Louise Glover, a former Playboy model, once lived in luxury at Hugh Hefner’s mansion. Now, she sleeps in a $80 tent due to rising rent and personal challenges.

Louise Glover: From playboy Glamour to tent living
Louise Glover, 41, rose to fame through British magazines like FHM, Bizarre, and Loaded.
At age 21, she met Hugh Hefner during a photoshoot in Los Angeles.
Glover graced the cover of Playboy Vixens” and was named Playboy’s ‘Model of the Year’ in 2006, becoming the first British model to earn the title.
Despite her glamorous past, Glover now finds herself living in a tent near Reading.
In an interview with The Sun, Glover explained that the rising cost of rent forced her into this situation.
She had been paying £550 per month for a shared room near Windsor, but her rent increased to £750, making it unaffordable.
A former playboy model is living in a $80 tent.
Glover has been camping in a tent for over a month.
She sleeps on a double blow-up mattress with two hot water bottles to keep warm at night.
“I am trying to stay upbeat and make the most of my situation, but it is difficult,” she said. “I need to get myself out of this pickle soon. Things have to change before winter hits.”
Louise Glover also struggled with work
Glover, who is trying to build her personal training and dog-walking businesses, mentioned the challenges of securing modeling work.
She’s struggled to secure modeling work and refuses to lower her standards, despite suggestions to join platforms like OnlyFans.
Although some have recommended that she join OnlyFans to earn money, she stated, “I would rather get my life together and live here, in this field. I don’t need to lower myself to that. I have morals and self-respect.”
Glover mentioned that a homeless shelter informed her that she would not be a priority. Since she prefers not to rely on others, she is effectively “starting from scratch” with her tent.
While living in a tent is far from her days at the Playboy Mansion, Glover fondly remembers her time there.
“I had the best time at the mansion, hanging out with the biggest names in the world,” she said.
She recalled her friendships with other Playboy models and described Hugh Hefner as a gentleman whom she admired.
Despite the drastic change in her life, Glover remains hopeful.
She is determined to improve her situation and maintain her self-respect, even if it means starting from scratch.
