Inside the luxury complex, dubbed Britain’s ‘OnlyFans towers’, cheeky millionaire influencer Belle Olivia is busy filming saucy scenes for her delighted fans – and says she’s all too happy to flash the fellas as she puts on a show.
An entourage of people crowd the diminutive Irish 24-year-old as she glides across the entrance hall of the highly swanky and prestigious skyscraper cluster in Manchester.
Belle is well known in the luxury development, where influencers reside at one of Manchester’s most sought after addresses.
But they are also known for causing havoc, with wild parties that cause complaints from the nine-to-fivers who are unhappy with the loud music, sex and drugs. Confident Belle, who goes by her OnlyFans handle, works hard for her money and is always ready to make content – even when it can prove controversial and a nightmare for the neighbours.
She said: “Manchester is the capital of OnlyFans and Deansgate Square is the best place to live.
“I have a few friends living here and we collaborate together. It’s great that we have our own community where we feel safe and among like-minded people. People here know there are OnlyFans models and everyone gets on with it because the building is filled with young creatives who have plenty of money.”
Belle’s apartment costs £3,000 a month.
She shares it with her partner of three years – and some-time OnlyFans partner-in-crime – Harry Offord, 27, known as Turbo Haych.
“I love to party,” said Belle. “Parties can happen any day of the week and at any time.
“If I have any drink with friends we’ll tend to make it Irish. We go out raving, I’m very big on the rave scene and love the sex, drugs and music.
“When I go out I’ll announce where I’m going on social media and I will get spotted when I’m out. I’m a bit of a celebrity. I’ll try and make as much content as I can, with me being filmed in action on a night out.
“You’d be surprised how many people like it when I’m together with Harry.
“I often get thrown out of places for getting up to no good, but my subscribers love that. It happens all the time. I’ve been thrown out of festivals for filming in tents and even been told to get out of portaloos.
“I was thrown out of a studio just this morning. I hired the room for a photoshoot but they didn’t like that I was connected to OnlyFans so they kicked us out and made us delete all the photos.
“Some brands will not be connected to us and are salty about it. Thankfully Deansgate isn’t like this at all. We are all welcome here, even if we do throw noisy parties. My friend has a four-bed apartment and they have a massive speaker and they get so many complaints.”
Belle said that parties back at her place can often turn into “opportunities for spontaneous content”.
“That’s what people like about me. I’m spontaneous and real. This is nothing like porn, it’s not scripted and false. It is all real,” she says.
“Even when I’m not partying I’m still up all night working. I am a night owl and working across so many time zones is a 24-hour job.”
The huge-windowed flats have great lighting for video footage and thankfully the new apartment she’s recently moved into in the East block doesn’t overlook other high rises.
“At least this way nobody is getting anything for free,” said Belle.
Belle was raised in Dublin and began her OF career as soon as she left school at 18.
She is at the height of her career and has been reported to pull in six-figure sums per month.
Her most-viewed video was filmed in Miami and raked in 56million views.
She pays Claudie Rutter, 27, and Charlotte Green, 28, of social media company Girl Next Door to run her many accounts, using them to raise profile of her OF activity.
Photographer Brad Bennett, 27, is also on her payroll and she spends an awful lot on giant shopping sprees and Amazon hauls when she feels stressed. She said: “I use the gym a lot here to keep trim and will often go downstairs into the quiet areas to work on my admin.
“But the best thing for me here is the security. I’ll sometimes get quite scary messages, from men who think I’m fair game for anything, but I know the security in here is on it and people who don’t live here won’t get past the door. I feel incredibly safe.”
Belle Olivia’s East-wing apartment is one of three, alongside the South and North buildings, that are connected by a central reception.
The West building is self-contained and a short walk away. The South building is the tallest building in Manchester at 200m and 67 storeys high.
The North building boasts a luxurious, spacious sun terrace. It has two floors of gym and a giant infinity pool.
All included in the rental price.
It has great communal areas where residents can work, spend time together and drink coffee.
There is a coffee shop which turns into a bar by night. Amazon parcels are delivered to reception and stay safe until residents pick them up.
There are dining facilities available to hire to host dinner parties and events outside of homes.
There are personal trainers to hire, private chefs to prepare and laundry services available for those willing to shell out for them.
Love Islanders and footballers reside there, but keep their residency low key, using private entrances to come and go.
Ex-Manchester City ace Sergio Aguero snapped up a £4million duplex in the development in 2021.
One resident, who does presenting work for TV and didn’t want to be named, said:
“I really can’t knock Deansgate as a place to live. It has a wonderful community feel and it’s full of young and hip people but it can be an absolute nightmare at night.” – The Sun
