AN OnlyFans model's giant raunchy billboards has been cleared by the advertising watchdog after dozens of complaints.
Furious locals in northwest London demanded Eliza Rose Watson's eye-catching advertisement was taken down.
The poster of a sweaty Eliza in a bra with dishevelled hair and a link to her OnlyFans profile and Instagram was slammed as "inappropriate" by the local council and locals.
Some even plastered the OnlyFans advert with graffiti in North Harrow - with the message "keep porn off our streets".
Harrow West MP Gareth Thomas said he wrote to the Advertising Standards Authority after being made aware that children passed the ad on their way to school.

But Eliza - who earns £200k-a-month selling explicit content online - hit back, saying her ad breaks no rules.
She has posted snaps of herself grinning and posing in front of her controversial billboard - remaining defiant over her choice of ads.
The Advertising Standards Authority received the complaints - all of which said that as OnlyFans featured sexual adult content it was inappropriate for display where children could see it.
Some of the complaints also claimed the poster was overly sexualised and objectified women, making it offensive, harmful and irresponsible.
However the ASA did not uphold the complaints about the billboards which went up in June and July this year.
In response to the complaints, Eliza told the ASA that the development process took over a month - and she ensured the ad was tailored to avoid offensiveness to mature viewers and intrigue to the younger generation.
The image selected was evaluated by a diverse group beyond those in the glamour industry and was deemed to be non-suggestive, not harmful and less provocative than mainstream lingerie or perfume brand ads.
She also provided examples of ads for clothing and condom brands which she believed were shown in busier areas of London.
The use of the OnlyFans logo was consistent with its appearance in mainstream media, she said.
Eliza also said the ad deliberately omitted any explicit website link or call to action - which was intended to veil the OnlyFans platform from those who may not be aware of it or wished to engage with it.

In terms of where the posters went up, she said consideration was given to child safety and the closest an ad was to a school was 450 metres.
She said the content of the ad was adult-centric and did not include anything appealing to minors such as bright colours, engaging slogans, fun factors or QR codes.
Ruling the ad did not breach any guidelines, the ASA said: "The ASA considered that although her clothing was revealing, the image did not feature any nudity, and the pose adopted by Ms Watson was no more than mildly sexual.
"Although the OnlyFans website featured explicit adult content, the ad did not feature any explicit imagery.
"It did not contain anything which indicated an exploitative or degrading scenario or tone.
"While we acknowledged that the image of Ms Watson and reference to OnlyFans might be distasteful to some, we considered that because the ad was not overtly sexual and did not objectify women, we therefore concluded it was unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence.
"It was likely to be seen by a large number of people, including children.
"However, because we considered the ad was not overtly sexual and did not objectify women, we therefore concluded the ad was unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence and had not been placed irresponsibly."
Eliza previously told The Sun her haters should rethink their criticism and take her business seriously.
She said: "This is a real business, if a gambling or alcohol company can run their ads, which have far more devastating impacts, why not me?"
"If people are offended by my ad, I'm assuming they're also complaining about Ann Summers and Jack Daniels ones.
"You see ads for gambling, alcohol, sex toys, lingerie, there is no difference between that type of adult-oriented ad and my adult-oriented ad."
