 | Tanya Tate (born 31 March 1979 in Liverpool, England, U.K.) is a British adult model, porn director, writer, international cosplayer and multiple award-winning porn star.CareerShe entered the British adult industry in 2009 and now divides her time between London and Los Angeles. Her stage name is inspired by her interest in comic books and attributed to the manner in which Stan Lee named his characters with the same initial in their first and last name. After beginning her porn career, Tate began contributing to a regular column for British adult magazine Ravers DVD in 2010.Later that same year Tate made headlines in Ireland after it was discovered that one of the amateur men who participated in the filming of her Television X series Tanya Tate’s Sex Tour Of Ireland, was Gaelic Athletic Association player Greg Jacobs. Tate traveled the countryside in a camper van meeting genuine Irish men and filmed both softcore and hardcore pornography. Jacobs denied that he appeared in the video, but then admitted, "I don't regret doing it", noting that he didn't want his parents to know. He appeared in the video following a dare from his friends. Tanya Tate's Casting Couch series ended in March 2013. Tate directed her first movie for Filly Films called Tanya Tate's The MILF Masseuse in 2011. Her work as director for Filly Films continued in 2012 with two titles Tanya Tate's Runaways and Tanya Tate's Tea & Muffin Party. Tate is outspoken about her industry and was quoted in a story about the 2013 AVN Awards for which she was nominated for an award. She stated, "If you are more popular with the fans, companies are more likely to book you for their production," "Being nominated for awards help build your recognition with your fan base. People that win male and female performer of the year are generally solid consistent talent that are open to many 'levels,' and some of these performers already have higher basic rates than others." On 5 December 2013, Tate was the host of the 4th annual SHAFTA Awards at the Rise Superclub in Leicester Square. She was also nominated for several awards that night and won MILF of the Year for the fourth year running.
