Sarah Jayne Dunn shows off her toned figure in a skimpy thong bikini as she hits the beach in Barbados with family

She enjoys wintering in Barbados with her husband Jonathan Smith and son Stanley.

And Sarah Jayne Dunn looked in good spirits as she enjoyed a family day at the beach on Thursday.

The Hollyoaks star-and-OnlyFans model, 42, looked sensational as she flaunted her figure in a tiny bikini.

The floral two-piece highlighted her toned abs and peachy bum as she walked along the seafront before jumping into the sea.

She completed the look with a dainty gold chain and bracelet, while her drenched golden locks were swept back into a ponytail.

She wasted no time in jumping into the action with her seven-year-old son, diving into the water to tackle an inflatable obstacle course.

During her time away, Sarah enjoyed a mini Hollyoaks reunion with Jodi Albert, who played Debbie Dean in the soap and is married to Westlife's Kian Egan.

Jodi flew to Barbados with Kian and their three children, Koa, 12, Zeke, eight, and Cobi, six.

Jodi and Kian attended Sarah's wedding to Jonathan in 2018, along with Ali and co-stars Carley Stenson and Danny Mac.

Sarah rose to fame on the Channel 4 soap in 1996 and played Mandy for 25 years before she was famously sacked in 2021 after refusing to give up her lucrative OnlyFans career.

OnlyFans is an internet subscription service used primarily by sex workers who produce X-rated content.

Sarah has claimed to earn over £700,000 on the platform, almost six times what she earned at the height of her career on Hollyoaks.

The content creator also hosts a podcast, Hot & Bothered, where she admitted that she will likely give up OnlyFans once her son gets older.

She said at the time: “One of the biggest things I've done by doing OnlyFans is, when you're a mother, you know, you can't do that.”

'I'm a really good mother. Isn't the most important thing that he is loved, that he is happy and that he is fed?

“And he's only six (now seven) years old. So for me, at some point I'll probably reach that stage and say, “Okay, okay. Maybe it's time to end it.”

“If maybe Stan's about to go to high school or something. Fortunately, for the time being, he is attending a wonderful school with wonderful parents and beautiful children. Everyone knows it and it's okay.'

Sarah previously launched a new attack on Hollyoak bosses, calling them hypocritical for sacking her over her OnlyFans career.

Speaking about the Dirty mother Pukka podcast, she claimed she once felt “violated” over a sex scene with an enthusiastic new actor.

She also accused bosses of making an unnamed actress cry after a naked shower scene that she said was done on “their terms.”

A spokesperson for the soap told MailOnline that they were 'not aware' of Sarah's complaints about her time on Hollyoaks.

Sarah was famously sacked from the Channel 4 soap after refusing to stop making her OnlyFans content.

But she claims she asked the soap's bosses if it would be okay if she posted sexy pictures of herself on the website, and she claims they gave her permission – only to later fire her for it.

Sarah said: “They knew about it. I'd had meetings, I'd had zoom meetings. I told them I was considering the platform.

“They were hesitant, they weren't sure, and when I explained that I wasn't going to do explicit content — that's obviously not my thing — I was literally just going to move my content from Instagram to OnlyFans, they were okay with that internally.

'The contract works in such a way that you have to get permission to do something outside the program. And I'm a good girl, I always have been. I'm very professional, so I'm moving in the right direction.'

She said it was all fine “until I launched,” adding, “so then it wasn't okay.”

Sarah said that although program bosses objected because it was an over-18s platform and the show had a youth audience, they had known that when they gave the go-ahead previously.

She added, “Apparently one cast member complained. I would like to know (who), I have my suspicions.'

She believes the situation “blown up like that” because Hollyoaks had lost control of the images of her, but she didn't do anything other than the promotional shots she was contractually obliged to do.

Citing the “hypocrisy of the whole thing,” she said, “I think what irritated them was the fact that I took control of myself.

'I said, “This is what I'm doing, is that okay with you?”, “We're okay with that,” and then I did it and suddenly they weren't okay with that.

“For me, if I read it correctly, it's the fact that they have no control and can't make any money from it.”

When contacted by MailOnline, a spokesperson for Hollyoaks said: 'Duty of care to our cast and crew is of the utmost importance to us.

'We are not aware of any complaints from Sarah Jayne Dunn regarding the time she describes on the set of Hollyoaks. Hollyoaks adheres to strict protocols on set to safeguard and protect our team.”

The outspoken star also hit back at critics after she was criticized for posing up a storm in lingerie as 'a mum in her 40s'.

She took to her Instagram Story to post after sharing photos of herself in skimpy pink underwear.

The mother-of-one wrote: 'To the man (who followed me here) who just posted a cutting comment about being a mother in my 40s and therefore I shouldn't be parading my pants.

'Don't come to me today, I'm not in the mood. I'll parade in my pants as long as I want.

“Regardless of my age or parental status, and you can please stop, blocked.”
