Disgraced British model Sophie Anderton has spoken out about her days as a high-priced hooker, insisting she took the cash to pay for drug debts.

The stunner was recently exposed as a cocaine user in British tabloid The Sun and now she's revealing what she did to earn upto $22,500-an-hour as a prostitute to millionaire businessmen.

She tells the publication, "This is the truth, warts and all. For a short while I sold my body for a lot of money. I am not proud of it... In the summer of 2004 I was drinking a bottle of vodka a night and using cocaine by day. The coke ran out, my cash card was rejected and my dealer was ringing up demanding payments. I knew I desperately needed money - now."

Anderton admits her first sexual encounter as a hooker lasted less than two minutes: "I felt a bit sick before my first time. But I told myself to get a grip. I got a taxi to a hotel in Knightsbridge, West London. I was shaking and sweating. I was dressed in a black Dolce and Gabbana suit, with six-inch Louboutin heels. I looked respectable, successful, normal. I went to this man's room. I had told the madam I didn't want to be with some horrible fat, old man. So when he opened the door I was relieved. He was a smart Arab, mid-30s and quite handsome. We shook hands. He seemed so lonely my nerves vanished and I felt sorry for this man. After about 40 minutes of talking, I decided to take charge and stood up and took my dress off. I pushed him back on the bed while he looked at me eagerly. I closed my eyes and quickly pulled down his underwear. I felt in control. It was over very quickly. He handed me the cash and I slipped out."

The model admits she was an instant big hit: "I actually giggled when she (the madam) asked if I fancied a trip to Florence. I thought, 'Italy doesn't sound too bad'. Suddenly I was on a plane, first class. I was taken to a beautiful hotel, where a porter showed me to my room. It was filled with chocolates, champagne, flowers. Laid out on the bed was expensive underwear with a note that read, 'Please put these on'."

The client was a British businessman she knew, and her money-making side venture almost came to a crashing halt.

She adds, "He said, 'Sophie, why is a nice girl like you doing something like this?' I couldn't answer. But the sex was amazing and the following morning I woke up and found a Christian Dior bag filled with £50 notes. I'd sold my body again and this was what it was worth."

Her days as a high-class hooker ended when she almost threw up during sex with a "leering" overweight businessman: "I felt sick. His face was sweaty and cheerful, like a cat who'd got the cream. For the first time, I felt like a piece of meat. He stripped, revealing a huge stomach. It was over in a minute. I left trembling and crying. I had slept with five men and made more than £50,000, which paid my drug debts and a deposit on a flat. Now I could escape."
