Former Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn will be seen in new Batman movie The Dark Knight.

The part played by the actress has not yet been confirmed, but rumours suggest that she will star as The Joker's lover Harley Quinn.

Sarah appeared as Chester's Mandy Richardson on the Channel 4 soap for ten years. After leaving the show, she landed a role in crime movie The Best Years and had a two-week guest part in BBC One's Doctors.
