Bonnie Blue Ties Newborn to Bang Bus Freshers Tour but Insists 'My Baby Will Never be in 18+ Content'

Bonnie Blue has said her newborn baby will accompany her on her Bang Bus freshers tour. She linked the baby to the tour by auctioning the right to name the child. A Conservative MP has reported the adult film performer, whose real name is Tia Billinger, to a children's charity. Blue told The Tab: 'My baby will never be in 18+ content.'

Blue used the Bang Bus to tour universities last year in freshers' week, the start of term. On Tuesday 22 September, she said the winning bid was £1.2M ($1,587,501) that the name would be BetBolt. BetBolt had not publicly confirmed its involvement in the auction or the claimed £1.2 million bid by Thursday 24 September.

How the Naming Auction Worked

Blue floated the plan in a July interview, calling an auction fun. In a later video, she urged viewers to scan a code on the Bang Bus and bid on the naming rights. 'A stranger got me pregnant, and now a stranger gets to name it,' she said. By The Tab's report on Monday 21 September, she had not said when bidding would open or how she would pick a winner.

She said she had a Westminster Register Office appointment the next day. Parents in England must register a birth within 42 days, and Blue has not said publicly whether the registrar accepted the name. A further clip in The Tab's report set the tour for the following week. No towns or venues are public. IBTimes UK reported on Thursday, without quoting her, that she told viewers the baby would travel with her.

What Critics Want Blue to Stop

The referral followed videos appearing to show Blue on a bed with a baby, its face blurred, and three men in balaclavas. Rebecca Goodwin is a pregnant creator on OnlyFans, a subscription site known for adult content. She objected to clips of Blue passing a doll, standing in for the newborn, to masked men. Goodwin argued in the video below that if a genuine baby appears, Blue 'needs to stop using that for promotional purposes.'

Blue rejects criticism of her clips, arguing that holding the baby while announcing a plan does not mean the baby will be there when she acts on it. She likened it to a parent announcing a night out while holding a child. Joy Morrissey, the shadow minister for women and equalities behind the complaint, argued no child should appear in pornography or help promote adult entertainment. Blue told The Sun her baby was 'loved, protected and incredibly well looked after.'

Where the Safeguarding Question Stands

Nieki Shaw, a former council child protection lawyer, wrote that the baby's identity had become part of Blue's stunts. In her view, the council should check on the baby. Shaw also set a limit: 'Safeguarding, however, does not automatically equate to removing a baby from a parent.'

The NSPCC has not publicly announced an investigation, finding or intervention involving Blue. The charity confirmed it had received a report and said it takes all concerns about children seriously. It urged anyone worried to call its helpline.
