'Hollyoaks' star would strip for movie

Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn has revealed that she would be willing to strip off for a film role.

The 27-year-old actress, who plays Mandy Richardson on the Channel 4 soap, confirmed that she would have to be satisfied that the nude scene was crucial to the plot before agreeing to bare all.

"I would go nude in a film as long as the part was right," Dunn told the Daily Star. "I wouldn't do it if they just threw in a nude shot just for the hell of it. It would have to be vital to the character and the story. But I'm not a prude about my body so it wouldn't bother me being filmed with no clothes on.

"It might be a bit weird for my dad watching the film later, though. I think I would probably ban him from seeing it!"

The star also rubbished suggestions that there is rivalry between Hollyoaks' female cast members as they strive to look good on the soap.

"There's no competition between us. After all we are all doing the same job for the same show," she explained. "To be honest it's not the other girls who make me feel under pressure to look good, it's everyone outside.

"I think most women feel they have to always look their best but I think it's important that you do things for yourself not for other people."
