NEXT CHAPTER Hollyoaks’ Sarah Jayne Dunn reveals ‘terrifying’ new job after being axed from soap for OnlyFans

HOLLYOAKS star Sarah Jayne Dunn, 43, has revealed her ‘terrifying’ new job, after being axed from the soap for OnlyFans.

The former soap star, who played the role of Mandy Richardson in Hollyoaks from 1996 to 2021, famously left Hollyoaks after she was issued an ultimatum by furious soap bosses: quit adult subscription site OnlyFans, where she was flogging racy shots, or be axed.

The actress quit the Channel 4 soap for a career on OnlyFans three years ago.

Hollyoaks said it doesn’t allow cast members to be active on certain 18+ websites because of the show’s responsibility to its young audience.

Speaking about posting on OnlyFans before, Sarah said it was “about taking back control, about empowerment and confidence and having full power over my choices”.

Now, Sarah has revealed her new job after quitting the soap, and will be teaching her first ever pole class.

Sharing images of herself pole dancing, the actress penned: “I’m excited and terrified in equal measure… because very soon, I’ll be stepping into a whole new challenge- teaching my first beginners’ pole class!

“Pole has been a huge part of my life for over two years now. I first found it just after lockdown, a little before turning 41, when I was looking for something fun, but challenging.

“From the very first spin, I was hooked. What started as a way to move and push myself has become so much more- strength, confidence, and a whole new community of incredible, supportive people who lift each other up (literally!).”

Sarah continued: “I’ve recently started 1:1 training with a new pole coach, and I can already feel myself improving in ways I never expected.

“Pole is as tough as it is beautiful, what looks effortless takes an insane amount of strength, control, and resilience. But that’s what I love about it. Every move mastered feels like a little victory, and there’s always a new challenge to take on.

“Now, I’m about to take the next step, sharing everything I’ve learned with others. My beginner’s classes will be for absolute newbies or anyone wanting to go back to basics!

“I’ll be teaching at the same studio where my journey began too which is exciting @PoleGymholmeschapel, and I can’t wait to help others discover just how empowering pole can be.”

Sarah showed off her toned physique in the carousel of images, as she promoted her new pole class.

She worte a sparkly leotard and had her hair in a colourful plait as she revealed her pole skills for her fans.

One person commented: “These photos are mind boggling @sarahjaynedunn they’re full of warrior woman power and I love them! You’ll be amazing. You’ve excelled at this and been so determined. All the joys!”

Someone else penned: “Wow you look incredible Sarah, I remember when you first started, amazing how far you’ve come. So pleased for you, all the best for your next chapter.”

And another added: “You will be wonderful we just know it. Our gorgeous girl who can achieve anything she puts her mind to.”

It’s not the first time that Sarah has shown off her sensational figure in a skimpy pole dancing outfit.

The star has been praised for her toned body after completely transforming her physique.

She looked ageless as she shared a series of photographs after working out and doing some intense pole dancing.

“My knees have almost recovered,” Sarah penned in the caption of her sizzling set of snaps, revealing that she suffered some pain after her intense work out sessions.

She went on to add: “If you missed my stories last month, I had the BEST workshop with @dapnelux, is was a HUGE challenge- those moves were FAST, especially tying them all together to music!”

Sarah added: “I left feeling tired but inspired to sign up for more workshops this year with this wonderful community of supportive women.

“I’ve got much further to go before I’m anywhere near as slick as Daphne (although she has been at it much longer than me!) but what an inspiration!”

One fan remarked: “You look absolutely amazing. Your body shape has changed so much. Great job.”

A second said: “I can’t believe how much your physic has changed! Looking fab!”
