FORMER Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn has posted an emotional message to fans of the soap for “having her back”.
Earlier this week HOAR revealed that the actress was sacked from her role on the Channel 4 soap after refusing to quit stripping on the controversial 18+ network.
The soap star has been stripping off online for several weeks and bosses had to give her a warning over her conduct because of the show’s young audience.
Sarah refused to quit the site and has now lost her job.
The actress – who has played Mandy Richardson on off since 1996 in the soap – has had plenty of support from fans over the past few days.
Earlier today she took to Instagram to acknowledge them all.
Sarah told her: “Hey everybody! It’s been a manic, manic week but I just want to jump on here quickly and say thank you, thank you so much for all of your support.
“I’ve been so overwhelmed by the response and how amazing you’ve all been and how reassuring, yeah, you’ve got my back. It’s lovely.
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the bottom of my heart and have a lovely Friday.
Sarah was forced to defend her decision to be on X-rated OnlyFans site during a heated debated on Good Morning Britain today.
She was accused of “glorifying prostitution” as she went head to head with commentator Dominque Samuels on today’s show.
Dominque argued that the over 18s site is seen through “rose tinted glasses” and it sends the wrong message to young girls.
She said: “In my opinion I think it promotes a commodification and glorification of quite frankly prostitution and I don’t think it’s healthy for young girls.
“The reality is most young women go into sex work because of things like mental health, addiction , poverty.”
In response Sarah hit back saying: “This isn’t about saying everyone should do OnlyFans, this is about taking control of your own images, your own choices and what you want to do with your body.
“That is not saying go out there and do porn, that is saying go out there and take control of what you do. It’s not promoting the site and saying everyone should do it. Again, it’s a choice, it’s a choice to do what you want to do on there and it’s about control and it’s not forcing anyone to get on it. “
Earlier this week, HOAR revealed that Sarah Jayne’s tenure on the popular show had come to an abrupt end because of her involvement with OnlyFans.
Since then they have been labelled “hypocrites” by fans, who have claimed that the soap’s storylines are racier than her pics.
Sarah has enjoyed six separate stints on Hollyoaks over the years, most recently reprising her role in 2017.
