A nurse who despaired at her job in palliative care during the Covid epidemic has completely changed her life - by becoming a Babestastion model. Megan Rox said she was really struggling in dealing with the devastating impact of the killer virus in her work.
She had been working in healthcare since she was 19, but was contacted by the racy TV channel which saw some of her smouldering pictures on Instagram. Now the ex-nurse from Birmingham has said her life has been transformed by her role dealing with callers on live TV.
Although her family was shocked by the change, Megan, 26, said she was happy that she’d made the swap in an interview with the Daily Star. She said: “It has literally been life-changing. It has changed my life for the better, I can’t deny that. Mentally I was in such a bad place and now I feel like a whole new person again.”

Before palliative care Megan worked in nightclubs - but she said becoming a healthcare worker was her way of “giving back”. However the incredibly tough environment in palliative care during Covid, with so many struck down, left her struggling mentally.
She said: “I don’t know how I got through it. It was very hard and I would get home, have a shower, curl into bed and I had to go to sleep straight away just to block it all out. It was an awful time. After a while I couldn’t take it any more. It was awful because visitors couldn’t come in and see their families and it was a palliative care unit so it was a very tough time.

“It was very, very intense and I worked there for five years. You see all sorts there and it is a bit of an eye opener to be honest and I was quite young when I started there.
“It really matured me in a way. I do miss a few of the residents I looked after. I was there almost every day and it was like a family so not going in there now is sad.”
Babestation producers sent her a direct message on Instagram - and she decided to give it a go - even though her family had a bit of a surprise when she told them. Megan said: “They were obviously a bit shocked because they thought I would stick to healthcare.
“My friends were a bit more like ‘go for it’ because they could see how drained I was during the pandemic and I needed a fresh start.
“It is literally the polar opposite to what I used to do. I had to get used to working on a computer and being on TV. It was a crazy change but I got used to it in the end and I feel like I know what I’m doing now.”
