Hollyoaks' Sarah Jayne Dunn 'makes £7k in a week' after joining OnlyFans

Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has joined racy content site OnlyFans and is reported to already be making a whopping £7k a week.

Sarah, 40, who has played Mandy Richardson on the soap since 1996 said she'd joined the adult subscription service to "take back control" after years of doing lads mags.

In an epic Instagram post, which accompanies a picture of Sarah in black lingerie, she said she felt 'empowered and confident' with her decision.

She said: "This is a decision I’ve thought long and hard about, not one I’ve taken lightly or on a whim, it’s about taking back control, about empowerment and confidence and having full power over my choices.

"I feel sexy and strong and confident when I shoot images like this."

The actress also shared a link to the website with her 184K followers saying: "Welcome to the new home for all my racier content, I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you'd like to see most."

And it looks like Sarah's decision may already be paying off as The Sun reports an insider told them: "Since she joined last week, she's had over 700 people subscribe at $15 each, which means she's raking it in."

However Sarah's new venture may not have gone down well with everyone as it's reported her Hollyoaks bosses would be a having a "meeting" with the actress.

"We are aware of the account and are meeting with Sarah Jayne Dunn to discuss it," the soap representative told the publication.

Sarah admitted on her Instagram post that she'll "undoubtedly be judged" suggesting "some might find it shocking, but I'm simply moving my sexier, racier images to another platform."

However the actress said she 'wasn't sure' what was shocking about it.

Sarah concluded the post saying: "We shouldn’t have to hide away from the power that we have."

The actress's statement went down a storm with her followers with former Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian saying: " I love you, you are AMAZING. I totally get this.

"This is such a huge subject, I can’t wait to talk to you more about it. Thank you for blazing the trail."

Another follower posted: " You are beautiful inside and out. I always wanted to do shoots just like you are but never had the confidence. Your [sic] killing it.... keep doing what feeds your passion."

OnlyFans is fast becoming the go to place for celebs to make money or indeed, 'empower' themselves.

Kate Moss' sister Lottie signed up to the site earlier this year.

She previously said: “Kind of the reason why I’m not doing the modelling stuff is because I’m doing more nude stuff. I really enjoy it.

“I think it’s a shame the industry doesn’t kind of fully accept that."

The Mirror has contacted reps for Sarah Jayne Dunn and Hollyoaks.
