A grandmother has revealed she is a secret dominatrix with ‘slaves’ in her dungeon – and her neighbours have no idea.
Ann Cave, 46, from Sheffield, was an NHS nurse for 13 years but lost her ability to walk, was given a Fifty Shades of Grey book and lost a whopping 62 stone before deciding to become a dominatrix.
Now, her neighbors, friends and family have no idea that she has men paying to be her slaves in her secret dungeon beneath her townhouse.
Ann said: “Looking back, I can’t believe I went from being a fat, jaded granny to a sexy lover. By sharing my story now, I want to give other women confidence.”
For 13 years, Ann worked as an NHS nurse on oncology wards and explained: “My career as a nurse was everything. I worked very hard. I was very normal. My life with my husband and grandchildren was normal too.”

But in 2015, her legs suddenly started to hurt and swell. Doctors discovered she had developed a rare form of osteoporosis and had to undergo experimental surgery.
After the surgery, she was unable to walk and was bedridden for almost two years.
Ann said: ‘Since I became bedridden I turned to food for comfort and my weight soared to 11.5kg. I was huge. I was only 38 at the time but I felt like an old lady.
‘One day a friend gave me EL James’s novel Fifty Shades of Grey and I found myself lost in his raunchy sex life.
‘Christian was a dominant and Ana was a submissive. It was a very different world from my life. Not only had I been a hard-working nurse, but I was also a stepmother and had seven adopted grandchildren.
“But Fifty Shades lit a fire inside me and I started having fantasies about dominating someone.”
The first step Ann wanted to take was to shed the pounds she had gained. Unable to exercise because of her ankle, in October 2016 she decided to undergo a gastric sleeve, reducing the size of her stomach permanently.
After that, she lost weight and lost no less than 75 kilos, reaching a weight of 85 kilos and being able to wear size 48 clothes.
Ann was an NHS nurse for 13 years but lost her ability to walk, was given a Fifty Shades of Grey book as a gift and lost a whopping 12st before deciding to become a dominatrix.
She would escort clients into her three-bedroom townhouse and everyone loved her collection of whips, chains, masks, feather dusters, handcuffs and sex toys of all shapes.
In 2015, she suddenly began to feel pain and swelling in her legs. Doctors discovered she had developed a rare form of osteoporosis and had to undergo experimental surgery.
Ann was left in a metal boot on her leg for two years and gained weight while bedridden.
Ann said: “It was the best I had felt in years! My confidence soared. As I continued to think about Mr. Grey, I contacted a former colleague who worked as a dominatrix.
‘She told me how men paid her to do all sorts of things, including spanking them with whips and paddles.
‘Despite not having sex with her clients, she made a decent living. I told her I wanted to be like her and she became my mentor.’
Soon, Ann began training with her friend in her basement, taking dominatrix lessons.
She learned everything from spanking to role-playing. In December 2020, Ann transformed her basement into a dungeon before advertising her services on X, formerly known as Twitter.

After the gastric sleeve, she lost weight and dropped a whopping 6.5kg, weighing just 4.3kg and fitting into a size 12 clothing.
Ann said: ‘I called myself Mistress Angel and my inbox went crazy. I felt so dizzy. I started answering the door in black leather corsets and wet look leggings to 60-year-old men in work suits.
‘My first client was a businessman who was on a break from work. He obeyed me immediately and for the next hour we played with whips and sex toys. It was exciting and I won £150 in the end. It was my dream job.’
Soon after, Ann began receiving a steady stream of clients, up to six a week.
Ann said: ‘To the outside world I was an innocent babysitter, but behind closed doors I was a powerful dominatrix who could make men lick my PVC boots with just one stern look. Sadly though, my husband and I grew apart. He didn’t like what I did.’
In July 2022, Ann was divorced and felt more desired than ever. As time went by, Ann equipped herself with a real sex dungeon, the second bedroom and the upstairs of her house.

Ann said: ‘Some clients liked role-playing, so we played priest and nun, or vampires. I had clients from the US and Australia. One man even wanted to be my slave for a week.
‘I cooked, tidied, gardened and cleaned the dungeon. Then I got paid for it. I even had slaves and submissives, and some partners! They’re all consenting adults with different needs.’
Now, Ann keeps her secret life as a dominatrix a secret from her neighbors, family and friends.
Ann said: ‘I still have a close relationship with my stepchildren and grandchildren, but I try to see them, rather than them coming to me in case they find my dungeon or my toys. If anyone knocks on the door while I’m working, I’ll chain my client up.
“I am financially free and living my best life. I want to inspire older women to know that it’s never too late to do something exciting with their lives.”
