Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn has raked in more than £1.5million from her OnlyFans career, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The actress, 44, who played Mandy Richards on and off for 25 years, was axed from the soap after an unnamed co-star logged a formal complaint, and bosses have since changed cast members’ contracts to ban them from launching their own OnlyFans.
But despite it losing her the Hollyoaks gig, Sarah has enjoyed a bumper payday from her raunchy content.
Books for Catpig Ltd, a firm Sarah set up to take in cash from her venture, that cover the last two years show she’s made around £500,000 over the past two years.
And in the previous 24 months of trading, 2022 and 2023, she earned just over £1million – taking her total for the last four years to over £1.5million.
For this year alone, Sarah’s firm boasts a bottom line of £369,000 in cash and assets.

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 sacked from the Chester-based Channel 4 soap in November 2021 after being told to close her subscription-only page.
Fans pay £11-a-month to view racy content and videos and can pay extra fees for exclusive snaps sent straight to their inboxes by the star.
Canny Sarah also 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.
Earlier this year Sarah claimed OnlyFans is ‘safer’ than working on Hollyoaks – three-years after her saucy snaps got her axed from the Channel 4 soap.
She said she now feels more in control after previously being the victim of a terrifying stalker ordeal that saw her bombarded with ‘disturbing’ messages, that show bosses were unable to do anything about.
She told The Sun: ‘[OnlyFans] has actually been a much safer space than the likes of Instagram or TikTok or any of the other platforms that I use and that I am active on’.

‘I was getting horrendous messages on Instagram through an account, really disturbing that I went to Hollyoaks with and I contacted the police about. But they don’t do anything and they can’t do anything. And that’s terrifying.’
Sarah continued: ‘I went to Hollyoaks and it was a case of “right, just send us what he sent you'” And then I went to the police and there’s not much they can do, it’s really scary actually.’
She went on to explain how messages sent to her on OnlyFans, unlike other social media sites, are pixilated and she can now choose whether to look at them or not.
Sarah slammed bosses for ‘blatant hypocrisy’ after being ‘sexualised’ through calendar shoots on the soap.
She also revealed trolls furiously branded her ‘cheap’ for joining OnlyFans, but insists she ‘wished she’d done it sooner.’
Speaking to The Sun for their Shamed YouTube series, Sarah revealed she was branded ’embarrassing’ by trolls for setting up an OnlyFans account.
She said: ‘I’d been sexualised and been made an object of sexual desire for my entire adult life.
‘To then be told I couldn’t do it on my own terms? That was really the bit that stung because it just didn’t make sense to me.’
In 2023 she 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.’
