dailystar.co.uk:

Sarah Jayne Dunn has said she joined OnlyFans because lockdown made her worry about how to make ends meet. The actress signed up for the adults-only platform last year – and ended up being axed from Hollyoaks over her refusal to give up her account.

But, speaking on Loose Women, she said she had "no regrets" and that it had been a life-changing decision. Sarah, 40, said she had been thinking about signing up for OnlyFans for a while."Lockdown I would say is one of the biggest reasons," she said."It was difficult for all of us.

I particularly found it tough, the uncertainty of knowing what was going to happen after, whether I was going to have a job to go back to, what the situation was."Financially it was difficult, you know, as an actor you are self-employed, and so it was, sort of that, how do we make ends meet month to month?

Like everybody really."The actress - whose husband Jonathan Smith accompanied her on the ITV show – said sticking with the site had been a good decision for her."It's actually changed my life really in the last three months," she said.The star, who found fame as Mandy Richardson in the soap, has been a men's magazine favourite over the years.But she said OnlyFans is different as being in charge of her own content has been "empowering".She said: "It's different because I'm in control, it's different because I'm getting to choose who I am working with, what I'm wearing, I get to make sure my pictures aren't Photoshopped."Photo shoots I have done over the years, I look at some of them now and go, that isn't my body and that never was my body.
