Tia Billinger has come a long way from the small village in Derbyshire where she grew up, recently erupting into the world of fame for her daring acts on online media platforms and claiming to earn £750k a month for her endeavours – but Daily Star readers may know her by another name: Bonnie Blue.
She has risen to prominence for her antics, entertaining up to 100 men at various events around the world including Spring Break and Freshers Week, but more is being learned about her life. Bonnie was once the devoted girlfriend of a privately-educated rugby player and, according to the Mail, has the full backing of her family.
Her bonking shenanigans have skyrocketed her into the public consciousness, leading to scores of podcast appearances and now even the possibility of stints on reality TV.

Bonnie’s most recent appearance in the news came after it emerged she had had her visa to travel to Australia revoked. She had intended to travel to bonk 100 lads at ‘schoolies week,’ not dissimilar to the UK’s Freshers.
But there are a lot of things you might not know about Tia Billinger.
Her mum supports her all the way – and is even involved
One interesting development in Bonnie’s escapades recently is that her mum has been by her side acting as a PA.
Sarah Billinger, a 50-year-old hairdresser, said: “I’m always there 100 per cent to support her”.
Amusingly, Bonnie recently said in a joint interview alongside her mum with the same outlet: “My mum said to me as a kid, ‘Don’t be a town bike’, but now me being a bike has paid for our bills.”
Bonnie was an excellent dancer and worked at a bargain store
Bonnie was born in Derbyshire in May 1999 and was a pupil at Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre. She is understood to have had ambitions of being either a dancer or a midwife.
She grew up in Draycott and is purported to have been a “star pupil” at Vibez Danceworks in Long Eaton, competed in the British Street Dance Championships in Glasgow in 2015 and did exams in ballet and tap.
It is understood she also worked in the local Poundstretcher.
Her mum remarried and had her half-sister, and while Bonnie is reported to have seen her mum’s husband as a parental figure, as a teen she was supposedly frustrated by not being close to her biological father.
In a post on Twitter from 2014, she wrote: “Love receiving letters from my dad. Really wish I knew him”.

Bonnie has since talked openly about her dad – although it is not clear whether it is her biological father or the husband of her mother.
In a recent interview on Lottie Moss’ podcast, she was asked what her dad thinks. She said: “Honestly, he loves it. Obviously he doesn’t sit watching the videos. He’s just proud seeing how happy I am, how much I’ve been able to support the family. It’s really changed my life and my family’s life.”
Earlier this week, her stepfather Nicholas Elliott told the Mail: “What my daughter does is none of my business. She’s her own person”.

When she was 15, Bonnie started dating a talented swimmer and rugby player from a nearby private school, Trent College, called Oliver Davidson.
The school can have fees of up to £45,000 a year, and soon Bonnie is understood to have been spending a lot of time at his family home in the nearby village of Kegworth and jetting off to plush holidays in Mexico.
Their relationship was described as “very stable” and after leaving school she got a job at Sellick Partnership as a recruiter.
From there, she and Oliver started a life in a £250,000 semi-detached house in Stapleford, but while friends thought she had it all worked out, Bonnie had other plans.
She married Oliver in 2022 in Westminster, before moving to the Gold Coast of Australia. It was here she started working as a cam girl, it has been reported.

In a podcast earlier this year, Bonnie said that Oliver gave her the confidence to pursue the career, explaining: “At the time, neither of us wanted to work Monday to Friday. We wanted more out of life. We knew continuing to do our jobs, doing the same, you’re not going to change.”
But when she expressed wobbles in her belief that she could make it in the business, she claims Oliver told her: “No, you’re beautiful. Do it”.
It is reported that when the money started rolling in he remained supportive, telling the same podcast: “He was fully supportive from that side because of the money. And then also was just more than happy for me to give it a go and at the time I was his and it was just in a bedroom and it was completely separate so he had no problem with that”.
But after close to a decade together they would break up soon after, although she claims it has nothing to do with her time working in the industry.
Next, she started her OnlyFans account and began her focus on younger men, telling The Mail that from a business perspective, “I knew there was a massive gap that I could exploit.”
And to the people who bemoan her exploits, Bonnie simply had this to say: “Thank you for making me rich”.
