An adult actress from south Wales has defended filming a porn video at a Travelodge, claiming sex workers "face injustice and discrimination that other industries don't".
Lacey Amour, 23, was allegedly part of a group who checked into the hotel at Cobalt Business Park in North Tyneside to film content for OnlyFans, a social platform primarily used by adult content creators, reports the BBC.
According to the Sun, Travelodge has launched an investigation after the 28-strong group used the hotel, which is near Newcastle, to capture the x-rated footage - including in the hotel's corridors and lifts.

A video was shared online that showed several people performing inside the hotel and Travelodge reportedly did not know the group had filmed pornography until after they had left.
The group's activity appears to go against Travelodge's terms and conditions listed on its website, which state the hotel can terminate a booking if a guest "conducts commercial activity or activity that seeks to gain profit without written consent" and Travelodge told the BBC it was aware filming had taken place without its "authorisation".
A spokesperson for Travelodge told the BBC it was investigating, and said: "We will have no hesitation in terminating any future bookings and taking legal action if we believe an individual is in breach of our terms and conditions."
But Ms Amour, who has nearly a quarter of a million followers on Instagram, denied that any filming was done outside the bedrooms during their stay on December 12, insisting that it all happened behind closed doors.
She told the BBC: "This is one of the longest-running industries [adult content creation] to exist and we face injustice and discrimination that other industries don't. We are all professionals," adding that they were "just trying to do our jobs".
