However, four years on from her soap exit, Sarah is forging a new career as a pole dancing teacher.

Recently, Sarah has posted several pictures and videos of herself pole dancing in racy outfits on her social media.

Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn on being a pole dancing teacher

In a picture for her 245k followers to see, she uploaded a snap of herself in front of a sign that reads “pole gym”.

“Still buzzing from teaching my very first pole class, and what a way to start!” she captioned the post.

Continuing, she wrote: “A full class of 10 incredible women (plus two beautiful babies in tow), all bringing the most uplifting energy, cheering each other on, and showing up with open hearts and strong bodies.

“I loved every second of teaching. The hour flew by, and I already can’t wait to see these women grow in confidence, strength, and self-expression over the coming weeks,” she then continued.

“I’m doing this because I’ve found something I adore, pole has made me feel powerful, graceful, sexy, and grounded, and I want more women to feel that too. This is about movement, freedom, confidence, and community. Here’s to more of this,” she then added.

Sarah talks new career

Speaking to The Sun, Sarah gushed over her first lesson as a teacher.

“It was great and all the women were so lovely – I’m really excited for them all to go on their own little pole dancing journey. I can see myself doing more and more pole, because it’s unintentionally become my personality,” she said.

She then continued: “I get so much from it on a personal level but also finding space that, as a woman, I feel safe in. I feel supported, I feel I can be myself and not be judged – and how rare is it to find that space and sense of community? I feel very lucky,” she then added.
