Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn is officially hotter than ever.
The actress, who plays feisty Mandy, says that she feels sexier the older she gets and, at 39, reckons she is in the best shape of her life.
She told the Daily Star Sunday: “I am finding that my body confidence is growing as I get older. That’s not typically something you’d expect.
“I am the healthiest and possibly fittest and happiest I have ever been, and I believe that confidence radiates out.
“I also find that the older I get, the less I care about what people think or say about me. That’s their opinion and it really has nothing to do with me unless I allow it to affect me.”

Sarah has followed a tough fitness regime since becoming a mum to son Stanley in 2016. It includes weights, spin sessions on a bike and interval training.
She added: “I love working out and found a real passion for it after I had Stanley. When I realised how strong and confident I could feel and how much my body could achieve, I was hooked.
“I try to keep active every day, going for long walks and keeping my steps up. I love my body and what it’s done for me, and I am proud to show it off.

“And hopefully that encourages other women to feel confident in their own beautiful skin too.”
Sarah, who has also appeared in Casualty and Doctors, jumped at the chance to pose for our photoshoot. After years on the telly, she is a natural in front of the camera.
She said: “I absolutely love doing photoshoots. I wish we did more of them. It’s a chance to dress up and feel glamorous. I have always embraced them.”

It is 25 years since Sarah first appeared in Hollyoaks and producers are still putting her at the centre of the action.
This year Mandy has been locked in a love triangle after her husband Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson)
rekindled his passion for his ex Nancy (Jessica Fox).
Sarah said: “I have known some of the cast and crew for over 25 years now and have strong friendships.
“I have so much respect for the hard work they put in and for how we work together as a team.”
