She has only been in the business less than 2 years, but has come on like gangbusters since making her debut. This dark haired vixen from across the pond has scored some big award nominations and wins. That was highlighted by her big win at the just concluded AVN Awards, where she won the Best New Starlet  award. A week earlier she won the Best New Performer award at the XBIZ awards. Meet rising star Gail Ritchie.

This feisty, sexy young lady was born on May 3, 2001 in London, England. Her mother was an artist and music and dance were part of her growing up years. While she was a good student and not sure what direction to take with her life, dance would soon become a big part of her future.

She did well in school and after graduation and stepping inot the adult world changes began. She tried the 9-5 routine with several jobs but it just wasn’t for her. Then with music and dance a part of her life, the next step was a natural.

By the time she was 20, she began to start making a name for herself in adult entertainment. She started using all that dance experience at clubs, working the poles and entertaining people. Then she began to also use the world of webcams and knew just how to captivate and build an audience.

But that was just the beginning for this Brit beauty. In 2023 she crossed the pond, landed in the U.S. and wasted little time getting her feet wet in adult films. She made her film debut in a scene with Jay Romero for Team Skeet and she was off to the races with her new career. By the way, she is also a certified and licensed dominatrix.

Since that debut Gail has come on like gangbusters with films and scenes for the likes of  Elegant Angel, Hard X, Reality Kings, Doghouse, Vixen, Slayed, Deeper, Jules Jordan and many others.  Her talents are many and if you want to see just what she can offer, check out the award winning film “Gold Diggers” from Digital Playground.

In addition to all her film and scene work Gail also has another adult profession. She is a certified and licensed dominatrix. So, you can be sure there will be some dom/sub scenes added to her growing repertoire of skills and talents. It is obvious that this 5’ 4” bundle of sexual energy can do it all.

2025 has started with a big bang. First the award from XBIZ for Best New Performer and then winning the coveted AVN Best New Starlet award along with a few scene work awards as well. Needless to say, this young lady has it all going for her and it will only get bigger and better. Keep an eye on this exciting talent in 2025 because she is truly a major rising star. I am very pleased to have Gail Ritchie as my “Girl of the Week” here on AAN.
