Hollyoaks’ Sarah Jayne Dunn makes £121k in 48 hours as OnlyFans subscribers DOUBLE overnight
AXED Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn made a whopping £121,000 in just 48 hours after her OnlyFans subscribers doubled overnight.
The Sun revealed the soap star had been given the boot from the Channel 4 soap after refusing to stop posting racy images on the adult subscription service.
Just yesterday the soap star had 12,000 "likes" on one of her post and now that figure has almost doubled with 23,000 likes.
Only those that have paid to subscribe to her OnlyFans account for around £11 per month, can like or interact with a post.
And with her 11,000 new followers, Sarah has made an eye-watering £121,000, walking away with a total of £96,800 after OnlyFans deduct 20% commission.
Earlier today, the actress was forced to defend her decision to be on X-rated OnlyFans site during a heated debated on Good Morning Britain.
Sarah Jayne was accused of “glorifying prostitution” as she went head to head with commentator Dominque Samuels.
Dominque argued that the adult subscription service is seen through “rose tinted glasses” and it sends the wrong message to young girls.

In response Sarah hit back saying: “This isn’t about saying everyone should do OnlyFans, this is about taking control of your own images, your own choices and what you want to do with your body.
“That is not saying go out there and do porn, that is saying go out there and take control of what you do.
"It’s not promoting the site and saying everyone should do it. Again, it’s a choice, it’s a choice to do what you want to do on there and it’s about control and it’s not forcing anyone to get on it. “
The 40-year-old cut ties with the soap by deleting it from her Instagram after 26 years as character Mandy Richardson.
The blonde beauty had been earning up to '£7,200 a week' from posting raunchy images on the X-rated website OnlyFans.
When soap bosses found out they they asked her to stop or lose her six-figure salary role as one of the Channel 4 soap's biggest characters.
They insisted her raunchy content, in which she strips for punters, was at odds with the show's young audience.
But Sarah claimed: "I'm simply moving my sexier, racier images to another platform.

"This is a decision I've thought long and hard about. It's about taking back control and confidence and having full power over my choices."
Sarah, who is married to Jonathan Smith and is a mum to three-year-old Stanley, added: "I love doing photoshoots.
"It's how I got into the acting industry ... at the tender age of 12, I decided I wanted to be a model.
"I've been lucky enough to travel to some pretty amazing places for shoots yet I've never felt in control, of the content or of the finances."
It's about taking back control and confidence and having full power over my choices.

A Hollyoaks spokeswoman said: "We take our responsibility to our young audience very seriously. The show does not allow any cast 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 but we respect her choice to continue to produce content on OnlyFans."
