TWO local models have reacted with fury after an advert carrying their names appeared in the personal section of a local paper.

For one of the girls, it even led to personal abuse in the street.

Friday's edition of our sister paper the South Wales Argus carried a classified advert in the personal section (pictured), with the wording "Sheer Bliss. With Lexi and Sophia for that 5 star service" and a mobile phone number.

Unfortunately for real-life models Lexy Johnson, of Cwmbran, and Sophia Cahill, of New Inn, the Free Press has discovered that two girls are offering 'services' using their names.

This has led to both girls being enraged at the insinuation, and has resulted in Lexy, 19, receiving numerous calls to her home, asking to speak to 'that slag'.

Lexy said: "This explains a lot of what happened to me at the weekend too. I'm used to the odd dirty look, but when I was out in Newport on Saturday night, one girl said 'there she is, there's that slag, where's your mate Sophia?'. My mum didn't tell me about the phone calls at first, but when this advert was brought to my attention by you, she felt she had to tell me.

"It's disgusting, I'd never do anything like that, and these girls need stopping from using our names - even though they did spell mine wrong, with an 'I' instead of a 'y'!

"Mind you, it was printed wrong like that in a newspaper a week ago and I think whoever it is has got our names from there. In a sense it's flattering, because it must mean we're well-known - but that doesn't make it right. This is upsetting for my family and boyfriend as well as me."

Sophia, 22, added: "It's not right. They know exactly what they're doing by using mine and Lexy's names. This could have a negative effect on both our careers if people really believe we're doing such things."

So just who is behind the advert?

A phone call late on Monday night to the mobile number printed revealed that on offer was a range of services, from massage to 'paying for an hour of our time, and depending what you had in mind this can take place at your home or here.'

'Here' was never established, as the girl who answered would not be pushed into revealing their location 'yet'.

A massage would set you back £40, with other prices for 'other' services to be discussed in person. When asked if it was the "real Lexy and Sophia', those famous ones", the reply was "Not the ones you're thinking of, love - we're better looking."

A second call was then made, this time revealing our identity and asking why those names were being used. A curt reply of 'they could be our names, how do you know?' was received, before the phone was slammed down.

Despite a call being made immediately afterward, the phone was switched off and has remained off ever since.

Hopefully, for the sake of the 'real' Lexy and Sophia, it remains switched off for good.
