‘I stood my ground… and it changed everything’: Sarah Jayne Dunn, 44, rakes in eye-watering seven-figure fortune from OnlyFans after being axed from Hollyoaks — as the star reveals how losing her soap job led to ‘freedom, empowerment… and zero regrets’ - suong
SARAH Jayne Dunn has raked in an eye-watering SEVEN figure payday from OnlyFans after being axed from Hollyoaks, The Sun can reveal.
The former soap star, 44, played the role of Mandy Richardson in Hollyoaks for over two decades until she was suddenly sacked after she joined the adult only platform.
Since making the move to OnlyFans, Sarah Jayne has raked in a HUGE amount of money.
The Sun can now reveal a firm she set up to take in cash from her venture boasts a bottom line of £369,000 in cash and assets.
Books for Catpig Ltd that cover the last two years show she’s raked in around £500,000.
In the previous 24 months of trading, she earned around £1m.
Sarah also owns a property firm and splashed £250,000 on her first rental property in an upmarket area of Cheshire.
The popular actress was axed from the Chester-based Channel 4 soap in November 2021 after being told her close her subscription-only page.
Fans pay £11 a month to see racy content and videos and can pay extra fees for exclusive snaps sent straight to their inboxes by the star.
Canny Sarah set up a firm called Catpig Properties Ltd so she can sink her cash into bricks and mortar.
Records show the outfit has bought a two-bed semi to rent out.
The Sun have approached Sarah Jayne’s rep for a comment.
In 2023, Sarah celebrated a year on OnlyFans and told devotees: “One year on. One year ago today I stood my ground for one of the first times in my life.
“It was scary as hell, I didn’t really know what direction this journey would take me in, I just knew that I had to do what was right for me and my family, and standing my ground and following my heart and my gut has taken me on the most exciting journey over the last year.
“A journey of freedom, empowerment, taking back control, joy and fun.
“I believe everything happens for a reason and I have zero regrets over my choices.”
Meanwhile, Sarah recently joined Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on their parenting podcast, Made By Mammas, to discuss OnlyFans.
The star explained that her son, Stanley, started to realise his mum was well-known a few years ago, and even asked her if she’s famous.
“Little questions will come up,” Sarah said, as she explained that he doesn’t always get why people stop to ask for selfies in the street.
But since leaving the soap, explaining her work as an “accidental influencer” to her son has become more tricky.
Sarah said: “I’ve got this history of being on screen and being part of a big established show.
“But I think a lot about this, how do I explain to him what I do now?”
Despite it not being her choice to eventually leave Hollyoaks, the mum confessed it was the best thing that could’ve happened to her.
She added: “I had no choice because essentially I’m the breadwinner out of myself and my husband and I can’t not work.”
Sarah said she still enjoys working and wanted to set a good example for her son.
She told how she likes to maintain the comfortable lifestyle the family has become accustomed to.
“We have a lovely lifestyle and I want to maintain that,” she continued.
“I want Stan to see that mum and dad work hard, and that it’s not a chore. We do something we enjoy and that we choose to do.”
PI Bo Dietl Slams Luis Ruelas’ RHONJ Claims as 'Total Lies' and Responds to Lawsuit Involving Luis’ Ex Vanessa Reiser trucc
Bo Dietl is speaking out about the “nonsense” and “total lies” that Luis Ruelas said about him on the 13th season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Years after Luis, 50, claimed Bo, 74, brought him “information on each person” on the cast and alleged that the private investigator knew “sh*t about everybody” on the season 13 finale, Bo said that while Terasa Giudice‘s spouse did ask him to “do something for him,” it had “nothing to do with the show.”
“Luis asked me to do something for him — nothing to do with the show,” Bo told Radar Online on October 27 about how they met. “I like Teresa and Luis personally, but I’ve never done background work on the cast. And the whole ‘Bo has dirt on everyone’ is nonsense. Total lies.”
“Luis yelled… ‘I got Bo Dietl!’ claiming I had dirt on everyone. All nonsense. I told him, ‘Don’t throw my name around unless you’re hiring me.’ If you pay, I will do it legally,” he continued.
While Luis eventually admitted that his claims about Bo and the supposed information he gathered were “misstated … out of anger” at the reunion, the drama was “too much nonsense” for Bo.
“I deal with real life – killings, threats, kidnappings, corporate investigations. Luis throwing my name out there with ‘dirt on everyone’ is embarrassing,” Bo explained. “People think I did background investigation work on the cast. Never happened. I’ve been a homicide detective, a businessman, and a private investigator for decades, and I know the difference between real work and nonsense TV drama.”
In addition to being dragged into the drama of RHONJ, Bo also found himself named in a February 2024 lawsuit that accused him, Luis, and others of hacking into computers to “harass and abuse” Luis’ ex, Vanessa Reiser.
“I never hacked anyone’s computers,” Bo insisted. “There’s absolutely no evidence because it never happened. I’ve spent over 40 years in law enforcement and private investigations, and people love to throw my name around to create drama or get attention. It’s embarrassing. If this goes to court, I’ll be there. I’ve got nothing to hide.”
“All the drama, all the nonsense from reality shows or the media? Forget it. Real life is about love, family, frends, and enjoying the life you’ve built together. That’s what counts,” he concluded.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is currently on hiatus ahead of its 15th season.
