Actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has revealed she joined adult-only site OnlyFans to avoid receiving grim snaps from horny Instagram users.
The 40-year-old star recently had her contract at Hollyoaks terminated because she refused to take down her account.
Mother of one Sarah, who had played Mandy Richardson in the Channel 4 soap since 1996, announced last month she'd joined the over-18s website.

She says she's received heaps of support from friends and family since her decision and revealed that she believes OnlyFans is "much safer" than Instagram.
Speaking to Daily Star, Sarah explained: "They [Hollyoaks] talk about the younger audience but the younger audience can't access OnlyFans.
"People can contact you and send unsolicited picture on Instagram. You can report them but they can make another account and message you again and again.
"The sort of trolling and abuse on Instagram is continuous and you can't really stop it but for me OnlyFans is a much safer space."
She went on to reveal that she's stopped accessing her direct messages on Instagram due to amount of grim photographs sent by horny fans.
"You can imagine the sort of pictures that gets sent," said Sarah.
"On Instagram, if you click on a direct message and there's an image attached to it you cannot not see it because it's just there.
On OnlyFans, if someone sends you a picture it's pixelated so if I wanted to open it, it would be my choice and makes me feel more control of the whole situation."
The TV personality went on to confirm that she's received plenty of exciting opportunities since leaving Hollyoaks and is excited for the future.
