Sarah Jayne Dunn has thrown her support behind Sammy Winward’s daughter Mia.
Emmerdale star Sammy Winward seems to have cut off her teen daughter after she started selling saucy snaps on an adult platform. Mia, 19, claims she hasn’t spoken to her famous mum in four months after a row.
She told The Sun: “She said some pretty mean things when we did last speak, it was awful. But I absolutely love my mum, I love all of my family but none of them speak to me now.”

She also alleged that the rest of her family – including her dad – have distanced themselves from her. But soap star Sarah Jayne Dunn has sent her a supportive message wishing her “all the success” on the subscription-based site.
The 42-year-old actress was axed from Hollyoaks after joining the site in 2021, and has since become one of its most successful creators – with reported earnings of around £700k a year. She told Daily Star: “I wish Mia all the success with her OnlyFans, and I hope she finds it as rewarding as I have done since I launched on the site.
“It has been an incredibly safe space and very empowering for me. Whilst I can’t comment on the personal aspect of the story, I do hope everyone is ok and things work themselves out with time.”
Sarah now hosts her Hot and Bothered podcast, where she discusses all things sex, relationships and motherhood. The actress has also just qualified as a pole dancing instructor, but she’s not ruled out a return to acting.
Mia reportedly earns up to £30,000 a month selling sexy snaps on OnlyFans. Mia says she’s hopeful about repairing her relationship with her mum, who played Katie Sugden in the ITV soap from 2001 until 2015.
The teen revealed she hasn’t spoken to her dad – former Blackburn footballer David Dunn – following the family drama. She added: “I think they’re just being protective of me. It’s not been nice and some of the conversations we had before we stopped talking weren’t great.
“But I will always love and appreciate them. I hope that one day we can rebuild our relationship and move on.” Daily Star has previously contacted Sammy’s representative for comment.
In 2021, Mia appeared on Loose Women with Sammy, where she discussed wanting to follow her mum into acting. She decided to start an OnlyFans account earlier this year after speaking to friends using the platform.
Mia, who initially found work as a make-up artist after leaving school, says she now earns ten times what she used to. The teen says she feels “so empowered” on the site as she’s her “own boss” and is confident in what she does.
However, she says she won’t be on the platform forever and only plans on doing it for a couple of years before entering the property business. She says it will “give her the freedom not to work rather than being stuck in a nine to five”.
