Once upon a time, the university grind meant sleepless nights buried in books, cheap lager, and the occasional regrettable hookup. But for Lily Phillips, Sheffield University alumna and viral OnlyFans sensation, her undergrad days played out a little differently—say, sleeping with 100 men in a day differently. Now, she’s allegedly trading in late-night livestreams for lecture halls, enrolling in a Master’s program in Digital Media and Society. And if that doesn’t sound like the setup for a perfectly curated PR stunt, I don’t know what does.
Phillips, 23, shot to online infamy after orchestrating a centurion-level bedroom conquest that racked up 10 million views on YouTube. With over a million Instagram disciples in tow, she’s decided it’s time to “expand her social media knowledge” in a more academic setting. Because who better to break down digital media than someone who broke the internet?
Speaking to The Sheffield Tab, Lily said, “I’m really excited to get back into education after the whirlwind since leaving. I was a bit distracted during my time at university, so I’m ready to do it properly this time.” Translation: Zoom lectures weren’t nearly as lucrative as subscription-based content.
Her initial attempt at academia—studying nutrition with a foundation year in business—fizzled out during the pandemic. As she once admitted on an RTM Records podcast, she made the bold call to ditch online lectures for an online empire, opting for OnlyFans over obscurity. Turns out, a dodgy internet connection and an “F*** it” attitude can be the foundation of a million-dollar career.
Now, she’s poised to re-enter the hallowed halls of Sheffield, ready to trade in high heels for highlighters—at least, that’s the claim. But let’s be real: this isn’t just about coursework. Lily’s also hyped for a second shot at the student experience she missed the first time around. “I never really got the uni experience because of the pandemic, so I’m buzzing for Leadmill Fridays and West Street crawls,” she said, proving that some things never change.
Meanwhile, Sheffield’s student body is already gearing up for her arrival. One current student, Bartholomew, who’s in the same Master’s program, told The Sheffield Tab, “It’s actually so exciting to have a celeb on the course. Everyone knows who Lily is, and I’m really looking forward to hearing her insight on digital media as someone who uses it for her career frequently. I’ve watched some of her content before, just to check the editing, of course, and it’s great!” Nice save, mate.
Whether she’s bunking up in postgrad halls or locking in a cushy penthouse suite remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—Lily Phillips will be the most talked-about BNOC (Big Name On Campus) since that one guy who set a firework off in the library.
Oh, and by the way—check the date. You April fools!
