A woman earning a fortune selling her used tights has revealed that her new boyfriend thought she was “strange” for her career – but is now cashing in on the act himself, too.
Lizzy Groombridge, 30, often hits the headlines thanks to her 6ft 3in height and long legs.
The mum-of-three has flogged her used tights for a whopping $50,000 (USD) (£38,000) and previously admitted to earning £150,000 (USD) (£114,000) a year from selling her size nine foot pictures.

But while she’s making a fortune, it’s not all been smooth sailing – especially within her love life – as she claims her new beau, Ollie, 27, called her “strange” for the lucrative role.
Now, though, he’s cashing in on it too; with the pair earning £7,000 a month.
“I met him on Tinder and at first, he thought it was easy [money] and had a closed view on it,” Lizzy, from Cornwall, told Need To Know.
“He had never really known anything about the non-conventional way I make money.
“But then he realised how hard it is to market and establish a brand in order to be successful.
“He [also saw] that the opportunities were far greater than being in the average 9-5 job.
“While he thought I and my career was strange at first, he now supports me in what I do.
“He even works less hours at his job to work alongside me, too.”
Lizzy previously revealed that she was earning upwards of £5,000 monthly making content with her now ex-girlfriend, Candie Dixon.
At 4ft 11in, the height difference between her and Lizzy not only made them a healthy income, but also brought the attention of trolls – who mistook them for mum and daughter.
The pair called it quits in March 2024, with the mum-of-three finding love with Ollie only a few weeks later.
And while it’s still early days in their relationship, they’re already very comfortable with each other – despite her being five inches taller than him.
She said: “He helps me film videos, such as height humiliation, and he even lets me humiliate him as content.
“It’s been easy for him to see the potential for our future.
“Everyone sells themselves in employment to strenuous jobs for years we won’t get back.
“I don’t see what’s wrong with this – I’m being myself, selling my product and I have full control over everything.
“It’s crazy the money you can make doing what we do.”
Lizzy previously shared that due to her online presence, she’s often judged during the school pick-up – with her kids, aged 13, nine and five [not named for privacy reasons] not invited to their friends’ houses.
And says she “can’t go anywhere” without being recognised.
She added: “Everyday, at least one person to my face, or behind my back, makes a comment or laughs at me.
“I feel like I live two lives; one as Lizzy Long Legs and the other as a mum doing her best to get by.
“Yes, I do stand out, but it means I can live comfortably in this world.
“Something that makes me an outcast, also makes me money.
“People can judge all they want, they don’t pay my bills.”
