OnlyFans creator Annie Knight has shared an emotional account of the challenges she and fiancé Henry Brayshaw faced as he struggled with a gambling addiction, revealing that their relationship nearly reached breaking point.

In a candid Instagram post published alongside the latest episode of the reality series Turned On: Dirty, Sexy Money, Knight described the period as "the most challenging week" of her life. She said both her personal life and relationship felt as though they were "falling apart" after months of trying to support Brayshaw through repeated gambling relapses.

According to Knight, the couple became trapped in a recurring cycle in which Brayshaw would relapse, apologise and promise to change, only for the pattern to repeat. She admitted she tried to manage the situation alone before realising that no individual can overcome a serious mental health condition or addiction without professional treatment.

Knight encouraged others facing similar circumstances to seek support, stressing that addiction "will not just go away" and that recovery requires professional help. She also offered support to followers experiencing similar situations, saying her direct messages remain open for those seeking advice.

The social media personality thanked the production team behind Turned On: Dirty, Sexy Money for encouraging her to share her experience, expressing hope that her story could help others feel less isolated.

Knight and Brayshaw transitioned from longtime friends to romantic partners in early 2025 before announcing their engagement in March that year. The couple are currently planning to marry in October 2026 on Australia's Gold Coast, with around 80 guests expected to attend the ceremony.
