MORE and more medical students are turning to prostitution to pay their way through university, it was claimed yesterday.
One in ten wannabe doctors has a friend who sells sex to meet rocketing tuition and living costs.
That's up from just four per cent in 2000 and six per cent in 2006.
The Student British Medical Journal fears students may be attracted to a life of vice by Billie Piper's ITV2 hit Secret Diary of a Call Girl in which she "oozes glamour and sophistication" as a high-class hooker.
Youngsters ignore the perils of prostitution as they struggle with debts of £30,000 to £50,000 over a five-year course.
The burden could soar to £70,000 next year as fees increase.
