She went from Hefner to homelessness.
A former model who lived in the infamous Playboy mansion and partied with the world’s biggest celebrities is now living in a tent.
Louise Glover, 41, was crowned Playboy’s Model of the Year in 2006 and briefly lived rent-free at Hugh Hefner’s luxury Los Angeles estate.
But the British beauty’s fortunes took a turn in 2010 when she suffered a cardiac arrest following breast implant surgery and spent five weeks in hospital.
Glover is now living in an $80 tent on a farm in rural Reading, England, and fears for her future as cold weather quickly approaches.
“I have no family to fall back on,” the former model “who grew up in and out of foster homes,” told The Sun in an emotional new interview.
“I’m trying to stay optimistic and make the most of my situation, but it’s hard,” she admitted. “I need to get myself out of this pickle soon. Things have to change before winter hits.”
Glover first started modeling at the age of 20 and quickly gained international attention.
The bombshell was named “British Carmen Electra” and was flown to the United States where she posed for Playboy.
“It was the best time, like another world,” the beauty recalls. I didn’t even think about it that much at the time, but I was hanging out with the biggest names in the world.”
She attended star-studded parties, including Leonard DiCaprio, Matthew Perry and Paris Hilton.
Soon, Glover was staying at Hefner’s $100 million Playboy mansion, where other A-listers regularly stopped by.
“We had these wild parties,” she said. “One time I painted my body and we all danced around Snoop Dogg while he was performing on stage at home.
Glover told The Sun that Hefner always treated her with kindness and that she enjoyed her days in the infamous mansion, saying: “I loved all the other Playboy models, we were like family. I really liked Hugh, he was a total gentleman.”
After recovering from a heart attack in 2010, Glover decided to turn to personal training.
“That was a wake-up call for me,” she said of her five-week hospital stay.
The beauty contracted septicemia after her implant surgery, causing cardiac arrest.
“I started working out and transitioned into fitness and lifestyle modeling,” Glover said. “I have had deals with most of the major brands. Nike sponsored me and I felt like I was on the rise again.”
But with her personal training job drying up amid the UK’s cost of living crisis, the Brit found herself struggling to make ends meet.
“It is difficult now that I have grown up, the modeling work is not there”, she explained. “I would like to do presentations and I still do some promotional work, but I refuse to do anything pornographic.”
Glover says she has “too much self-respect” to work as a stripper or start an X-rated OnlyFans.
Instead, the blonde is trying to recruit new clients for personal training and trying to build a dog-walking business.
In addition to her tent, Glover has a small stove for cooking, two hot water bottles for warmth, and an unwavering sense of optimism despite her hardships.
“In some ways, I feel calmer now that I’m here because I have less to worry about,” she said. “There were really special moments. I sat watching the shooting stars the other night, wrapped in my sleeping bag.”
“My luck will change soon.”
