Sarah Jane Dunn's OnlyFans update after Hollyoaks exit - with shock career twist
Ex Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn details her shock exit from the soap but says she feels sexier than ever as she updates on her OnlyFans success and surprise new career
Former Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jayne Dunn says she feels sexier than ever as she addresses early fame, her thriving OnlyFans career, and her shock exit from the Channel 4 soap. The Manchester-born star is currently flying the flag for lingerie brand Raine & Bea's 'Theatrical flair for everyday wear' campaign, and at 41, is determined not to let age or what she calls 'social conditioning' stand in the way of her stripping off.
'I feel so much more comfortable and confident in my body today,' she exclusively tells OK!. 'I don't feel like I'm trying to tick any box of what I want my body to be, I just want to be strong and healthy and have longevity. I want to get older to still be fit and strong. I want to be able to play with my son, to continue to go to the gym, that's what's important.' Here, she opens up exclusively to OK! on motherhood with eight-year-old Stanley, being in control of her OnlyFans content, and her new job - as a pole instructor…

Speaking about the new lingerie campaign, Sarah said: "It's such an honour to be ambassador for the new Raine and Bea collection. I've been a fan of Jenna's work for years now and always love wearing her pieces, I'm so excited that she's bringing her work to the masses with her diffusion line and the collection is stunning. I felt a million dollars wearing one of her new designs on launch night. I can't wait to wear more of the collection soon!"
You look incredible in the new Raine & Bea lingerie range. Where do you find your confidence?
When it comes to lingerie, I choose what to wear depending on how I want to feel, as opposed to what I want someone else to get out of it. It's nice to get to our 40s and maybe be mums and wives but also feel sexy, because we get to that stage where we're told we shouldn't be sexual any more. It's nice to give a finger to that and go, 'Sod what you think, because I feel confident and empowered!.'
Have you always felt that way?
The older I've got, the more confident I've become in my own skin. I started on screen when I was 14. I was still finding myself and my body was still changing. My body was being scrutinised and as I got older I did jobs where it was edited without my permission. My boobs were made bigger and my tummy was made flawless. And all the natural things – imperfections is the wrong word, because they're not imperfections – were removed. So I grew up not knowing what my body should or did look like. I'd see a picture of it in a lads' mag, then look at it in the mirror, and it was different.
That must've been hard to cope with…
I'm really lucky that I've got a supportive family and I've got my head screwed on, otherwise I might've been more affected. As I've gotten older, from my 30s onwards, I've put in work for many different reasons with therapy and coaching, which I recommend to anyone. It's so important to work through anything that anyone's been through.
Have you ever been criticised for being 'too sexy'?
I remember going to an event once in a mini skirt and crop top, feeling super confident. The next day I overheard a girl that I knew say 'Any woman over 30 shouldn't wear a skirt over their knees'. I thought, 'Wow', and found it really sad because I could see that's how she'd been conditioned and she was projecting her insecurities onto me. I don't want younger women to feel that way.
You've been doing OnlyFans for over three years now. Are you enjoying it?
It's great! I've got a lovely following and I create content that I was creating anyway but I do it now on my terms and it really works for me. I won't do it forever, but it's given me a really comfortable life and I enjoy it, so I don't see myself stopping it any time soon.
You've hanged the narrative around it a bit, would you agree?
I think so. The reason why I spoke out about being on the platform so much was because I want to change the narrative. Some are stuck in the idea that it's only one thing, and it's not. Yes there's explicit content, but that's why it's strictly for over-18s, and it's not what I do.
It must be good to feel in control of what you're putting out there...
Yes, and one of the reasons I've become a 'voice', is because I put my foot down against being sexualised and monetised by others and not benefiting at all, saying 'this isn't okay any more'. I think that resonated with a lot of people. I used to be a bit of a people pleaser, and I think a lot of us feel like that, so it's nice to see somebody set boundaries, take control and succeed. I've had lots of support, particularly from women.
You're also incredible on the pole aren't you?!
Well I'm lucky that I've found a hobby that's also a sport that I really enjoy. It's a sort of gymnastics exercise because of the flexibility and strength, and there's an element of dance, too. I love it! I'm so inspired by the women that go to my classes who are in their 60s. I just think, 'Wow, I want to be you!'. I've also just started teaching classes which is amazing.
Would you like to go back to acting?
I never really left, it was sort of misconstrued. When I joined OnlyFans, it was never my intention to leave the show [Hollyoaks]. That decision was taken out of my hands, and widely publicised. When you're an actor, you don't ever 'leave', you're in-between jobs. I've auditioned for other stuff, and if the right job came along and it fitted into my life and schedule, then I'd do it.
Do you ever miss life on set?
I've been acting since I was a teen, so there's always going to be part of me that misses it. But I've got a lovely life now, loads of free time and I love being my own boss. One thing I do miss is the banter and the camaraderie of being with people and creating something together. But a lot of jobs involve working away from home, and I don't want to do that for long periods because of my son.

Katie Price says 'I'd support Princess with OnlyFans' but one thing stopping her
Former glamour model Katie Price, who rose to fame as Jordan, has announced the return of her alter-ego and says she will support her teen daughter if she wishes to follow in her footsteps Former glamour model Katie Price has revealed that she'd support daughter Princess if she wanted to follow in her footsteps on OnlyFans. It comes as the glamour model mum-of-five prepares to bring back her X-rated alter ego Jordan with the help of new AI technology. Katie built her career in the 1990s as Jordan, however, after nearly 20 years as her alter-ego, Katie ditched her moniker and career went in a different direction. Now, mum-of-five Katie has declared 'Jordan has never gone away' and is making a comeback. Entrepreneur Katie, 47, has partnered with OChat to resurrect Jordan so that fans will be able to 'chat' with the busty model online thanks to AI. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Katie tells us: "The thing is, Jordan has never gone away it's the media that turned Jordan to Kate, I never did that. But that's why I do the OnlyFans because I still love posing in front of the camera, posing how I did in the Jordan days. But there's no magazines and there's no platforms for that anymore, like in the print world." READ MORE: Katie Price sends Harvey back to college early after he destroyed £3k television She adds: "I'm so excited because, like I say, things must have happened for a reason. Because who would've thought, three decades ago when I started off as Jordan, that 30 years on there would be such thing as AI so all of the archive I've got has been so amazing to use on this platform." Meanwhile, Katie says she's excited for the younger generation to meet Jordan for the first time. "I'm so excited and the younger generation – because I always get asked when I'm live on TikTok and stuff, people are like, 'Who's Jordan' now they'll get to see who Jordan is, yes, bring her back," she says. Although Katie has been taking a trip down memory lane through her archive of Jordan snaps recently, she still feels as sexy as ever at the age of 47. When asked what her secret is, she spills: "Age, for me, is just a number. Yes, I know I have surgery and stuff like that but I don't have surgery to look younger – I just look fresher. But age doesn't bother me at all because I still feel as if I'm young. I'm still young-hearted and I still do the things that I want to do, nothing has changed just because I've got older and I'm looking forward to turning 50 because I'll be even sexier at 50!" As well as her career, Katie also juggles being a mum to her five children; Harvey, 23, Junior, 19, Princess, 17, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10. And Junior and Princess, who she shares with her ex Peter Andre, have been carving out their own careers in the showbiz industry in recent years. Junior has released his own music while Princess is embarking on an flourishing career in influencing – and even managed to buy herself a £10,000 Audi car from her earnings in recent weeks. Katie makes her pride of her children no secret as, when asked what she's most proud of Princess and Junior for she gushes: "How talented they are, how beautiful they are. Beautiful humans inside and out. How well mannered they are." The mum is supportive of both their flourishing careers, and revealed that she would support Princess if she wishes to follow down her own career path and join OnlyFans. She teases: "Who knows, Princess may end up doing an AI or OnlyFans platform – but when I ask her – she's 18 next month – she's all busy doing her skincare and stuff like that so she… although she's in the industry and doing her own thing, I was a bit more ballsy and I was more extrovert, does that make sense? [She's] no exhibitionist like me. "We're very alike but she's more reserved. I think anybody, if you're 18, can do OnlyFans or this new AI thing because, yeah, anything goes for anyone out there. I think people have got this stigma with the OChat or OnlyFans that it has to be all sexual and it doesn't at all. All I do on OnlyFans is what they're basically going to be showing on the AI. Anything I used to do in the Jordan days will be on the AI." Whatever path any of her children choose to pursue, Katie will always be there to support and provide advice. When asked what advice she'd give her kids, she reveals: "I speak to them everyday and see them everyday. I would never stop them, they've got to work things out themselves. "All I'd say is, don't have all your eggs in one basket with management because, you know, it doesn't work like that. And I think there would be people out there who just want to try and turn them into me but I want her… there's only one me and there will be only one Princess, I want them to be individuals because the last thing I want is them to say [is], 'oh you're just copying your mum, haven't you got your own identity'. "But the good thing is Princess has got her own identity. There's things that she turns down and I'm like, 'why would you turn that down?' We are different like that, which is good. "Junior is an amazing musician, dancer, singer. I've got no doubt in him he will make it as a pop star. And Princess, she's turning 18 next month, just let them enjoy it I don't want them to feel pressured and they're doing good, really proud of them."

Katie Price launches an online sex bot because 'no one is controlling me'
Katie Price has pretty much ticked off every career opportunity, whether it be best-selling books, hit reality TV series, modelling campaigns, or adult content creation. But while she's now mostly known for making headlines with her tumultuous personal life, the former Page 3 model first shot to fame as her sultry alter ego Jordan in the late 1990s. The character was much more than a pseudonym, as she spent eight years working under the persona, fronting lads' mags and flaunting her surgically enhanced breasts in glamour shoots. Fast forward to 2025, and Katie, who reverted to her 'real name' over a decade ago, is keen to give fans an unexpected taste of nostalgia. So, Jordan is back… sort of. Katie, 47, has joined OhChat, a US-based AI platform where users can live out their spicy fantasies with a twist. Allowing fans to interact with Jordan, Katie's physical likeness and voice have been recreated in the form of a hyper-realistic digital twin. Thanks to the cutting-edge technology, people can experience the otherwise impossible. Listen, we get it, OK? It's a lot to process. So, who better than the woman herself to explain it? In an exclusive interview with Metro, Katie details exactly why she wanted to join the likes of Carmen Electra and Brande Roderick to be transformed into an AI sex doll, and how she's embracing no longer being 'controlled' by anyone. 'Who would ever have thought that after nearly 20 years, Jordan would be brought back as an AI version? It's so clever how we did it,' she begins. 'We used loads of photos. I had to speak for half an hour so they'd get my voice, my tone, my personality, and just so they could create my digital twin. 'Jordan's back! But as AI.' Asked what memories her Jordan era holds for her, Katie has nothing but glowing things to say. 'Fun, absolute fun, amazing times, loved it. Loved every bit. Loved being in front of the camera. I miss doing those kinds of photoshoots, which is why I do OnlyFans.' Katie has raked in thousands from her saucy OnlyFans content, although this income took a hit when a judge ruled she had to give up 40% of her monthly cheque amid her second bankruptcy. But her financial woes haven't stopped her – far from it – as Katie is now capitalising on the desires of her fans with both her own NSFW snaps and those of AI Jordan. 'Basically, I've got my digital twin doing the Jordan stuff, then I do the OnlyFans, so you get to see both of me! So could we say it's Jordan versus Kate now?' The TV queen jokes that she might even have a conversation with AI Jordan just to 'see what happens'. 'It'll be interesting. Who knows what's gonna come out of her mouth! No one knows; it's AI. She's got her own thing going on. That's the fun of it.' Katie also feels like the birth of her digital twin marks the beginning of a new era for her, too. While Jordan was her life growing up, the character has since merged with who she actually is, allowing her to now 'start afresh with the knowledge and experience' she acquired in her twenties. 'It is me, at the end of the day. It was me in my younger years. There's nothing I'd change.' As for the longevity she's enjoyed and how people have remained interested for all this time, Katie admits that there's no real secret to it—although she's constantly keeping herself 'on her toes', never mind the rest of us. 'I'm just me, and I think that's why people can relate, because I'm not manufactured, I am myself, and I do go through dramas just like everyone else, and I think everyone has followed my journey,' she explains. 'Nothing is vanilla with me. There are a lot of people in the industry, and you hear what they've got coming out, then it comes out, and it's just the same old, same old, whereas with me, you never know what's around the corner, ever, and that's what I love. 'Sometimes, I don't even know what's around the corner, and when it comes, I just go with it.' Keen to also introduce the TikTok generation to the wild antics of Jordan, the mum-of-five acknowledges that youngsters get confused by who she actually is. 'People are like, 'Who's Jordan?' And I'm like, 'Just Google it!' But now, they have a chance to get to know the old me, but it's still the new me, if that makes sense.' But why the AI twin, exactly? Well, why not, as Katie would likely say. The media personality is embracing no longer feeling like anyone 'controls' her, declaring that, after previously feeling like 'a product to some people, not a human being,' she's 'not going to be dictated to by anyone anymore'. Nothing is vanilla with me As for the advice she'd give herself back in Jordan's heyday, knowing what she does know, Katie has a firm response. 'First of all, men choices! And be careful who you work with, because there are lots of snakes out there who promise you everything, and they end up stitching you up, taking your money, and things like that. 'I learned the hard way that there's always someone out there to get you. More Trending 'But now, I'm in control and that's an amazing feeling.' 'I've got no one controlling me, I do what I want to do, and now Jordan has come back, I feel like Kate's started off again,' she says defiantly. 'I've been through all this s**t, I've come out fresh and so has my digital twin. Jordan and Kate are off again.'

Nursery teacher turned OnlyFans star to SUE student's dad who leaked x-rated pics to football mates and got her sacked
A CATHOLIC nursery school teacher turned OnlyFans star is set to sue the dad of a pupil who got her sacked after leaking her X-rated snaps. Elena Maraga, 29, became the centre of a scandal after her erotic online account filled with adult content was leaked to a football team's group chat. 6 6 6 6 She was suspended without pay from her job at a nursery in north Italy after refusing to delete the account before being sacked. Although she fought fiercely to stay, church leaders said her adult content had exposed the school to "reputational risks". Now Elena is suing the dad she says found her OnlyFans profile and leaked the subscriber-only pictures to a football fans' group chat. The racey snaps spread like wildfire before the dad's wife reported the miss to the school authorities. Elena said: 'There are parents who accused me, but they are the same ones who paid to see me. It's embarrassing. "They made me look like a harlot, but who is the immoral one? "I want to give voice to all those women who, like me, have felt condemned or punished for doing things that men also do without facing any consequences. "Me, who can do what I want with my body in my spare time, or them, who pay to watch and then condemn? "I'm tired of the injustices I've suffered." Elena also filed complaints against three social media users for allegedly defamatory comments posted after the revelation broke. OnlyFans star Merve Taskin ARRESTED over offering Valentine's night with fan for £9k…& listing what she'd give in return The miss turned OnlyFans star is also facing a second legal battle in an appeal for financial compensation against school officials who she says dismissed her without reason. She said: "Despite everything, I miss the children - but not the problems related to that job that I loved. "But today I would not go back." School authorities said her contract would be terminated "for just cause with immediate effect. It claimed that her OnlyFans account "contrasts with the Catholic inspiration that guides the educational direction of the school". The controversy was unearthed after the father of one of her pupils allegedly bought photos from her OnlyFans. Maraga claims that the man's wife found out after he distributed the pictures to a football group. But the 29-year-old has blasted the way her former employer handled the matter. She said: "They attacked me, saying I was seeking media attention. "Taking compromising photos has never compromised my professionalism at work. "The school has never wanted to talk to me, they have always acted with letters and have never wanted dialogue. 6 6 "I am surprised that a Catholic school that preaches morality treats an employee in this way." The Italian education ministry has signalled its intent to draw up a new code of ethics to prevent teachers appearing on adult sites, The Telegraph has reported. Maraga told Italian media she has a degree in Educational Sciences and that she had been working in a Catholic nursery for five years. She told Il Messaggero: "I love being a nursery school teacher, it was my vocation since I was a child." She added that she opened the account one month ago "partly for fun, partly out of curiosity, partly to see if you could really earn money". She said: "In one day I get a month's salary."
