1) Lolly Badcock

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Lolly Badcock

Lolly Badcock has probably earned much of her reputation as an adult star through her appearances on the British subscription TV channel Spice Extreme.

Starting out her career as a pretty unspectacular legal teen performer called Little Miss Freckles, she transformed herself into a fetish queen of many talents and became the undoubted star of that channel and arguably the current biggest performer on any of the porn stations on British television.

We've never been completely sold on her name (although it is an improvement on her previous name) but we've always been utterly sold on her fantastic figure and delightfully naughty persona that she always plays with far better acting talents than you would normally see from an adult star.

2) Alicia Rhodes

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Alicia Rhodes

Although (as with Lolly Badcock) she has perhaps found wider 'fame' as a performer on television stations, this time as a live phone-in performer, her worldwide standing is a million miles away from the softcore persona she adopts on television.

Restricted to simulated masturbation on television she may well be, but when let loose Alicia is one of the world's most consistently reliable hardcore performers particularly in the anal genre. Appearances on many extreme sites as well as a constant sideline in double penetration and facial cumshot content, she shows herself to be a woman of many talents.

Perhaps not the most naturally pretty of the girls in this list, her curvaceous figure and sense of humour make her an attractive proposition and she's one of our most successful stars outside of the UK

3) Sophie Dee

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Club Sophie Dee

Although she's a relative newcomer to the industry, her appearance on a number of hardcore sites with a particular leaning towards those of a particularly plump backside suggest that she is a star in great demand, and understandably so.

 Matching big blue eyes to flowing blonde hair and a sublimely curvy figure, she's a classic porn star figure in many ways with the advantage of no notable surgical adjustments. Her official site is taking off very impressively and you would imagine that it can't be long before it's picked up by a big network. At the moment though, Sophie is busy in America and seems sure to follow in the footsteps of Alicia Rhodes as our next busty blonde hardcore star.

4) Elizabeth Lawrence

Notable site(s) you can see her on: -
Squirting Files, UK Amateur Sex Land

Not one of our most immediately recognisable names, perhaps because she's opted out of having a crap pseudonym. Instead, she adopts a pretty upper-class sounding name that contrasts nicely with the hardcore action she often partakes in.

She's allegedly now calling herself as a performer after her full birth name, Elizabeth Michelle Lawrence, because relatives of an author with the same name complained. There aren't many porn performers who use their middle name, that's for sure. Although she's yet to appear on a site that would mark her out as an out-and-out star or in a film that would similarly mark her out, she consistently excels in a variety of genres from lesbian to female ejaculation to even bukkake. You're guaranteed a good time if you see her name.

5) Faye Rampton

Notable site(s) you can see her on: -
UK Student House, Faye & Sandie

Listed by some sites as 'the rudest woman in England', Faye has made a lot of appearances on cumshot, bukkake and 'tiny tit' sites and marked herself out immediately as a really good all-round star.

Her partnership with Sandie Caine, who narrowly missed this list, is particularly notable and has yielded some great lesbian content - not something you can say very regularly about British content. Now mostly residing on crummy phone-in stations, her hardcore videos are well worth speaking out and her appearances on UK Student House are always an endorsement of a performer's qualities - they don't use crap performers.

6) Flick Shagwell

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Four Finger Club

Much of Flick's success has been in American productions, as you can perhaps gather by her Austin Powers-esque pseudonym, but she's a British girl made good.

Her particular speciality is anal but has recently 'opened up' a bit more to other genres, literally, in the case of her appearance on several extreme penetration and insertion sites where she takes a liking for a fence post most notably. Again, she's a reliable and consistent performer as well as being extremely pretty without having found out-and-out success that she perhaps deserves. But she's easily one of our very best hardcore stars.

7) Layla Jade

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Porn British

She's only 27 years old, but it already feels like she's been around for a lot longer than that. Making her debut in 1998 as an 18 year old alongside the legendary British gonzo producer Ben Dover, she has compiled almost 500 movie appearances altogether, many of them in the USA.

She's now become something of a porn guru through her website How 2 Get Into Porn and several internet and magazine columns.

She's also had mainstream media recognition when she appeared in the X-rated music video Plug Me In for avant-garde electronic duo Add (N) To X appearing alongside the sadly retired Nadia (see below).

8) Poppy Morgan

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - XXX Porn Parties

Although 24 now, don't be surprised if you still see Poppy popping up on teen sites these days - her youthful appearance shows no sign of maturing and she can still pull off this content. Mind you, she can pull off most content, she's generally that good.

Her movie The Wedding is still subject to perhaps as much debate as any British porn movie as it alleges to portray her actual wedding and a hen night that involves lesbian orgies and threesomes throughout a honeymoon. She has been heavily featured on the Porn Week show, elevating her to becoming one of the bigger stars in the industry right now.

9) Roxy Jezel

Notable site(s) you can see her on: -
Sperm Swallowers, Oral Quickies

To say Roxy Jezel is something of an unpredictable star would be a big understatement. Born in East London of English and Thai parents, she's been portrayed as an Oriental, Indian, American and British star and has starred in softcore modelling and rough anal videos in equal measure.

She won Jenna's America Sex Star series in 2006 to become Club Jenna's first contract non-Caucasian star and has also nudged into the mainstream with a cameo in an episode of Entourage. She's starred in perhaps less British content than the rest of the girls in this list, but you can tell that accent anywhere!

10) Sahara Knite

Notable site(s) you can see her on: - Porn British

Probably the most controversial name on this list in that she's probably the only full-time British Muslim adult performer, as well as being an escort in her 'spare' time, Sahara is one of the few well-known performers of Indian sub-continental origin in the industry.

She's also slender and beautiful, but generally underused, I think. Surprisingly, she hasn't really crossed over to America as much as I would have expected, but by staying within these shores for the most part, she's compiled as formidable a selection of appearances as anyone over here right now.

More of her please!

Honourable Mentions

We thought it would be wrong to finish this list without throwing in a few mentions for stars who are no longer associating themselves with the industry or have, in the case of Mary Millington, sadly passed away.

Millington will always be best known for her appearance in Come Play With Me, but Oh Nurse! and the controversial Convent Of Lust showed her to be a potential fetish star of great standing. She was an ultimately tragic figure, but she opened the doors for more modern stars than you could possibly calculate.

Nadia (sometimes known as Pixie) quit the industry in 2004 to attend university but her portfolio of lesbian and glamour performances will mark her out as one of our best stars for a long time to come. Her husky voice and naughty disposition as well as the fact that she used the spoken word as well as ANY star in the industry means that she will be much missed for as long as she stays out of the industry which wil, hopefully, not be for too long.

Michelle Thorne has since attempted to launch a mainstream media career with an appearance on The X Factor seeing her attempt to launch a pop career, and sadly failing. She was always a decent porn star but always seemed far more comfortable within the glamour modelling market.

Meanwhile, Lea Walker had marginally more success with a lengthy run on Big Brother 7 and now co-hosts a radio show with fellow contestant Richard Newman. But her portfolio of porn is much lengthier than you might have believed and is well worth checking out, y'know!

We hope you enjoyed our countdown and that you enjoy the rest of our British Week!
