West Ham have appointed Eve Vorley, a director of X-rated films such as ‘Lesbian Student Nurses’ and ‘Horny Housewives on the Job’, to their board.

Vorley, whose real name is Emma Benton-Hughes, is the partner of West Ham’s co-chairman David Sullivan and has been pictured at the London Stadium watching the Hammers in action on numerous occasions.

Now, she has been named as a director at the club who are 10th in the Premier League standings.

The 55-year-old Vorley was a Page 3 girl and involved in a number of adult films in the late 90s and early 2000s.

She starred in films such as ‘Lesbian Nurses’, ‘Electric Blue: Nude Wives – Private Parts’ and ‘Naked Neighbours’, and directed films including ‘Horny Housewives on the Job’ and ‘Sex Mad Secretaries’.

Her brother, Jonny Trunk, helped run her fan club which at one point exceeded 19,000 members.

In a piece in The Times, Trunk explained that his sister turned to the industry when her first husband left her and she fell on hard times financially.

‘My sister longed secretly to be a model,’ he said. ‘Emma saw the glamour industry as a business opportunity, and it worked for her.

After six months she asked me if I wanted to help with her fan club.

‘To start with, it was a bloody odd experience, but it soon became ordinary.

I’d be stuffing pictures of my semi-naked sister into envelopes and she’d be in the kitchen with her tracksuit on, feeding the cat.

‘She had this amazing ability to switch characters on and off. In front of a camera, Emma was gone and there was Eve Vorley, naughty schoolgirl or sexy secretary.

I never did find out how much she got paid. Suffice to say, she moved from her flat in Gravesend to what I called the “Footballers’ Wives” house quite quickly.’

Speaking of her career in the adult entertainment industry, Benton-Hughes said: ‘When my husband left me, the house was repossessed and I was left with a cardboard box full of clothes and a bed.

I swore I’d never rely on a man again and I’ve stuck by that.

I’ve enjoyed being able to help my family, but I’ve been very businesslike about it.’

The adult entertainment industry is where her partner Sullivan made his money – in the Sunday Times Rich List, Sullivan’s estimated wealth came in at £1.1billion. He also has a vast property portfolio.

Vorley has been appointed a director at West Ham, alongside Sullivan’s son Dave. Sullivan’s other son, Jack, is currently the managing director of West Ham’s women’s team..

Sullivan, alongside David Gold and Karren Brady, oversaw a takeover of West Ham back in 2010.

Gold’s businesses include Ann Summers, the retailer specialising in sex toys and lingerie, and another lingerie chain, Knickerbox.

They are now run by his daughter, Jacqueline, who is estimated to be worth £470m, making her the 16th richest woman in Britain.  

In their time in charge at West Ham, Sullivan, Gold and Brady have facilitated the controversial move from Upton Park to the London Stadium.

The switch has yet to usher in the era of success that Gold and Sullivan were hopeful of but West Ham have had an encouraging season so far under the guidance of David Moyes.

While they are currently sat in mid-table, they are only three points off the Champions League places. Fourth spot is occupied by their London rivals Tottenham on 29 points.
