Sarah Jayne Dunn looked pretty in pink as she unveiled a new rose-coloured hairdo and talked to fans about having an 'ultimate health screening.' The Hollyoaks turned OnlyFans star, who has a young son, decided to have tests as a mum now in her 40s.
She told fans "I did something very important for myself." Sarah underwent a screening at Pall Mall Medical in Manchester, including a smear test, an ultrsound and blood tests, to gain 'peace of mind.'
She explained to her Instagram followers: "Obviously I am in my early 40s now. I have a child. Touch wood I have never had any medical issues but having all these tests now when I don't have any symptoms - and as far as I'm aware I'm perfectly healthy - is a good time to have al these health checks because with all the tests that they do it can show up anything that may not have any symptoms."
She added: "And obviously I have a family and I'm of a certain age. It's going to be great, hopefully to give me peace of mind or if anything is discovered to follow up on that."

The 41-year-old said: "I am a little bit anxious but I'm a big girl." Sarah said about her appointment: "I'm not going to lie I am a little bit anxious but I'm a big girl. I think I have blood tests, a smear test, a breast screening and I think there's an ultrasound as well."
She added later: "My first appointment was with the gynaecologist. I had an ultrasound of my stomach and womb, a smear test and an internal ultrasound. This can show signs of ovarian cysts or fybroids. It was quick, painless (just a little bit uncomfortable)."
Sarah left Channel Four soap Hollyoaks in 2021 to continue posting pictures on the subscription site OnlyFans saying it's the 'best decision I ever made.'
Sarah, who has a five-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 twenties.
Sarah, who was one of the long-running soap's biggest stars playing Mandy Richardson, was unable to 'reach a resolution' with bosses. 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. Explaining why she was signing up to OnlyFans she admitted at the time that 'some might find it shocking' but 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."
