Joanne Salley photos of her were circulated at the all-boys public school where she used to work
'I hated boys seeing me topless, I felt my world had ended': Harrow teacher whose raunchy internet pictures scandalised top public school tells HER side of the story
Former Harrow School art teacher Joanne Salley learned a hard lesson last year when revealing photos of her taken by a colleague went viral on the internet. Here, in an exclusive interview, she talks for the first time about what really happened
It is surely the fantasy of any bored schoolboy to have a beautiful schoolmistress upon whom to harbour a crush.
For the pupils of a famous, centuries-old North London boys’ public school, that dream recently became reality. When she first arrived at Harrow School to take up her teaching role in the art department, Joanne Salley – a former Miss Northern Ireland – found herself the object of innocent schoolboy infatuations.
The Harrow School art teacher was devastated when she received a call saying the photographs were being circulated among the boys
But last year the fantasy turned sour when the teacher became an unwitting internet sensation as revealing photographs of her spiralled out from the school and across the worldwide web.
Joanne, 33, is vibrant and bubbly, with a gentle Northern Irish lilt to her speech, and a warm and trusting manner.
As she clacks into the Knightsbridge café she’s suggested we meet in for coffee (she’s staying at a friend’s flat nearby) she is wrapped in a cream cashmere sweater and wheeling a suitcase behind her – in a few hours’ time she will fly to her friend Lisa B’s ‘wild’ themed 40th birthday party in Ibiza.
With her friendly personality, abundant honey-coloured hair and long, slim legs it’s clear to see how Miss Salley would have won legions of teen admirers at the school.
Only last year life had seemed perfect. Joanne was living in a flat with half an acre of garden at the end of a pretty private lane on the school premises.
Classes were just a ten-minute walk away, and in her private time she could walk through the wood to play golf. But just when she felt she couldn’t be happier, her whole world fell apart.
It was late spring and Joanne was invigilating a GCSE art exam. ‘The boys were all quietly working at their tables. I felt so proud knowing they would do really well in their exam.’
That day, her colleague took around 200 photographs of Joanne in various outfits out in her garden. ‘It was all just a bit of fun,’ says Joanne.
