Warning: Distressing content.

A teenager who claims she is selling her virginity to the highest bidder says she has had an offer of £1.7million from a wealthy businessman.

Despite her family's disapproval, 18-year-old Aleexandra Khefren insists she is going ahead with the sordid deal.

Aleexandra, an aspiring model from Bucharest, in Romania, said selling herself does not make her a prostitute and added: 'This is an opportunity and I will take it.'

The tawdry auction is being run by Cinderella Escorts, a website based in Germany, where the teenager is pictured wearing lingerie in a series of provocative poses.

The agency, which is taking 20 per cent, boasts: 'The date takes place in Germany. The buyer can choose a hotel here, where Aleexandra will visit him for a night

The aspiring bikini model caused outrage when she appeared on the TV show 'This Morning' to talk about her controversial plan.

Presenter Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scholfield were left shocked as were many viewers who expressed their disgust and sadness at her scheme.

The teen did not tell her parents what she was doing and they exploded with fury after discovering her plan.

MailOnline exclusively revealed how they had a tearful confrontation with her at their rented apartment in Bucharest, Romania.

Her policeman father Toni and mum Elena begged her not to go through with the sale of her virginity.

And despite the threat from her 48-year-old father that he would disown her she refused to back down saying it was her body and she could do as wanted.

Since the confrontation, Aleexandra gave a phone interview to Romanian TV station STIRI where she talked about her desire to sell herself - while bizarrely insisting she doesn't consider herself a prostitute.

The sale of her virginity was put at €1million Euros - about £850,000 - by the German based escort agency handling the sale.

Photos of Aleexandra,whose real name is Oana Raducu, in lingerie still adorn the website of the Cinderella agency. Since all the publicity surrounding the sale Aleexandra claimed there had now been offers of up to two million Euros.

She said: 'We have many offers up to €2million. We search even bigger offers and we will choose a gentleman. We will not go to choose somebody just for the money.'

Aleexandra said she is curious about sex and said she hoped the man who takes her virginity will wine and dine her prior to going to bed.

'We will go to a hotel in Germany, have dinner and then it will happen. 'I am very curious about how sex is. I have not experimented. I don't know what is it.' While most people would consider selling her virginity for money, Aleexandra insisted she was not a prostitute.

'I will not become a whore. I am intelligent. In February I will have sex. This is an opportunity and I take it, ' she said.

The escort agency said they will take 20 per cent of what she is paid. In her TV interview Aleexandra claimed she was selling herself to raise money for her family who faced eviction from their home.

She also said the money would be used to fund a college place, with Oxford University a favoured choice.

MailOnline revealed that far from being threatened with eviction her parents were well off compared to most Romanian families.

Toni Raducu is a riot cop with the Romanian National police where salaries range from £172 to £600 a month.

His wife Elena, 46, works in a pharmacy with their joint income well above the £250 a month for the average Romanian family.

Aleexandra's uncle Radu Raducu told MailOnline he was not aware his brother faced losing his home. He was present when the teen told her parents about the plan to sell her virginity and revealed they were left 'sickened'.

He said: 'They have begged her not to do it, but she told them, 'I'm 18 and I can do what I like with my body.

'They have threatened her and said if she goes ahead with selling herself they will not consider her their daughter any more. It is a terrible situation.

'Her mother was in tears and it was a terrible atmosphere. Just awful. 'I tried to be the peacemaker and to see both sides, but they are very angry.'

Toni and Elena Raducu refused to comment. A family friend told Mail Online they were shocked by her plan.

'Toni absolutely adores his daughter and is sickened by what she wants to do. Any father would be,' said the friend.

'You only have to look at his Facebook page to see how many photos there are of them together.

'He can't understand why sheis doing this. It is so unlike her and feels someone is influencing her.

'He is devastated and his wife has not stopped crying since she found out.

'They are hoping she will drop the idea, but she is very strong willed and wants to go through with it. They have told her not to do it for them.'
