ITV GMB's Susanna Reid makes cheeky dig at Scots OnlyFans teacher live on air
Kirsty Buchan was struck off after it came to light that she was a OnlyFans model as well as a teacher at Bannerman High School in Glasgow.
Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley were left lost for words as they were joined on Wednesday morning by Scots physics teacher Kirsty Buchan who was struck off after pupils discovered that she was a OnlyFans model.
The 34-year-old defended her decision to join the adult site as she was a single parent and had family bills to pay. She went on to say that one month she made £60,000 by posing topless and in racy underwear.
Speaking on the breakfast programme, Kirsty told the hosts: "I didn't think I would be caught, I didn't think I would be famous."
Richard went on to ask her about the moment the kids discovered her online, she said: "All support, I've had messages even this morning from my all old colleagues and all the school kids still support me to this day."
Richard asked if she thinks she's done anything to be ashamed of, to which Kirsty declared she is "not ashamed".
She said: "No I'm not ashamed of it, I didn't want the kids to see it but I didn't let the kids view my pictures that's what's wrong with the whole story here an adult illegally copyrighted my photos and sent them out to the children in the school."
Kirsty was then quizzed about the atmosphere in the classroom, she replied: "Of course there were giggles, they were saying it was like Christmas come early... you don't want them to see you that way."
She added: "Some of the staff obviously weren't too pleased because obviously it did have a name for the school, it's not about the school, I'm just a teacher, and a mother in Glasgow, it just so happened I was at Bannerman High School."
As the interview came to an end, Susanna introduced weather presenter Laura Tobin - and appeared to make a sly dig at her chat with Kirsty.
She said: "Thank you for coming in to talk to us this morning, I can imagine that people will have strong views. Well, it's good to meet you... "Right, let's have a look at weather now with Laura who's all covered up in a field in Kent."
Buchan of Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, left her role at Bannerman High School in Glasgow when her explicit sideline was revealed. Pupils had got wind of the full-frontal content and some parents were furious.
The physics teacher claimed she only started to post images to make money amid a pay row. In an interview with the Record in 2022 she claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site.
Glasgow City Council launched a probe into Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
The mum-of-one's case went before a disciplinary panel where she faced three allegations against her.
The education watchdog found that she had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and that her behaviour lacked integrity.
The GTCS said that between 2022 and 2023 Buchan set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker 'Jessica Jackrabbitx' and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos.
It is said her bio on her page read, 'good teacher gone bad really bad', and made reference to posting 'big t**s and sexy tight body' photos 'every couple of days'.
They also said she failed to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans.

Out this week, Celebrate by Paul Hollywood (Bloomsbury Publishing) is chock-full of fool-proof recipes for all occasions, be it a summer picnic, birthday, Valentine's or Christmas. So, with Father's Day this weekend, it's perfect timing for whipping up some easy home-made treats - from layer cakes to tray bakes, breads, pies and even a good old-fashioned jelly. We all know the way to a dad's heart is through his stomach, after all... 4 This new baking book will spark joy all year round Credit: Haarala Hamilton You might not be in the running for a famous Hollywood handshake a la Great British Bake Off, but how about a hug from your dad? So, grab your baking trays and dust off the scales, get set and bake! 4 Now that's what we call a celebration cake! Credit: Haarala Hamilton Sprinkletti Cake "Decorated and dotted throughout with sprinkles, this cake is all about having a bit of fun and it's great for children's birthday parties. Just make sure you use oven-safe sprinkles, so they keep a good colour and shape when they're cooked." Serves: 10-12 Prep time: 40 mins, plus cooling Cooking time: 20 mins Ingredients: *250g soft margarine *250g caster sugar *5 medium eggs, at room temperature *1tsp vanilla bean paste *250g self-raising flour *1tsp baking powder *80g oven-safe cake sprinkles For the vanilla buttercream *175g unsalted butter, softened *350g icing sugar *1tsp vanilla bean paste *2tbsp boiling water *1 drop purple food colouring (optional) *Cake sprinkles, to decorate Method: 1. Heat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Grease three 20cm loose-bottomed sandwich tins with baking paper. 2. Beat the margarine and sugar together until pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla paste. With the mixer running on a low speed, slowly pour the beaten egg mix into the creamed mixture until it is all incorporated. 3. Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture, then beat on a medium-low speed, until just smoothly combined. Using a spatula, carefully fold the oven-safe sprinkles through the mixture and then divide between the prepared tins. 4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cakes are risen, golden and slightly shrunk away from the sides of the tins. Leave in the tins for 5 minutes, then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely. 5. To make the vanilla buttercream, beat the butter until very soft. Slowly add the icing sugar, mixing well between each addition. Once it is all incorporated, add the vanilla paste and boiling water and mix until soft and fluffy. To make your buttercream extra white, add a tiny speck of purple food colouring and mix well. 6. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand and spread with a quarter of the buttercream. Place a second cake layer on top and spread with another quarter of the buttercream. Sit the final cake layer on top and cover the top and sides with half of the remaining buttercream. Use a warm serrated cake scraper to get a neat finish around the side. 7. Put the remaining buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a 2cm plain nozzle and pipe a decorative border around the top of the cake. To finish, press a band of sprinkles around the bottom 2-3cm of the cake and scatter some sprinkles on top. 4 This jelly is easier to make than you might think Credit: Haarala Hamilton Rainbow Jelly Crown "A dessert that's guaranteed to impress your guests when you bring it to the table! It takes a bit of time to allow the layers of jelly to set, but it's absolutely worth the effort." Serves: 16 Prep time: 15 mins, plus 2 hrs setting Ingredients: *Vegetable oil *4 x 135g packets jelly (lemon, lime, orange and blackcurrant) *340ml tinned sweetened condensed milk *24g powdered gelatine (2 x 12g sachets) *1.37l just-boiled water Method: 1. Using a piece of kitchen paper, wipe the inside of a 2l jelly mould with a tiny bit of oil. 2. To make your first jelly layer, break the lemon jelly cubes apart and place in a jug. Pour over 285ml just-boiled water and stir until dissolved. Pour into the jelly mould and place in the fridge for 1 hour until almost set. The secret to layering up the jelly is never to let the previous layer fully set. It should still be wobbly, or the next layer won't stick to it. 3. While your first layer is setting in the fridge, make the white layer. Pour 230ml just-boiled water into a jug, sprinkle over the powdered gelatine and stir until fully dissolved. Stir in the condensed milk. 4. Once the lemon jelly layer is sufficiently set, pour one-third of the condensed milk mixture on top to create a thin layer and place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, stand the jug in a pan of warm water to prevent the rest of the mixture setting. 5. Repeat these layers, preparing the next jelly while your mould is in the fridge and adding a thin layer of the condensed milk mixture once it is sufficiently set. Once your mould is full you will have a striking stripy jelly of alternating colours separated by thin white layers. Place in the fridge until set. 6. To turn out the jelly, partially dip the mould in a bowl of hot water for a few seconds, then invert a serving plate over the mould. Holding the plate and mould tightly together, turn them upside down to un-mould the jelly on to the plate. 4 This tropical twist on the classic traybake is perfect for summer Credit: Haarala Hamilton Coconut & Passion Fruit Traybake "Traybakes remind me of village fetes and bake sales as a kid. I remember making them when I was a cub scout! They're a great way to get into baking, and you can play around with different flavours and toppings. One thing to remember is to leave them to cool before you slice up – don't rush it." Makes: 12 squares Prep time: 20 mins, plus cooling Cooking time: 25 mins Ingredients: *200g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra to grease *200g caster sugar *Finely grated zest 2 limes *3 large eggs, at room temperature, beaten *200g self-raising flour *1tsp vanilla extract *100g desiccated coconut *3tbsp milk For the topping: *250g mascarpone *1tbsp icing sugar *Finely grated zest and juice 2 limes *3 passion fruit *25g toasted coconut flakes Method: 1. Heat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Grease a 30 x 23cm baking tin, 5cm deep, and line with baking paper. 2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and lime zest together, using a hand-held electric whisk, until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating well after each addition and adding a spoonful of flour halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract. 3. Using a spatula or large metal spoon, carefully fold in the rest of the flour and the desiccated coconut. Finally, incorporate the milk until smoothly combined. 4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and gently smooth the surface to level. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and springy to the touch. 5. Leave the sponge to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. 6. To make the topping, mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar and lime juice in a bowl. Cut each passion fruit in half and scoop out the seeds and juice into a small bowl. Add half of the passion fruit pulp to the mascarpone and stir to mix – save the rest for decoration. 7. Spread the mascarpone over the top of the cooled sponge, using a palette knife. Trickle over the remaining passion fruit pulp and sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes and grated lime zest to finish. Cut into squares to serve.

Emmerdale's Lisa Riley ‘learned a lot about grief' after Robin Windsor death
The 48-year-old, who plays Mandy Dingle on the ITV soap, lost her mother in July 2012, just months before she joined BBC dancing show Strictly Come Dancing, where she was paired up with Windsor, who she credits with helping her through her grief. Windsor died in February last year at the age of 44, and his cause of death was not given. Asked about how she coped with the two deaths on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Riley said: 'I've learned a lot about grief and how to deal with it, and how to be open and to literally ask for help, because it's okay. 'Sometimes people go really within, my brother's that person, we all deal with things differently, and I was pressing the bravado button going, 'I've got to go out and play Mandy Dingle every day, I've got to dress up as Mandy and be funny'. 'There were some days I didn't want to be funny, I'm lucky with the brilliant girls in my dressing room, where we lean on each other, and my work with Sue Ryder, I've realised that there is a helpline out there. 'The internet is brilliant, there are so many places you can go to, Sue Ryder being one of them for help.' Riley went on to say that the Emmerdale team were 'phenomenal' following their deaths, but said she wanted to continue working. The actress said: 'Me, being me, I didn't want to be at home in my bedroom, or at home thinking about it too much, I had to carry on with my day job. 'But the make-up girls, what people at home won't know when they're watching Emmerdale is I was having my make-up done three times because I couldn't get it together, I couldn't, day in, day out, and work were brilliant, like we know, we'll write you out, we'll give you time off should you need it. 'But I wanted to do my job and keep going, because I know Robin would have wanted that, that sparkle, he wanted to keep that spark alive, and I felt I had to do that for him.' She said that when she first met Windsor and they began preparing for the BBC dancing show, she told him she wanted no-one to know her mother had died. Riley added: 'I said, 'under no circumstances can anyone in the press, anyone, know that my mum has just died', because the thought of someone picking up the phone to vote for us as a sympathy vote would break my heart, it would break my mother's heart. 'And Robin was like, 'I'm with you', he understood that, because some people would have gone, 'oh woe is me'. 'We did it because we were Lisa and Robin, the original Will and Grace, and that's what people fell in love with, they fell in love with just us two.'
