After her initial success on reality television, Campos struggled to monetise her social media presence on mainstream platforms and instead launched a paid subscription channel on OnlyFans.

In addition to her online work, Campos was also a qualified nurse and had worked in the healthcare sector in her hometown.

Her family confirmed the death and requested privacy.
