Sarah Jayne Dunn revealed she has a clue who made a complaint about her Only Fans account, which led to her being axed from Hollyoaks.

The actress, who played Mandy Richardson on the Channel 4 soap from 1996 to 2021, was let go from the role after refusing to quit the online platform– a decision which she has now cited as the best she’s ever made.

Sarah’s exit in 2021 was allegedly down to a mystery co-star who logged a formal complaint.

‘Apparently there is one person who complained,’ she told The Sun.

‘I think I know who that is now, I have my suspicions for sure.’

She added: ‘It was like any workplace — you get on with most people, but there will be a couple that you don’t.’

Speaking to Metro.co.uk last year, Sarah Jayne revealed that OnlyFans has given her a platform to be herself rather than a character.

‘I think I’ve just found like a really nice space for me to be me to be creative, to be expressive, to be Sarah, as opposed to a character,’ she enthused.

‘It seems like a no-brainer; I got in touch with the people at OnlyFans and they were really, really helpful and I spoke to a few of the creators about how they found the platform.

‘And I was just like, yeah, this seems like it’s for me.’
