June 27, 2023 SOPHIE ANDERSON SPILLS THE TEA
THIS EPISODE CONTAINS VERY ADULT THEMES AND LOTS OF SWEARING.Sophie Anderson is one half of the legendary C*ck Destroyers. She's still not in touch with Rebecca More the other half of the porn duo that went on to host Slag Wars and had legions of LGBTQ+ fans. But in this exclusive chat she makes clear that she would be open to a reconciliation and reforming at some point. Which begs the question, is a return on the cards?The two years since the peak of the adult meme duo's fame have not been easy for Sophie, now with fellow porn actor Damian Oliver. She lost a breast implant to infection twice, had botched cosmetic surgery on her bum and has lost a lot of her hair. But now on the road to recovery, Sophie and Damian have driven up to Manchester and are talking to Graeme Smith in his actual front living room on the hottest day of the year. We hear over the next few episodes about how despite the split and all the rumours flying about... she might be open minded to a reconciliation with Rebecca to reform the cock destroyers, if the possibility came up... news that will send LGBTQ+ fans into a lather. We also hear about how her adult work has continues with Damian but working from a mobile home and how the two combatted drugs issues after getting involved with the chemsex scene and how they prevented themselves from being totally drawn in to the orbit of drugs and sex on the London scene. Over three episodes they tell their story in their own unorthodox way.
