Former *Skins* actor Megan Prescott has candidly opened up about her financial reality, revealing that her subscription platform account brings in triple the revenue she ever earned on the hit British teen series. Prescott, who played twin sister Katie Fitch on E4’s culture-defining drama, made the massive career pivot after years of battling the unpredictable nature of the traditional screen acting industry. The life-changing decision came during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, the former television personality was struggling to make ends meet while working a zero-hours contract job at a distillery. After close friends pointed out that her existing online posts could easily be monetized, she took the plunge and launched her adult platform profile, where she currently charges subscribers £11 a month for explicit photos and videos. ## How much did Megan Prescott make on Skins? Speaking in a new interview with *The Sun*, Prescott explained that the shift completely altered her perspective on her personal brand and career longevity. She admitted that spending years trying to gain momentum in mainstream acting produced very little payout or security. Transitioning to user-funded content allowed her to finally profit from creative work she had spent years putting out online for free. Rather than viewing the career pivot as a step back from showbiz, the former E4 star claims the venture actually unlocked a fresh wave of creative energy. She explained that seeing her follower base actively support her independent work helped build her confidence and transformed the way she approaches digital content creation. ## Is Megan Prescott still acting? Looking toward the future of the entertainment industry, Prescott predicted that more mainstream performers will follow in her footsteps by bypassing traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. She suggested that actors will increasingly turn to creator-driven distribution channels like OFTV—the free streaming platform created by OnlyFans—to produce their own projects with complete artistic freedom and direct financial returns. While *Skins* remains a beloved cult classic among British television fans, Prescott's lucrative pivot highlights the growing trend of former child and teen stars leaving the traditional entertainment industry behind in favor of high-earning subscription platforms.
