As Zayna Alkhatib watched her close friend Louise's baby fight for her life in hospital with a hole in her heart, she vowed to give something back – the best way she knows.
So Zayna, who has been working as an escort for seven years, has doubled the amount of clients she sees each week to raise money for charity.
Closer last spoke to Zayna in 2008 when she boasted about splurging thousands on luxuries, but now she’s using her controversial career to do some good.

Zayna, from Manchester, says: “Louise’s daughter was born with a hole in her heart and spent two months in intensive care. Doctors thought she wouldn’t make it - it was terrifying.
"Thankfully she pulled though, but it really put things in perspective. I realized my life was shallow and that I needed to give something back – so I decided fundraise for charity.
"I signed up for a 10K run and vowed to donate £20 of my hourly earnings to charity. So far I’ve raised £2,000 for three charities but I hope to raise lots more.
"Now I can proudly say I’m doing something for the greater good. My clients think it's great and some of them have made donations to charity too.”
