I’m shamed for doing OnlyFans but my son has a lovely lifestyle I want to maintain – he should see his mum working hard
AXED Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn caused a stir when she first joined adult site OnlyFans in 2021.
After more than two decades on the Channel 4 series, Sarah left the acting gig behind when she was given an ultimatum by bosses – stop sharing racy snaps or leave.
The mum has always defended the controversial side hustle and slammed bosses for their “blatant hypocrisy” as she claimed her online content was no different from the lads’ magazine and calendar shoots she was asked to do while on the soap.
Now, speaking to TV and radio presenter Zoe Hardman and marketing whizz Georgia Dayton on their parenting podcast, Made By Mammas, Sarah has revealed why she’s still at it and has no plans to stop.
Sarah explained that her son, Stanley, started to realise his mum was well-known a few years ago, and even asked her if she’s famous.
“Little questions will come up,” Sarah said, as she explained that he doesn’t always get why people stop to ask for selfies in the street.
But since leaving the soap, explaining her work as an “accidental influencer” to her son has become more tricky.
Sarah said: “I’ve got this history of being on screen and being part of a big established show, but I think a lot about this, how do I explain to him what I do now?”
Despite it not being her choice to eventually leave her role in Hollyoaks, the mum confessed it was the best thing that could’ve happened to her.
“I had no choice but to make what happened successful for me because essentially I’m the breadwinner out of myself and my husband and I can’t not work,” she said.
Sarah, who played Mandy Richardson from 1996 to 2021, said she still enjoys working and wanted to set a good example for her son, as well as maintain the comfortable lifestyle the family has become accustomed to.
“We have a lovely lifestyle and I want to maintain that,” she said, “and I also want Stan to see that mum and dad work hard, and also that it’s not a chore, we do something we enjoy and that we choose to do.”
For the former actress, being seen as a “strong” woman by her son is important too.
“I think it’s so important in general, but in this time we’re living in I want him to understand that it’s ok for a woman to be the breadwinner, to be capable, to be independent,” she said.
Not only that, but Sarah said she hopes her son will grow up “to be the kind of man to call out other men who are being misogynistic.”
“I think we need more of that as women,” she said.
When it comes to her new career, Sarah said she has no plans to hold anything back from her son when he is old enough to understand it all.
As for her OnlyFans, it came at the perfect time as she felt “so worthless” on set at Hollyoaks after Covid.
“People I think have this image if you’re on TV, they think ‘well you must be successful and you must be loaded’ but they don’t know the ins and outs of the industry,” she explained.
It’s like I’ve found my purpose.”
So when push finally came to shove, Sarah put her foot down and left the show for good.
“[OnlyFans] has been the best thing I’ve ever done in terms of the freedom it’s given me,” she admitted.
And it’s not just the freedom to post whatever she likes online – Sarah said now she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her own opinion without getting it “vetted” by Hollyoaks bosses.
“It was like breathing out for the first time,” she said of not having to question herself or ask permission before speaking in interviews or posting online.
And the freedoms don’t end there, as her own boss Sarah now has complete control of her own schedule.
“It’s given my freedom in terms of time, money… there’s been so much to it,” she said.
But the best part of it all is being able to inspire and empower other women.
“It’s like I’ve found my purpose,” Sarah said.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
FACING ONLINE TROLLS
Previously, Sarah spoke to Fabulous as part of the YouTube series Shamed, which explores the effects of trolling on six famous women, where she admitted the reaction to her OnlyFans work has been mostly positive.
“One of the comments that came up the most was ‘she’s a mother.’ I think a lot of this plays into what we’ve been conditioned to feel about being a woman.
“I tick a few boxes now: I’m a woman, I’m a mother and I’m over 40. I cannot be sexy because I’m a mother and I’m over 40. How dare I?
“How dare I expose my body? How dare I do that and be okay with it? How dare my family accept that? How dare my husband be alright with it.
“It’s what we’ve been told that we can’t do. The fact I am standing up and doing it and I am enjoying it and I am successful with it, I think it just annoys people,” she said.
And despite some of the X-rated content on the site, Sarah insisted she would never venture into that sort of content.
Despite how happy she is with her choices now, Sarah admitted she does have one major regret.
“Trolls told me that I’ll regret it but I’m over two years down the line with OnlyFans now and I have zero regrets.
“Actually, that’s wrong, I do have one regret: I wish I’d started it sooner,” she said.
Britain’s Got Talent fans ‘figure out’ how magician Eden performed his mind-blowing card trick – did you spot it?
BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans are convinced they’ve sussed the secret to magician Eden Choi’s trick.
Over the weekend, the 24-year-old wowed the ITV panel of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli with his savvy card trick.
In a surprise opening, a curtain lifted to reveal South Korea-born Eden standing on stage.
He then held up a red apple, took a bite and appeared to move it downwards using his mind.
Smoke billowed from Eden’s mouth while a playing card suddenly appeared in his hands.
The magician produced a seemingly endless flow of cards from his hands as they fell around him.
After showcasing a trick with a series of balls Eden, dressed in a black shirt with matching trousers, then wrapped his jaw-dropping segment with another card trick.
Yet keen Britain’s Got Talent show fans are now adamant they have clocked the method behind cards seemingly appearing out of thin air.
One posted on X: “Just watched the great magician but you can see him getting the cards out of his jacket.
“Don’t know why they raved so much.”
Another mused: “Every time magicians like this come on people go ‘actually i saw a string’ ’they had the cards up their sleeves.’
“Yeah because it’s not actual magic.. because that’s not real.”
Yet many were full of praise for Eden – and demanded he go on to win the entire series.
One fan posted: “Best thing ever. Where did the cards come from? A Vegas act but too good for this show.”
Another mused: “The magician Eden was brilliant. Wow.”
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
One then demanded: “Get #EdenChoi on his own show.”
FAN BACKLASH
Others reacted in fury when Eden missed out on a Golden Buzzer – a free pass to the next round, with some calling out a “fix.”
Instead children’s support worker Linda Mudzenda impressed Alesha Dixon with her audition and secured a spot in the live shows.
The 21-year-old wowed with her smooth rendition of Lauren Daigle’s You Say.
Judge KSI said: “That was so touching, man, seeing how beautifully you sang. I could feel the nerves as you came to the mic and then you blessed this whole room with your voice.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
Kyle Walker gives brutal seven-word warning to Chelsea flop Joao Felix during AC Milan loss
KYLE WALKER fired a brutal warning at Chelsea flop Joao Felix during AC Milan’s most recent loss.
The defender joined the Italian giants on loan from Manchester City in January.
But despite a promising start results have tailed off and Walker appears to have let his frustrations get the better of him.
At half-time with Milan trailing Napoli 2-0, he had a few choice words to aim at Felix.
As the pair headed towards the dressing room Walker called out to the Chelsea loanee to make him stop.
Walker then appeared to say: “Pass the ball, we are not Messi.”
Milan pulled one back through Luka Jovic in the 84th minute but it proved to be too little too late.
They are struggling in ninth place in Serie A, nine points off a Champions League qualifying spot.
Walker, 34, was unbeaten in his first four Milan matches although was subbed off at half-time against Hellas Verona.
He then picked up a hamstring injury with Milan losing both the matches they played in his absence.
BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS
That trend continued against Lazio as Walker made his return from the bench, but wins against Lecce and Como followed.
Off the pitch the right-back recently signed a deal to model Hugo Boss underwear.
Supermarket chain slashes price of Easter Sunday dinner essentials to 15p kicking off price war
A major supermarket has massively reduced the price of Easter essentials including carrots, potatoes and swede in the run up to the bank holiday.
Budget supermarkets often reduce the price of vegetables around Christmas or Easter to entice shoppers.
This year Lidl has ignited the price war, with prices starting from just 15p.
The deal will include:
- Carrots (1kg) – 15p
- White Potatoes (2 kg) – 15p
- Green Beans (220g) – 15p
- Swede (per item) – 15p
- Parsnips (500g) – 15p
- Spring Onions (per bunch) – 15p
Shoppers can get their hands on the vegetables in stores nationwide from April 15.
This means you do not need to worry about your vegetables going off before the big day.
Richard Bourns, Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “We believe that everyone should have access to fresh, high-quality food and Easter is no exception.
“Easter can be an expensive time for many families up and down the country, and Lidl customers can rest assured that we will always offer unbeatable value.”
As we get closer to Easter Sunday further offers may be announced.
For example, last Christmas a price war erupted between the supermarket giants, with the majority offering vegetables from 15p.
The deals come as grocery price inflation edged up, putting the rising cost of food just behind energy bills on the list of consumer concerns.
Supermarket prices are now 3.5% higher than a year ago, up from 3.3% in February, according to analysts Kantar.
The supermarkets’ battle to compete for consumers will be welcome news for households who are worried about their finances.
Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar, said: “While the number of people reported as financially struggling has fallen from its recent peak, this still accounts for almost a quarter (22%) of the country.
“The rising cost of groceries ranks third on the list of concerns keeping consumers awake at night, just behind energy bills and the country’s overall economic outlook.”
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go’s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they’ve found on the cheap, including food finds.
“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket’s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
You should always shop around to make sure you are getting the best price.
Use price comparison websites such as Trolley.co.uk to ensure you are getting the best deal.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on deal-finding sites such as HotUKDeals.

Authenticity will lead you to your niche in this life
Love & Relationships – Queen of Swords
You’re known as a ‘couply’ sign in that you like to be loved up and cosy in a nest.
However, you need breathing space and solitude too, mostly to reflect and unwind and process your overworked mind. Make sure you get it this April.
If it means changing a pattern / routine, or putting your demand out there, then so be it. Don’t pretend to be into stuff that you’re not.
Don’t think you always have to be in company or together… you don’t.

Pretence is a theme this April, actually, as here comes Judgment, urging you to be your whole, authentic self, and recognise the unique skills, experience and alchemy that only you bring to the table.

Love & Relationships – Five of Wands
Don’t respond to pettiness or drama. Side-step the messiness and step back to see the bigger picture.
People act up when they’re riled or unhappy. What is triggering this scene? What has gotten under their skin? What do they wish were different?
Work that out and you’ve worked this WHOLE THING out, and then you can propose the right resolution. Be a hero. Let your cleverness solve the issue.
Work & Purpose – Four of Wands

Serendipity, luck, and coincidence will all play a big, positive role in making and building new relationships this April- especially with sexy and lively Fire signs (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius).
Don’t make too many plans or go ‘looking’ for new faces. They will come to you in weird and unexpected ways!
So remain on alert, welcoming, and ready to meet people in crazy situations!
Work & Purpose – Strength
Take on a challenge. Confidence follows action. Growth comes from pushing outside a comfort zone and building new strength.
It’s time to push, to develop, to set yourself a fresh target. You can be complacent at times and it does you no favours.

Leo
Trust your instincts and do as they tell you
Love & Relationships – Seven of Swords
Be cautious about who you let into your inner circle or what you expose about yourself to interested parties.
Some folk are jealous of you. Some folk are unhappy in their own skin and like to undermine others.
Notice your instincts around people, notice when you feel unsure or self protective, and heed those feelings.
A side effect of being so glamourous, gorgeous and charming is that you need to watch your boundaries.
Work & Purpose – King of Cups
Focus on the wonderful collaborations, alliances, mentorships and even friendships you’ve created in your work, or wider community.
Even in a job, it’s the people that make or break the day. You are a naturally charismatic person and this is your greatest strength in work.
Build strong bridges with others, leaning on each other’s skill and experience to create second-to-none outputs.
Omen to look out for – The High Priestess
Look for the number 2 or 222, or repeats of it.
Look for witches, female mystics, broomsticks, crystal balls and paraphernalia of the occult.

If you notice one of these omens then you’re being asked to stop, reflect, and draw out your inner feelings and intuitions. Your inner voice has important intel to share.
Virgo
Reflections, promotions, and resistance to temptations
Love & Relationships – King of Wands
Take your loved one/s on an adventure! In family or friendship or romance, get out and about with those you love and like and have fun, explore, do new things, travel, see different venues and places.
Make magical memories. If you’re single and hopeful then an older Fire sign (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) might be sweeping you off your feet and thrilling you this April.
Work & Purpose – Ace of Coins
A new era is dawning. This isn’t an overnight change, it’s something that will take up to 1 year to completely come to fruition but it starts right HERE.

It’s something new and it will bring success and riches. So invest, Virgo, and get going. This is a project worth sustaining.
Omen to look out for – Two of Cups
Look for the number 2 or 222, or repeats of it.
Look for symbols associated with love and romance (hearts, flowers etc).

Libra
Positive relationships make everything work better
Love & Relationships – Page of Cups
A younger Water sign (Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces) could be on the cards for you this April, someone who is very idealistic, creative, and kind.
If you’re attached and looking to start or grow a family, then this is a good month. If you’re attached and hoping for change in your relationship then connect to you and your partner’s inner children.
Look back to your parents and past for clues as to why things are as they are now.
Work & Purpose – Knight of Cups
Networking and talking to the right people at the right time in the right way will get you further, faster than any amount of thinking, researching, head-scratching or grafting. It’s WHO you know, right?
Here’s a tip, work out your ‘elevator pitches’, a one-sentence pitch, question, plea, or idea that you’d love ‘them’ to pay attention to.
Have these quips ready… you WILL get a chance to use them.
Omen to look out for – The World
Look for the number 2 or 1 or 21, or repeats of both.
Look for globes, maps, solar system diagrams, earth dissections or infographics.
Look out for situations in your realm which has lost a lot of energy and feel like they’re ‘fading’, pay attention to this because you’re being asked to navigate away from them and towards new, open space where fresh opportunities are ready and waiting. It’s time to release.
Scorpio
You’re ready for new space, territory and opportunities across the board
Love & Relationships – The Fool
Something, or someone, new and exciting is coming your way! In love or friendship, it could be a wacky Aquarius character, a mad inventor type.
They are eccentric and stimulating and you can get up to all kinds of shenanigans together.
That aside, turn the page in your relationship realm. Put things behind you, let the past stay where it is, and stop digging up old bones. New month, new outlook.
Work & Purpose – Four of Cups
Don’t overlook the perks, advantages, and potential of where you’re already at.
We all lose sight of our current privileges, things get stale, we notice what others have that we do not. But refocus.
You are missing a golden opportunity that is literally sat right under your nose!
Zoom in and spot it, then leap on it and make it happen for yourself.
Omen to look out for – Nine of Cups
Look for the number 9, 99 or combinations of it.
Look out balloons, butterflies, pastel colourways, and stories about dreams coming true.
If you notice one of these omens then you’re being invited to make a wish!
Manifest a heart’s desire, grab something you’ve long wanted, pursue a passion. Dreams DO come true. For you too.
Sagittarius
Ask for clarity and then make your decisions
Love & Relationships – Eight of Swords
It’s not them… it’s YOU (don’t hate me for saying it). Stop projecting onto other folk, assuming what they think or why they’re doing what they’re doing.
Stop overthinking other people’s actions (you don’t know, and never will, all the reasons). Focus on yourself.
Change what you don’t enjoy, speak up about things that have hurt you, ask for clarity if it’s not clear. Focus on what you CAN control.
Work & Purpose – The Moon
Things feel a little mysterious or clouded right now. You know there are things changing or shifting beneath the surface, but you don’t have a handle on exactly what or why.
Focus on seeking clarity, getting answers, and revealing what has been going on behind closed doors this month.
And then you can make good decisions because you know the reality of the situation. Don’t do anything till you’ve got that insight.
Omen to look out for – Ace of Wands
Look for the number 1, 11 or combinations of it.
Look out for strangely placed or decorated sticks, branches, poles, wands, or canes.
Look out for appealing events, classes, trips, social invitations, or lifestyle activities that spark your interest.
If you notice one of these omens then you’re being shown a new opportunity that is tailor-made for you right now by the helpful Universe. Jump right in!
Capricorn
Be authentic and honest and the world will shift and shimmy to meet your needs
Love & Relationships – Ten of Coins
You’re never been about the game playing or casual flings, you always build rock solid and lasting connections (otherwise why bother, right?).
The Ten of Coins brings loyalty, love, and stability to the relationships you care about. It’s time to commit.
If you’re single, then a happy-ever-after bond with a fellow Earth sign (Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn) could be on the cards.
Work & Purpose – Ace of Swords
Be honest, totally honest, about what you think, want, don’t like, believe should happen, are willing to do (and not do).
Be authentic and straight. Be direct. We all talk a weird, formal language in work, or in professional situations, that tends to cloud what we really mean.
Put that aside and just speak from your heart. The results and response you receive will be amazing. People yearn for authenticity.
Omen to look out for – The Emperor
Look for the number 4 or 44, or repeats of it.
Look for symbols of empire, royalty, upper echelons of authority i.e. crowns, sceptres, robes, presidential offices, flags or national symbols.
Look out for areas of life you feel done to, overwhelmed, brow beaten or diminished by someone else in power.
If you notice one of these omens then you’re being given a chance to reset that boundary or dynamic.
By being different yourself, you will force through a shift, they will have to be different too. Take back your power.
Aquarius
Making a difference and making decisions
Love & Relationships – Nine of Coins
Changes in relationships CAN happen overnight but, more often, it’s like a slow lava flow. A steady, almost invisible by day, shift of habit and dynamic.
The greatest driver of these shifts is consistency. So look at how you are, day to day, over time, in your relationships?
What are you bringing to the table? What could you change consistently that would make a difference over time? Small tweaks repeated daily count a great deal.
Work & Purpose – Two of Swords
A very important decision looms ahead. You have been mulling over this for a while and April brings a crunch point, it’s time to take action and pick an option.
Don’t worry about getting it ‘wrong’, there is no wrong.
The worst thing that could happen is that you gain some experience and wisdom and then make another choice. So don’t overthink it.
Discuss your options, sleep on your decision, and execute it.
Omen to look out for – Queen of Cups
Look out for Water sign women (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) who are nurturing, kind and helpful.
Look for classes, activities, events, podcasts, books or music that promote self care, healing, self help. Look out for areas in your life that you feel wounded or bruised, frustrated or sad.
If you notice one of these omens then you are being asked to invest in seeking a healing practice or ritual that will help you to process your feelings, make sense of them, and release them. Healing time.
Pisces
Good friends, a happy reunion, and a shared moment of vulnerability
Love & Relationships – Six of Coins
Friendships will make your world go around this April so invest in your inner circle and wider acquaintances.
Friendships are so important, they are our gateway to exploring the world, travelling, socialising, finding out how other folk handle life.
Make time to do lovely things with your besties, and be welcoming to new faces. You’re a popular person.
Work & Purpose – Six of Cups
Look out for a rekindling, reunion, old colleague/boss, old role or workplace… something from the past that you felt great affection for will re-emerge this month and surprise you!
Maybe you miss something and wish you’d never had to leave. Maybe you could return.
Maybe someone you adored working with will show up or reconnect. Go down Memory Lane and bring something back.
Omen to look out for – Nine of Swords
Look for the number 9 or 99, or repeats of both.
Look for stories or motifs around therapy, counselling, self help, or psychology.
Look out for people clamming up, starting a sentence and shutting it down, staying silent when you’d expect them to respond.
If you notice one of these omens then you’re being asked to share something vulnerable or unsaid about yourself and perhaps that will unlock a game-changing dialogue with someone who also needs to vent or share.
Watch emotional moment Christine McGuinness reveals heartbreaking reason she only has ONE friend
CHRISTINE McGuinness has candidly revealed she only has one friend – and the huge reason why.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 37, is often spotted out and about with Blue singer Duncan James, 46 – and now she has confessed the All Rise hitmaker is her sole pal.
In a new podcast the former model and mum-of three Christine frankly opened up on the desire to maintain a private life both during and in the aftermath of her split from comedian Paddy McGuinness in 2022.
She said: “Now I have no friends other than Duncan.
“People set up an OnlyFans, I’m going to set up an OnlyFriends.”
Podcast host Shizzo then probed: “So you have no friends?”
Christine, who has starred on Celebrity Hunted and has now bagged a spot on Celebs Go Dating, said: “It’s by choice – so I’ve got lots of industry friends.
“So that works for me, because I haven’t got the time.
“I try to keep in touch but I can’t so I feel like a s**t friend.
“So with industry friends you work together, you’re in your bubble, you all know each other.
“There’s no pressure to keep in touch and for me that’s much more suitable and realistic to keep up with.”
Later in the chat on The Shizzo Show she insisted her arrangement is “by choice.”
She added: “I’m very private, I don’t have a lot of time.
“I’m just choosing to do me in my own time.”
Christine then told how she would prefer to work than go out for lunch or a swanky dinner.
She insisted: “I’m not a social butterfly for the sake of it.
“Unfortunately, I’ve been burned a couple of times in business in friendships and relationships, and I am very protective of myself.”
The ITVBe alum insisted she is “much happier that I don’t want or need anyone.”
GREAT MATES
Christine’s confession came just weeks after Fly By singer Duncan was on hand to help her during a wardrobe malfunction while she was wearing a neon yellow dress.
Christine also recently credited Duncan for helping with her anxiety battle.
She told how he is a key source of strength, helping her overcome fears and embrace new opportunities.
Christine said, “A lot of people suffer from anxiety. It’s awful.
“I genuinely struggle with it when I walk down red carpets. But knowing Duncan has experienced it too really helps. I think, ‘Thank God it’s not just me.’ We’ve talked about things, and that really helps.”
Duncan added, “Talking to Christine has helped me learn a lot about myself. She’s brilliant.”
