A Lanarkshire teacher who was sacked from a Glasgow east end school for selling X-rated photos on OnlyFans has been struck off.
Kirsty Buchan from Coatbridge left her job at Bannerman High School when her side hustle was revealed. Pupils discovered the full-frontal content leaving some parents furious.
The physics teacher claimed she only started posting the images to make money amid a pay row. She late claimed to have made £60,000 in just one month by sharing photos of herself on the adult site.
Glasgow City Council then launched an investigation into Buchan and referred the case to the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS), reports the Daily Record.

The 34-year-old mum of one’s case went before a disciplinary panel where she faced three allegations against her.
The education watchdog found that she had failed to conceal her identity and profession, and that her behaviour lacked integrity.
It comes just a few days after she blasted education bosses for their “Victorian values”, while saying she was too busy to attend the hearing – as she was going to be doing a photo-shoot for her OnlyFans site.
She said: “The way I’ve been treated in the school and the education system has been very one-sided and unfair.
“They have applied Victorian values to behaviour that is socially acceptable in 2025 and written it up as though I am suffering from poor morality.”
The GTCS said that between 2022 and 2023 Buchan set up an OnlyFans page using the moniker ‘Jessica Jackrabbitx’ and used the profile to sell explicit photos and videos.
It is said her bio on her page read, ‘good teacher gone bad really bad’, and made reference to posting ‘big t**s and sexy tight body’ photos ‘every couple of days’.
They also said she failed to ensure that her profile could not be accessed by any member of the public including those under 18 without them needing to log in or subscribe to OnlyFans.
Gary Burton, solicitor and presenting officer for the GTCS said Ms Buchan had “used her profession as a selling tool”, appeared to have justified her actions in newspaper interviews and that Bannerman High School was “now synonymous with having an OnlyFans teacher”.
The GTCS found that all allegations against Ms Buchan had been proven and decided that she should be struck off on Monday afternoon. Mr Burton recommended that it should be two years before she can reapply for teacher registration.
Buchan had previously defended her decision to join OnlyFans.
She told the Record last week: “The reality is that I live my life according to proper values. I’m loyal and decent and I treat people properly. And I know I was a very good teacher because I really cared about the kids I taught.
“I’d have loved to have carried on with both but that was taken away from me.
“It really just makes me feel sad, to give me a life ban and make out that I’m a bad teacher when opposite is true.”
She added: “People just need to get over it. What I do is not hurting anyone.”
