A gran thought to be Britain's oldest dominatrix has told how she turned her conservatory into a kinky 'play room' after struggling to pay the bills – and she's doing better than ever.

Sherry Lever, also known a Mistress Sofia, says she was left feeling "financially embarrassed" after her marriage to her husband of 25 years broke down.

At the time, she was working as a chef, but wasn't earning enough to pay off crippling debts.

That was 12 years ago. Luckily, Sherry, a self-confessed sadist, soon chanced upon her special talent – dominating men.

Now 70, she's one of Britain's most popular dominatrixes, with a legion of fans and admirers.

She runs her business from her home in Swindon, Wilts, where she invites "subs, slaves and sissies" into her 'play room' for sessions ranging from 50 minutes to overnight stays.

Speaking to The Daily Star, she said: "I have a play room. I don’t call it a dungeon – that would be too pretentious as it was previously a conservatory.

"I have subs, slaves and sometimes sissies visit me for play.

"A sub is a submissive. He likes to be dominated. He likes to do what he is told.

"A slave is a little more intense. They like to serve. They have no say it. They literally do what they’re told.

"A sissy is someone who likes to be dressed in a maids outfit and put to work."

Sherry insists none of the sessions are sexual and her subs, slaves and sissies are not allowed to touch her – unless it is feet worship.

Men pay to be told what to do by Mistress Sofia. That can include housework, like cleaning the toilet or painting part of her home.

"Sessions can last as long as they want. They can stay overnight but if they do they will be locked in my metal cage," she told us.

"Most commonly a session lasts an hour – unless it is foot worship and then it will last 30 minutes, as an hour is an awfully long time to have someone worshipping your feet."

Sherry has told how she stumbled upon her talent and new career by chance.

"I was looking for a way out," she said.

Sherry was watching TV one night when she saw a documentary about girls having 'phone sex' for money.

"I found it very funny and I actually managed to find one of the participants on social media and got in touch with her," she said.

"She gave me all the help I needed and I found a company to work for and I started doing the phone lines. The pay was absolutely dreadful but it was better than nothing at the time."

Despite the bad pay, Sherry realised that most of the calls were interested in some sort of domination and as time went on, she realised she was quite good at it.

"Callers started to believe I was a real dominatrix," she said.

"Before I knew that they started asking if they could book sessions with me. Obviously calls are monitored and you’re not allowed to give out or take information.

"But some of my callers would give me their information even though I said I couldn’t take it.

"I’d say I was ignoring it but actually scribble it down with a pen.

"Then I'd get in contact with them and that’s how I started doing sessions."
