A WOMAN who grew up on a council estate has told how she's proud of her career as a high-class call girl because it put food on the table and helped pay for her sister's education.
Cat English, who is 37 and lives in East Lancashire, has spoken to Fabulous about her new memoir "Briefly Yours", which will be released on 28 March and details how she was a call girl and could earn up to £1k a day to help her family survive.
Cat started out lap dancing at the age of 18, before getting her first booking as a call girl five years later.
"I was tired of being in my overdraft, and on minimum wage as a store manager in retail," she explained.
"I'm the eldest of my siblings. At the time they were all in education including my sister who was studying a law degree, which made me strive to want to help take the pressure off her even more."
Cat worried that if her sister worked, she wouldn't have been able to devote her time to studying.

"She knew everything about my role as a high-class call girl and is and always has been proud to call me her sister," she continued.
"Being a call girl also allowed me to pay for my younger brothers to have food and clothes and help my mother who is a single parent with her ever growing house bills."
"I promised my brother I would pay for his driving lessons and his car when he passed, which I did, then his insurance, tax and MOT all added up. I also helped support my brother through his degree."
Cat went on to say how she was fully booked all day and night as a call-girl because she was one of the "popular ones" – and would make around £1000 on a good day.

But while she admitted her mum didn't judge her when she found out about her chosen career path, not everyone was quite as supportive.
"I tried my best to keep it a secret because many tarnish people who work in the sex industry," Cat admitted. "Why aren't the clients who pay for the services not tarnished too?"

She continued: "When clients in the industry would say 'What's a girl like you doing working here?' I wanted to respond, 'You're paying for me. You're here too.'
"I couldn't tell them I have no food in the cupboards or fridge and that I was struggling to survive.
"I've come from a poor area and when the toilet roll had run out, I learnt to use newspaper, or when I had no sanitary towels, socks had to do."
But Cat says she did receive plenty of positive messages from people, too.

"People have sent messages saying they're proud of me for doing what I've done and that they've also had to do the same to survive," she explained.
"I would work full-time for a matter of weeks and then take time out and have a long stint break.

During these breaks, Cat began to focus her time one her biggest passion – rescuing cats. She also met and got serious with her current partner, who remains anonymous, has now put an end to her career as a call girl.
"I've saved thousands of cats over the years," she said.
"Growing up on a council estate has made me appreciate even the smallest of things in life – like having a warm meal on the table – so I understand how the street cats must feel if their tummies aren't full which is why I am here for them."
Speaking of how she's proud of everything she's achieved, Cat added: "I never harmed anyone by doing my job, it doesn't make me a bad person.
"Don't judge another until you've walked a mile in their shoes or in this case, stilettos may be more appropriate!
