Rachel Starr has gone from appearing in more than 200 adult movies to starring alongside Australian tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios in a new reality series for OnlyFans TV.
Starr and her fellow adult actress Sophie Stonehouse have appeared with Kyrgios in the show Smash City, which sees OnlyFans creators hit the Pickleball court in an attempt to win $20,000 in prize money.
The show was first teased by Kyrgios on March 1 in a clip featuring him and Starr enjoying a pickleball game.
'Who's your money on? Tennis meets Pickleball,' the post was captioned.
Kyrgios is co-hosting the show along with Stonehouse, while Starr will be the referee for the matches.
'I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general,' Kyrgios said.

While OnlyFans TV promises the show will feature 'safe-for-work content', the same can't be said for Starr's filmography.
She was inducted into the Adult Video News hall of fame in 2022 for her work, which includes movies like Cabana Cougar Club, Doctor Adventures and scores of other titles too graphic for us to list.
Kyrgios isn't just a fan of Pickleball - he has also invested in the on-trend sport.
After being invented in 1965, the sport has burst to prominence again in the last few years, with parks becoming completely taken over by adults and children playing the tennis-like game.
A combination of tennis, badminton and ping pong, Pickleball is played with paddles and a hollow, polymer ball on a court about a third of the size of what is used in tennis.
Some of the world's biggest celebrities have joined Kyrgios by getting behind the sport's Major League.
Players are drafted by teams owned by people such as LeBron James, Tom Brady and tech billionaire Mark Cuban.
Last February, Aussie cricket star Steve Smith also got involved by securing ownership rights to the Sydney Smash team.

Aussie former tennis star Renae Stubbs launched an extraordinary attack on the sport soon after news of Kyrgios's involvement broke in late 2022.
'Just to let everyone know, I will NOT be investing in a Pickleball franchise & will never turn a tv on to watch Pickleball,' she fumed on Twitter.
'I would rather watch pain dry. Why all these tennis players think Pickleball is worth investing in & not the game that made them all the $$ is beyond me.'
Kyrgios responded immediately to that rant, posting: 'lol I think [pickleball investors] LEBRON JAMES & KEVIN DURANT have a bit more of an idea what to invest in.'
'Not sure i mentioned Lebron and KD in my tweet NK. Also let me know how that ROI is in a year and prove me wrong mate. Or are they paying YOU!?' Stubbs replied.
Plenty of tennis fans had their say as well, with many backing Kyrgios for investing his money in whatever he likes.
The 30-year-old - who is still battling to return to the court after suffering serious knee and wrist injuries - is currently commentating on Wimbledon for talkSPORT after the BBC dropped him from its coverage.
This week, he mischievously claimed Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper are 'fighting over' Emma Raducanu, despite the British No.1 talking down romance rumours at the tournament.
Kyrgios also shocked Naomi Osaka by sitting in her player's box during her first-round match at the All England Club.

The Canberran, who is signed to Osaka's management group, is set to play mixed doubles with the Japanese star at the US Open in August.
Following her 6-4 7-6 win over Talia Gibson, Osaka was asked about Kyrgios in her player's box and she admitted she had no idea he was there.
'Oh, he was there? I did not hear anything, OK,' she said.
Osaka added: 'Oh, my God. I jokingly told someone, "Hey, I know Nick's around, maybe he wants to come to my match".
'But I was joking, because I know we're two completely different players. Honestly, I would have loved to come to his matches, because I know he's pretty fun.
'Yeah, I think that's also a big part of why we're different is because I know he kind of tells his box what to do, and he probably would have noticed if I was in there. I kind of zone out most of the time.
'That's a little embarrassing that he was there.'
