Former Hollyoaks actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has responded after being told that her underwear snaps are 'damaging' to teenage girls. Sarah, who last year left the Channel Four soap to continue posting her racier images on the subscription site OnlyFans, known for its adult content, was messaged by a woman following her most recent post on Instagram.

The 40-year-old mum-of-one, from Leigh, has explained why she 'highly disagrees' with the critical message, saying she hopes teenage girls do see her posts and that she can inspire them to have body confidence and 'stand their ground.' She wrote on her Instagram Stories: "I woke up today to one comment, from a woman, on my most recent post. I don't normally respond but this one irked me.

Sarah, who has a six-year-old son Stanley with her husband Jonathan Smith, clapped back: "Well I highly disagree. I hope teenage girls do see my posts. I hope they see a confident, strong woman in her 40s (her prime in my opinion) who stood her ground, started using the word 'no' when she was unhappy with things in her life and took back control."
