Shannon said her Birmingham born dad worked as a stripper and took his kit off during her high school days.

She explained: “My dad used to be a stripper. I think it is absolute jokes. I love it.

“When me and my brother were younger he used to have a silver Honda Civic, he had ‘Sweet Cheeks’ and pink writing with kisses all over the car to advertise his stripping.

“We were probably ten-years-old when we clocked on that something was different.

“When we got to secondary school people were like, ‘Your dad did my mum’s hen do.’ I was like, ‘Great’.

“My dad loved it.

“When we were younger we tossed it to the side, at high school it was mortifying now I love it and I think it’s jokes.”

Shannon, 22, said it was her dad’s career and her mum’s support of his choice which led to her starting a glamour modelling career.
