Former X-Factor Australia star Joel Adams 'seriously considered joining adult website OnlyFans to stay afloat' amid the Covid pandemic
X-Factor star Joel Adams has revealed how he considered joining OnlyFans after his career was put on hold during the Covid pandemic.
The 24-year-old said a friend suggested he set up an account on the subscription-based adult site after his tour in the US was cancelled and he moved back home to Brisbane with no income.
'I seriously had that conversation at one point,' Joel told The Daily Telegraph.

'I considered it for a week. I've got mates who do it and they make over $20,000 a month. So yeah, I was thinking about it for a bit.'
He said he decided not to join the site because he wants to be 'taken seriously and to do that I can't do anything like OnlyFans.'
OnlyFans is a subscription-based website where content can range from something as innocent as a suggestive selfie all the way to hardcore pornography.

Joel rose to fame after starring on The X Factor in 2016 and releasing his song Please Don't Go.
Following his appearance on the singing show, he moved to the US and is now being managed by Patriot Management.
Joel was forced to move back home to Brisbane due to the global pandemic and has been supporting The Veronicas on their Australian tour.

Last year, Love Island's Edyn 'Mac' Mackney joined OnlyFans during the coronavirus pandemic and is now selling raunchy photos and videos of herself for a monthly fee.
She's certainly not the only reality star on OnlyFans, as Love Island's Vanessa Sierra also creates raunchy content.
While she didn't tell fans the exact amount she earns, Vanessa recently revealed that other OnlyFans stars earn between $13,000 to $643,000 AUD per month.
