She recently revealed that she's fallen in love with pole dancing, and Sarah Jayne Dunn looked sensational as she showed off the progress that she's made. The former Hollyoaks turned Only Fans star, 41, wowed as she gave an athletic display in a black cut-out swimsuit.
The stunning mum-of-one, who says she has felt more comfortable in her own skin since turning 40, confidently glided around the dancefloor and elegantly climbed up the pole in towering black heels. She showcased her gym-honed figure in the cut-out detail suit with leg strap and knee pads.
Sarah, who left the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks over joining the subscription site OnlyFans known for its racy content, told her Instagram followers as she shared a jaw-dropping video: "Slowly but surely i’m making progress and enjoying every second!"

And she said her new hobby is 'so addictive.' "I’m bruised to b*****y and everything aches but it’s so addictive! I wish I’d started my pole journey sooner but it’s never too late to get out of your comfort zone and try something new," she wrote.
Sarah, who played Mandy Richardson in Hollyoaks, added the hastags: "#polegym #polefitness #poledancing #polenewbie #poledance #fitness #empowerment #womensupportingwomen #femaleempowerment #strength #dance."
Earlier this year mum-of-one Sarah, from Leigh, teamed up with model Rhian Sugden to create a podcast Hot and Bothered. Rhian, who is married to former Coronation Street star Oliver Mellor, reached out to Sarah following the controversy as the actress had to leave the Channel Four soap after joining OnlyFans.
Sarah, who was one of the long-running soap's biggest stars playing Mandy on and off since 1996, was unable to 'reach a resolution' with bosses over her decision to join the site. It is almost a year since she left the show.
A Hollyoaks spokeswoman said that as a 'youth-facing drama with many young viewers' the soap does not allow any Hollyoaks cast members 'to be active on certain 18+ websites.' They said the show had hoped she could remain in the role as mum Mandy but they 'respected' her choice to stay on OnlyFans.
In an interview with Naked Beach star and body confidence advocate Jsky on his BBC Radio Manchester show this summer she said: "Now what I've found with what I've done in the past few months and taking back control, I feel more confident than I've ever felt. I think that's from going 'actually I'm going to own this and I'm going to do this my way.'"
Sarah, who has a six-year-old son Stanley with her husband Jonathan Smith, said: "I'm 40, I look great and I'm more confident than I've ever been. I think I look better than I did in my 20s." Explaining why she was signing up to OnlyFans she admitted at the time that 'some might find it shocking.'
But she told her Instagram followers: 'I'm simply moving my sexier, racier images to another platform." And she penned on her Instagram: "I’ve done men’s mag upon men’s mag and calendar upon calendar, I’ve enjoyed every shoot but never felt like I had much say in them."
A spokeswoman for the soap 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. In the past four years since her return to the show her legacy character has been an integral part of some our most important storylines and we will be very sad to see her go.”
Her friend and former co-star Ali Bastian said: "You are incredible! I had to learn a few years ago for a film and LOVED it! I couldn’t pole dance in heels for the life of me. I’m a bare foot girl… but you are smashing it!" And Gary Lucy, who played her on-screen husband Luke Morgan cheered: "Gwan Dunny."
cherelleravergirl gasped with flame emojis: "Omg I nearly fell off my chair." And justjillcoaching praised: "Absolutely nailed it Sarah. Just incredible."
