she had known what I had done lap dancing wise and she wrote back to say that it sounded interesting.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAnd obviously my brother who is a little bit younger than me must have Googled it and the next email I got was \u2018so it is pornography\u2019.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI was like 'no no no, it\u2019s soft pornography, it is not anything hardcore', but explaining to people is long because they have so many questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

    But Beth is now a veteran of the company which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary after it first aired on live TV back in 2002.<\/p>\n

    Some of the same clients who called her when she first started still phone to this day and Beth spoke about why she has stuck around for so long.<\/p>\n

    She said: \u201cIt is a really fun environment and people think it would be really b****y and really catty because it is women mostly.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cBut 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.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAnd the people we work with, all the cameramen and everything are really friendly and there is no reason why I wouldn\u2019t want to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
