A woman known for being the "world's hottest taxi driver" works hard to maintain her title.

Even though shifts are long, the psychology graduate loves her job and the praise she receives.
She said: "Passengers normally have a man who picks them up. When I arrive they're quite shocked.
"I love the attention and the feeling of being liked. I'm happy to have pictures with passengers and I'm genuinely flattered by the compliments."
The glam cabbie even gets invited out by her admirers, which she turns down because she "wants to maintain professionalism".
She told Fabulous: “When I talked to my previous passengers, they were really hopeful that I’ll always be their driver. Some were surprised, some were really excited.

“Since I became an internet sensation during that time, I also had no time because I was busy with the work and my side hustle.”

“The funniest thing about it all is that when I pull up in the Uber everyone literally says ‘oh my god I wasn’t expecting you to look like this’ or ‘oh my god you are so hot’ that kind of thing. Or when I pull up and I am smiling my pearly whites and it just takes them off guard.”
