Linsey Dawn McKenzie (born 7 August 1978[2] in Brent, Middlesex[1]) is an English glamour model, porn star, and television personality who made her topless modelling debut in the Sunday Sport tabloid newspaper on her 16th birthday in 1994. Known for her naturally large 34GG breasts, she went on to feature in a wide range of adult magazines, websites, broadcast media, and videos, including hardcore pornography productions after 2000.

She has attained minor celebrity status in the United Kingdom, where she has appeared on a number of mainstream television programmes, such as They Think It's All Over, I'm Famous and Frightened!, The Weakest Link, and Celebrity Four Weddings. She has also appeared in documentaries about the lives of glamour models and was featured in Martin Gooch's 2002 film Arthur's Amazing Things.

Career

In early 1994 when McKenzie was 15, she sent sample glamour photographs to local modelling agencies. She began her modelling career glamour modeling and swimsuit work, intending to progress to topless modelling when she turned 16 later that year.[2][3]

As McKenzie approached her 16th birthday, The Sunday Sport tabloid newspaper expressed an interest in turning her topless debut into a media event. Throughout June and July 1994, it published provocative pictures of McKenzie, touting her 34GG bra size and counting down the days until it could legally show her topless.[4]

After she turned 16, McKenzie continued to model topless for The Daily Sport and The Sunday Sport. She also made Page 3 girl appearances in tabloid newspapers The Sun and The Daily Star; posed topless in lads' mags such as Loaded; appeared fully nude in British softcore magazines such as Mayfair[5] and Men Only;[6] and performed in a variety of low-budget softcore videos.

On 29 July 1995, shortly before her 17th birthday, McKenzie did a topless streak at a televised England v. West Indies cricket match at Old Trafford. Wearing only a thong and a pair of trainers, she ran onto the field with the words "Only Teasing" written across her breasts.[7]

After McKenzie turned 18 in 1996, she made her North American modelling debut in the breast fetishism magazine Score, which marked the occasion by making McKenzie the cover girl of its December 1996 "50th Anniversary" issue.[8]

In the late 1990s, McKenzie was frequently featured on the adult-oriented channels L!VE TV and Television X. She continued to appear regularly in adult-oriented magazines, DVDs, Internet sites, and broadcast media until late 2004, when she took a break from modelling to have a child and undergo a breast reduction operation.

In 2000, McKenzie began appearing in hardcore porn films. Some of her hardcore performances have been lesbian scenes with other large-breasted actresses, including Autumn-Jade, Susie Wilden, and Ines Cudna.[9]

McKenzie has also featured in a small number of heterosexual hardcore films. These include Ultimate Linsey (2001),[10] which features McKenzie with her first husband, Terry Canty, and Maximum Insertion (2004), which features her in a hardcore threesome scene with Czech pornographic actors Veronika Pagáčová and Robert Rosenberg. In 2009, after a five-year absence from hardcore pornography, she released a DVD entitled I'm Back, containing lesbian group sex scenes. She has since gone on to perform in several other hardcore lesbian features.

Appearances

McKenzie's mainstream television appearances include the BBC sporting quiz show They Think It's All Over, the reality television shows I'm Famous and Frightened! and The Salon, and the science programme Brainiac: Science Abuse. In the United States, she appeared on The Howard Stern Show in January 2003.[11] On 8 September 2007, she appeared on a special charity edition of the BBC quiz show The Weakest Link,[12] on which all contestants were glamour models who were dating or married to footballers.[13] In December 2010, she featured with her husband Mark Williams on an episode of Living TV's Celebrity Four Weddings. The episode also featured actress Tina Malone, Big Brother contestant Spencer Smith, magician Paul Daniels, and Daniels' wife Debbie McGee.[14][15]

Additionally, McKenzie has appeared in two documentaries about the lives of glamour models, The Curse of Page 3[16] and Girls Behaving Badly.[17][18] She also played the character Beryl Fforbes-Juggs in Martin Gooch's 2002 film Arthur's Amazing Things.[19]

Personal life

McKenzie was born in Brent, Middlesex and grew up in Wallington, Surrey. She is the youngest of three children and her parents, Tony and Lesley McKenzie, divorced in 1987.[2] In 1996, at the age of 17, McKenzie became involved in an extramarital affair with 27-year-old footballer Dean Holdsworth, who was then a striker for Wimbledon F.C. The relationship received widespread attention in the British media.[20]

In 1998, she became engaged to actor Michael Greco, who at the time was playing the role of Beppe di Marco in the BBC soap opera EastEnders.[21] She twice became pregnant over the course of her 15-month relationship with Greco, but miscarried both times.[22]

Claiming to have grown disillusioned with footballers and celebrities, McKenzie began dating 21-year-old window cleaner Terry Canty in 2000. The couple married on 21 April 2001[23] and Canty performed with McKenzie in her first heterosexual hardcore photoshoots and video. Scenes featuring the couple were released on the 2001 DVD Ultimate Linsey. However, the couple separated just six weeks after their wedding, and their marriage ended in divorce after 10 months.[4]

In 2004, McKenzie began a relationship with former Wimbledon F.C. and Northern Ireland footballer Mark Williams. On 16 May 2005, she gave birth to the couple's baby boy. McKenzie married Williams on 5 January 2006 in a register office in London.[24]

Breast reduction and augmentation

McKenzie's large chest had caused her physical discomfort since she was a teenager. A newspaper profile written when she was 16, and already wearing a size 34GG bra, noted that she often got backache as a result of her breast size.[2] Her breasts continued to increase in size until she was wearing a 34HHH bra. In December 2005, seven months after having her baby, she underwent breast reduction surgery to decrease their size to 36E.[25]

In July 2010, McKenzie again underwent surgery on her breasts, this time receiving implants to enhance their size.[26]
