21. Kerry Louise
Kerry Louise, British pornstar and escort, started working in the UK adult industry in 2004 when she kicked off her career as a glamour model. She migrated to a hardcore film career in 2009 working for the Killergram website.
Since then she has worked a lot in the USA for studios such as Naughty America, Twistys, Brazzers and Reality Kings.
She has her navel and clitoris pierced and sports plenty of tattoos including one across her left bicep with the motto ‘Act Like a Princess Fuck Like a Slut’.
This British pornstar performed in a lot of group sex and orgy scenes but her best work was with her big tits and you can catch some of the action on titles like Busty Sweethearts (2011), A MILF’s Tale 2 (2011) and Rack Jobs (2010).
Born in Nottingham in 1986, Louise retired from the industry in 2011 but remains a popular past performer on tube hosting sites such as XVideos. She is ranked 259th most watched porn star in the world (38th in the UK and 232nd in Europe).
20. Tiger Benson
Giving some breadth and diversity to our rundown of the British porn scene, we give you the talents of the London-born, British-Asian, Tiger Benson. Also known as Tiger Juggs, Koko Li and Sweet Tiger, Benson is a quirky performer who started out in 2005 in exhibitionist porn.
Originally a size A cup, she had her breasts enlarged in 2007 to an E cup and now specializes in BBW, busty and big-tit movies. She went on to have a second surgery in 2013 and now sports an enormous HH set of boobs.
Much of her work is in the fetish world and her scenes can vary from cuckolding and male-milking to giantess porn and foot-worship.
Born in 1983, Benson has worked with plenty of big name studios including Reality Kings, House of Taboo, BangBros, and DDF Productions.
Dubbed the ‘Asian Queen of Sleaze’, she now produces content for her own website, Tiger Juggs but is still the 66th most watched porn star in Europe (16th in the UK and 254th in the world) according to data from XVideos where she has clocked up total video views of over 116 million.
19. Hannah Harper
Born in Devon in 1982, Harper started modelling in London in 2001 at her then-husband’s suggestion before moving to Los Angeles in 2002.
It wasn’t long before her natural assets and talent was picked up by scouts and she starred with fellow Brit, Ben Dover, in her debut film. She continued her modelling career and appeared as a centrefold in both Penthouse and Club Magazine. Harper also took to the strip circuits as a feature dancer.
Working exclusively with Sin City for a time as well as Legend Entertainment, she began ramping her career down in 2006 by only taking on softcore movies to concentrate on her degree in psychology. She has since retired (in 2008) but remains one of the most immensely popular British pornstars on the tube sites. Despite being off the circuit for over ten years, she is still in the top 100 porn stars regularly viewed across the major tube sites.
She is particularly admired for her oral action and solo work and you can catch some pretty decent scenes on the Big Wet Tits 4 (2007) title by Elegant Angel.
18. Leah Jaye
Born in Croydon in 1986, Leah Jaye is now retired having only been active during the 2006-2011 period; however, she remains in the top 50 hottest British porn stars and is ranked in the top 130 worldwide.
This is largely due to a back-catalog of videos that feature some very popular scenes. Although she only has around 50 clips on a site like XVideos, these have earned her more than 130 million views.
Her popularity is no accident and it is her mixed-race Indian/English heritage which gives her a unique selling point. Jaye also goes by the name Leah Joshi and has a fan base that particularly enjoy her interracial scenes and ‘desi’ porn genre.
She has worked for names like Team Skeet, Fame Digital and Santa Latina as well for the production company of fellow British/Indian adult performer, Sahara Knite.
Although Knite has now gone on to more mainstream fame (Game of Thrones), they have performed some scenes together which are well worth a watch.
17. Jasmine Webb
Ebony porn star, Jasmine Webb was born in London in 1983 and has been active in the adult film industry since 2007. A hard-working performer, she has worked for plenty of the big name hardcore porn studios including DDF Network, Fake Hub, Ass Traffic, Mean Bitches, Dogfart, Brazzers and Digital Playground
She also goes by the name of Jasmine Spits and appears in plenty of interracial movies but also gives memorable performances as part of a threesome or when taking big cocks. She has worked on some fetish content including bondage, strap-ons and foot worship.
If you can find a copy of Work Hard, Fuck Harder (2016) or Pornstars Like it Big 17 (2013) then you will immediately see why she makes the cut on our list of best British porn stars.
16. Rebecca More
Born in Heathrow in 1980, Rebecca More is also an escort as well as an adult movie performer. She started performing in 2011 and is still active.
Ranked as the 12th most watched British female porn star on XVideos, More has a narrow field of studios that she has worked with but specialises for them in MILF, big-cock, doctor sex and big-tit hardcore.
The majority of her content is released through Brazzers, BangBros, Stiffia, Private and Bluebird Films and often has a strong roleplay element involved. In fact, she has performed in a couple of parody porn films including Queen of Thrones.
Her age means that she gets a lot of gigs in the step-mom market but this is no bad thing as she handles the role very well. Her own website is where you will find her most recent material which is getting more extreme in content and features bukkake, gangbang and deepthroating.
Another British porn star that seems to get better with age, More is one of those talents that oozes a natural charm and conveys a real sense of enjoyment.
15. Sarah Jane Hamilton
We have to throw the hat of Sarah Jane Hamilton into the ring here. Born in 1971 and active during the 1990s, the woman is a bit of a legend.
She started a career in nude modelling in London before crossing the Atlantic in 1992 with the help of a connection with the Filipono porn star Cumisha Amado. Her first stage name was Victoria Secret but the threat of legal action from the lingerie company of the same name forced a re-think.
She retired from the adult film industry in 1995 but continued with a career in adult entertainment by taking herself onto the exotic dancing circuit. Her ties with the industry didn’t end their and she married the fetish film producer Ernest Greene (Ira Levine) but they have since divorced.
Hamilton was known specifically for her squirting and anal scenes as well for being a bit of a sourpuss on camera. It was this dour ‘mistress’ disposition which gave her roles an intensity of character that made her both famous and popular with her US fans.
Interestingly, she was immortalized in her own 3-part comic book series which she co-wrote and collaborated on with Revolutionary Comics.
You can only catch a few retro clips of her work on the tube sites but you will understand the appeal when you see them.
14. Georgie Lyall
With an effervescent personality, long blonde hair, blue eyes and an all-natural physique, Scottish porn star Lyall ticks all the archetypal boxes for success in the world of porn.
Born in Glasgow in 1984, she is a pretty prolific performer and has worked for a lot of European porn studios including Czech AV plus US studios like Reality Kings. Bizarrely (or maybe not given her pale Scottish complexion) she has also worked with the All Japanese Pass and Asian Street Meat brands.
Lyall is also a webcam model and a specialist performer for the Down-Blouse Loving site.
Ranked in the top 40 most watched British porn sites on XVideos, she is a popular performer that brings an amateur vibe with professionalism and energy to everything she does.
She performs mainly traditional genres and you wont find any extreme content in her repertoire but do check out her scenes for Porn Stars Like It Big with the Brazzers Network for some exceptional footage.
13. Emma Butt
Born in Bognor Regis in 1985, Emma Butt is also known as ‘Mistress Pandora’. She is a British porn star, dominatrix, escort and adult model.
Butt began glamour modelling at the early age of 16 but had to take some time off almost immediately with the birth of her first child in 2004 when she was just 17. Her second child followed almost immediately after in 2005 but her return to the adult industry was to benefit with her natural boob size increased in motherhood from a B cup to a C cup.
However, in 2011, she increased her rack again, this time implants taking them to an impressive G cup.
Her work is characterized by her dominant stature (Butt is almost 6’ tall), huge tits and her glasses (!). More recently, as she now tips into mid-30s age bracket, she has been starring as the ubiquitous, but much loved, MILF.
As a result, you can find much of her work online with Butt in the role of step-mom or busty housewife. There is also quite a few bondage scenes and some fetish content available from her earlier days.
She’s worked with all the big studios from A Good Release to X Famster and everything in between. However, if you want to catch her best work, check out the scenes she has filmed with 21 Sextury as Mistress Pandora.
The 7th most watched porn star from the UK, Butt has a total of 271 million video views on XVideos.
12. Carmel Moore
Born in Eastbourne in 1985, Carmel Moore is of Iranian descent and began in glamour modelling at the age of 18 before she moved to California to break into the porn industry. However, unlike many Brits abroad, Moore also performed for a lot of European studios and has a good following both sides of the Atlantic.
Winning the 2007 UK Adult Film and Television Award for Best Actress, Moore has worked with plenty of studios including Reality Kings, Zero Tolerance, Deutschland Porno and Fetish Film.
She is known for her exotic looks and her tan skin combined with blonde hair and green-eyes makes for a hypnotic focus to her performances. She has had a breast augmentation and sports a rack measuring 34E which enables her to trade on the Big-Tit movie market.
Moore has focused on a pretty traditional career path and has a diverse range of scenes to enjoy including facials, anal, solo and softcore lesbian scenes. She does have an excellent blowjob technique and is an enthusiastic and hungry performer.
11. Nikki Jayne
Nikki Jayne was born in Wigan in 1985 and had a Catholic education before taking a walk on the wild side when, at the age of just 18, she had breast implants.
Originally a tiny 34A, Jayne upped her rack to a bustier 34C. After a series of office jobs and then a stint as a fitness instructor, she started working as a glamour model. In 2007, she was modelling evening gowns at a show at the NEC Birmingham where she was talent-spotted by scouts working for Harmony Films.
Just a few days later, she was flown to Czech Republic where she filmed her debut movie The Initiation of Nikki Jayne.
Since then she has gone on to star in a number of porn films, mostly released through either Harmony Films or Vivid Entertainment and filmed in Europe.
Her performances were notable and she was nominated for many industry awards from AVN to XRCO, XBIZ and Hot d’Or. She is still under contract with Vivid though she hasn’t released anything new for a few years. and you can catch some of her performances via her official website.
An archetypal porn beauty, Jayne is 5’ 9”, toned and athletic with long blonde hair and blue eyes with an on-screen charm that will seduce most audiences. If you only get to see her in action in one movie then let this be Catch Me for which she was nominated for two AVN awards in 2010; Best Solo Scene and Best Double Penetration Scene.
10. Ella Hughes
Born in 1995, Hughes is a newish porn star to the UK scene but is already proving to be hugely popular with audiences.
A petite redhead, she is just 5’ 3”with an all-natural 32-26-32 figure. As well as porn movies, Hughes is a popular British cam model and has also appeared in plenty of top-shelf magazines including Razzle, Escort and Score.
Aged just 23, she has already produced a lot of content, all of which is available via her website, and features some BDSM and fetish scenes.
Whether it’s G/G, B/G or solo, she has a sizzling on-screen persona that has earned her the title of 11th most popular British porn star according to XVideos. She has racked up more than 154 million views on the platform from her 400+ clips and is also the 301st most popular global adult performer and in the top 60 from Europe.
She has worked with studios as diverse as Teens Do Porn and Big Tits at School to Vixen, Lady Fyre and House of Taboo as well as the big names such as Brazzers, Blacked, DDF Network and Fake Taxi.
We couldn’t narrow her best work down to just one scene as the diversity of the scenes she works in is, in some ways, one of her best qualities.
However, her lesbian scenes are a real pleasure to watch, particularly those that feature domination.
9. Jasmine Jae
Born in Birmingham (UK) in 1981, Jasmine Jae is a prolific British porn star and has appeared in over 250 titles. This, despite the fact that she only came to industry in 2012 at the age of 31. She is ranked as the 4th most watched porn star from the UK and is also in the top 30 from Europe.
As well as winning the 2015 Paul Raymond Award for Best Female Performer, the 2018 AVN Award for Female Foreign Performer of the Year and the 2017 XBIZ Award for Best Scene in Parody Release (Storm of Kings (2016)), she has also been nominated for over 20 other gongs.
Jae has worked with pretty much all of the major porn studios from the big names like Naughty America, Dogfart Network and Wankz to some niche ones like Gym Fuck, Kinky In-Laws and Mile High Official.
She is married to fellow porn performer and adult video producer, Ryan Ryder and has two breast implant ops during her career and now sports impressive 32E boobs.
According to Jae herself, her best work is when she played Lady Grabem in the parody Down on Abby 6 and as Miss Scarlet in Murder Most Horny.
She doesn’t lie and both have some great sex scenes but you can also enjoy her bondage, bukkake and watersports content through the major tube sites.
We can also recommend The Big Bamboozle (2017) a great gangbang performance plus All Access: Jasmine Jae (2016) which features her first interracial scenes plus a double vaginal penetration.
8. Gemma Massey
Gemma Massey, born in Tamworth in 1984, was originally a very successful glamour model in the UK tabloids and men’s magazines before moving into the porn industry.
She has had a very off and on again relationship with the sector and started out making a few movies with Bluebird Films in 2011 before retiring in 2013.
She then returned to her former career as an adult model but then announced, in 2016, some new releases (apparently filmed before she ‘retired’). She has since taken up a career as a webcam model and basically now does softcore solo porn. She is part of the SocialGlamour network with her own website on which she sells photos and videos of herself and keeping her many fans happy.
Massey is best known for her love-affair with cosmetic surgery and has had plenty of sessions under the knife, famously having four breast augmentations, a Brazilian buttlift and lip implants.
Though she was only active for a couple of years, her fame as made her pretty popular in the UK and she is also in the top 60 watched British porn stars on XVideos. That’s not bad for a career which lasted only two years and ended more than six years ago.
Her best scenes are without a doubt those she filmed with Bluebird Films including Only Fools and Arses (2012) and Nikita XXX (2013).
7. McKenzie Lee
Born in Leicester in 1979, McKenzie Lee started out as a strip club dancer around the West Midlands city of Birmingham before making adult movies.
Initially working with Private Media and then the Playboy channel, she hosted adult television shows including Babe Cast and Night Calls. She moved to the U.S. in 2005 and hosted Playboy’s coverage of the 2005 AVN Awards. It was here that she met Jenna Jameson who signed her up as a contract girl for Club Jenna.
Though she left the industry shortly after winning the 2006 AVN Best New Starlet Award, Lee returned to the adult film business in 2009 after having her two children.
She signed an exclusive contract for Digital Playground but abandoned this just a few months to become an independent artist. Since then her career has been pretty prolific and varied. She is still active now and then and is pretty popular in Asia but the latest news is that she is working on the launch of a swingers’ website.
There is a big range of content available to appreciate the talents of McKenzie Lee but our favourite picks are from the later part of her career with two titles produced with Elegant Angel and Digital Sin; Busty POV and Manuel Ferrara is a MILF Whore.
She has stated herself that her mother was a bit of a nymphomaniac and was sexually very open. If researchers could identify the gene that she gave to her daughter then the field of genetic modification could get very interesting!
6. Jasmine James
Known for her brightly colored hair and bold look, Jasmine James has been active in the adult industry since 2008 when she started out at the age of 18. She is still active though most of her work is now in presenting, modelling and as a ‘brand ambassador’, she has a great back catalog of adult movies available online.
Currently the 3rd most watched British porn star and in the top 30 worldwide, James is known for her hardcore and energetic scenes filmed with studios like Fake Hub, Brazzers, KillerGram Network and BDSM XXX.
Born in London in 1990, she has enhanced boobs sized at 34F and stands at just 5’ 4”; with her petite frame, this makes her big-cock scenes eye-wateringly good.
There are more than 330 scenes to enjoy on XVideos with our favorites being those filmed when she is role playing as a MILF. With her bright red hair, there is something Jessica Rabbit about her which is mesmerizing!
5. Kiki Minaj
Though born in Wolverhampton in 1985, Kiki Minaj (also known as Minnie) has Jamaican origins. The shared Caribbean heritage is one of the obvious reasons behind her choice of stage name but probably owes more to the similarity in the size of ass shared with the rapper Nicki Minaj.
It has certainly done Kiki no harm (as many porn stars before her can attest) in having a trademark name that is a bit gimmicky.
Our Minaj is a popular British porn star and ranks as the top 14th performer from this country according to viewing stats from XVideos. She is also ranked well out of her European counterparts (64th) and is in the top 400 porn stars in the world. With her videos being viewed over 170 million times on this one platform alone, she certainly has no lack of fans and for obvious reasons.
Minaj is a specialist in hardcore scenes and performs in lots of big-cock porn as well as doing well in the anal, blowjob and big tits category as well as solo-fisting. In addition, she is a popular ebony star and ranks well for interracial scenes.
She has worked with plenty of the top studios including Reality Kings, 21 Sextury, DDF, Brazzers and Deutschland Porno.
Starting her career in 2013 at the age of 28, Minaj has augmented 32E breasts and is just 5’ 1” tall. Tattooed with a petite buil, she sports a killer ass which she puts to excellent use in her performances.
Minaj is still actively making movies in the industry and you can catch up on her pretty sizeable catalog of clips.
4. Stella Cox
Though technically Italian (she was born in Rome in 1990), Cox claims British nationality and for the purposes of most porn sites, she does trade on this.
As it goes, Cox is resident in the UK and to our knowledge has not lived in Italy since she was born. Certainly, her Southern-European looks have not done her any disservice in the industry and the combination of the English charm and Italian prowess have become her trademark.
As far as her career goes, there aren’t many studios that she hasn’t worked with and her CV reads more like a Who’s Who of the industry. From the big names like 21 Sextury, Brazzers, Dogfart, Ass Traffic and Fake Hub to Euro Girls on Girls, Medical Fetishes, Anal Inspector and VR Cosplay X, there are also not many genres she hasn’t covered.
Cox is the second most watched British porn star (6th from Europe and 11th globally) according to XVideos’s stats. It’s hardly surprising therefore that she has notched up almost half a billion video views across her 200+ movies (800+ clips on XVideos).
She started out in 2013 at the age of 22 and won Newcomer of the Year in 2014 and has won and been nominated for plenty of gongs since.
An all-natural brunette with a decent 32E rack she has a youthful appearance, is an eager performer that clearly enjoys her job plus is willing to try most things. Her first interracial gangbang in 2016 was a particular treat for fans and is well worth catching.
Produced by the Dogfart network and titled Stella Cox in Blacks on Blondes, you wont be disappointed.
3. Paige Turnah
The 8th most viewed British porn star on the popular tube site XVideos, Paige Turnah has racked up more than 137 million video views on this one platform alone. She is also ranked in the top 100 porn stars in Europe and has a decent following worldwide which puts her in the top 350 performers.
Born in London in 1988, Turnah has an all-natural body and a 36E chest and stands at almost 6’ tall. A stunning brunette, she won the 2012 SHAFTA Award for Best New Starlet and despite taking a career break in 2013 continues to produce new content via her official website.
However, you can still find scenes through any one of the numerous studios she has worked with including BangBros, Dogfart, Fake Hub, Digital Playground, Brazzers and Harmony Vision.
Turnah seems to show a particular energy on screen when it comes to her interracial porn scenes though she excels at most hardcore content she appears in.
Although her early work is definitely worth catching, Turnah is one of those porn stars that has improved with age. From an eager rising star to a confident and sultry screen goddess, she has that je ne sais quoi that most newcomers can only ever dream of achieving.
From bondage and watersports to anal, oral and double penetration, she has covered most genres and is likely to appeal to a wide range of porn fan.
2. Tanya Tate
Ranked 106th most watched British porn star in the world (XVideos) and hitting the 18th spot in the UK (73rd in Europe), Tanya Tate is another popular adult performer from the UK.
Born in Liverpool in 1979, Tate starter her career in 2009 and took to the industry immediately. Her fame was given a boost in the British Isles in 2010 when one of the features she starred in for a Television X series was reported to have featured a famous Irish Gaelic Athletic Association star, Greg Jacobs.
Tate had taken herself on a tour of the island meeting regular amateurs and filming hardcore and softcore porn with them but Jacobs denied any involvement. The result was some great publicity for Tate and Jacobs eventually (in 2013) starred in another of her feature series (Tanya Tate’s Casting Couch).
As well as juggling her porn career, Tate became a regular columnist for a British adult magazine in 2010 and started directing her own films in 2011. She is an outspoken and well-regarded porn star who supports the industry well. She has appeared in a couple of documentaries about the world of pornography as well as appearing on the cover of the mainstream men’s mag, FHM.
Tate is well known for her love of cosplay and goes by her alter-ego Lady Titan. In fact, she has launched a couple of ventures in the area including a comic book, action figures and a blog site Hollywood Gone Geek.
She has worked with most of the main players in the industry including Brazzers, Reality Kings, Sexy Momma, Digital Playground and Naughty America. Her work has also earned her plenty of AVN, XBIX, XRCO and other industry awards including MILF of the Year and Best MILF.
Her specialty is in mature roles and, being bi-curious in her personal life, for lesbian action.
If you only catch her in one title then check out Mummy Mia for which she won the 2010 SHAFTA Award for Best Sex Scene with Wayne Scott Fox.
1. Sophie Dee
With a world ranking in XVideos of number 11 and the most popular pornstar in Europe (and the UK), there can’t be much doubt that Sophie Dee should take the top spot of our top British Porn Star listing. With almost a billion views of her videos on just one platform, she is the adult industry equivalent of Instagram, if the social networking site had enormous breasts!
She has worked with pretty much all of the main porn studios in Europe and the US, including Brazzers, Team Skeet, Bangbros Network, Naughty America, Dogfart Network, Mofos Network, Ass Parade, Monsters Of Cock and Prime Euro.
Born in Wales in 1984, Dee is a diminutive 5’ 4” yet packing an impressive 34DD (sometimes reported as 36F) silicone rack. A hardcore performer, she entered the industry in 2005 at the age of 21 and has appeared in over 400 adult films (whilst also being parodied in various adult gaming titles and mobile porn games – like those featured over on AdultVisor). As well her mighty boobs, she is best known for her bubble butt and her squirting talents.
Dee lives in Los Angeles and works as both a producer and director within the industry. She is married to fellow pornstar and owner of the Valley Babes XXX modelling agency, Lee Bang.
A multiple AVN award nominee and winner of the 2011 title MissFreeOnes her best work is during the 2010-2011 period and, if you watch just one title, don’t miss out on the delights of Storm Squirters 6. It features an epic all-girl three-way scene which was nominated for an AVN.
Like many other adult stars, she now takes bookings on Cameo selling personalised videos to her fans. The platform has become one of the top ways to make money from the sex business, so if you want a message from one of the best British pornstars, you can get it delivered to your inbox!
That wraps up our list of the hottest female pornstars from the UK.
