Sarah Jayne Dunn has reflected on her exit from Hollyoaks after her contract was terminated due to the mum-of-one launching an OnlyFans page. Sarah was on the show for over two decades, but her time on Hollyoaks came to an abrupt end last year in the wake of her decision to keep her account, despite her having "approval" from Channel 4. Two months on from the ordeal, Sarah, 40, has chatted with OK! and explained how shocked she was at how the soap handled the situation.
She explained: “It’s not something I did on a whim. It’s something that I’d been planning for months and I’d had discussions, and zoom calls, and emails, and I essentially had approval, so for them to then turn around and call me in for a meeting on the Friday, and then terminate my contract on the Wednesday with immediate effect was a huge shock.” “After 25 years on and off working there and giving my life and my all – I loved it there over the years, so it was upsetting,” Sarah added. “It was a shock that that was how they decided to handle it.” The mum-of-one went on to say that she would have stayed on the programme "forever" if her contract hadn't been terminated, but feels like in the wake of her exit that "things have gone in (her) favour".
Sarah said: “It was never my intention to leave the show, it wasn’t my choice to leave the show, and it wasn’t my choice to tell everybody that I’d left. It was all things that [Hollyoaks] took into their own hands. “It was out of my control, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and, actually, it’s really all gone in my favour which is amazing.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
