Sarah Jayne Dunn is 'on a mission' to celebrate female empowerment

Sarah Jayne Dunn is “on a mission” to celebrate female empowerment.

The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star thinks that “building other women up” is vital in the build up to International Women’s Day.

While promoting the new Lovehoney Lingerie on her Instagram, the 40-year-old influencer said: “Never underestimate the power of a woman on a mission.

Building other women up and supporting each other is the most incredible thing, just watch us soar."

Sarah has joined up with the sex toy brand to become one of the 50 women on Lovehoney's Wall of Female Empowerment, which has been created to mark the worldwide celebration of women on March 8th.

Fans gushed about the picture - which shows Sarah sporting the brand’s Boudoir Belle cherry push-up basque set - with one saying 'Wowza' and another commenting: "One beautiful woman."

For Sarah, she feels empowered by “inspiring other people” and combatted censorship by “living in [her] truth and owning [her] power” after she left the Channel 4 soap to continue posting sexy snaps on her OnlyFans page.

Earlier this year, Sarah was given the ultimatum of either quitting OnlyFans or giving up her long-running role as Mandy Richardson and opted to keep posting on the subscription-based app.

She said: "I'm not doing anything different to what I've done over the years,” comparing her pictures to the annual Hollyoaks calendar."

In a statement, a spokesperson for the long-running series said:"Hollyoaks is a youth-facing drama with many young viewers, who follow our cast very closely, both in the soap and outside of it. We take our responsibility to our young audience very seriously and therefore the show does not allow any Hollyoaks cast members to be active on certain 18+ websites.

"We had hoped we could reach a resolution with Sarah that would allow her to remain in her role as Mandy, but we respect her choice to continue to produce content on OnlyFans."
