Emmerdale star Sammy Winward's daughter Mia Dunn takes a swipe at her estranged parents over getting a 'real job' after OnlyFans fallout

Daily Mail​29-04-2025

Sammy Winward's daughter Mia Dunn took aim at her estranged parents in a new racy post as she joked about getting a 'real job' amid their OnlyFans fallout.
Mia is the lookalike daughter of ex-Emmerdale actress, Sammy Winward, and former Blackburn Rovers footballer, David Dunn.
It was previously reported that Sammy was no longer on speaking terms with Mia and they had been estranged for four months after the teen, 19, joined the X-rated site.
The family fallout also apparently included her father and other relatives, with Mia prevously insisting her mother was 'jealous' of her success online.
One of Mia's recent posts appeared to be a dig at her mother, as she shared a snap in an unbuttoned shirt and short skirt with stockings.
Mia said she now had a 'real job' with a tongue face emoji, as she seemingly poked fun at her decision to make money from the subscription-based site.
In another reference to her racy career, Mia also posted a cheeky clip of her walking along wearing a white co-ord before lifting her skirt to reveal her knickers.
She said: 'Now why would a girl have a 9-5 when she can do silly things like this and get paid £100,000 a month.'
Mia recently revealed she has made a fortune of $420,000 (£322,725) since she joined the adult content creator site.
She wrote on Instagram: '$420k since, on the hub, on the blue and white site and travelling the world'
Captioned her post, she wrote: '1 month and it'll be a whole year with you guys so unbelievably grateful for everyone who supported me watch out for a surprise on [OnlyFans] keep an eye out x #life #travel #successful #blonde'
Mia recently claimed her feud with her family over her OnlyFans career has reached a new low.
Adult model Mia made an impressive £10,000 in January alone from her racy photos.
In an interview Mia has claimed that her dad, former Blackburn player David, called her a 'w***e' and slammed the phone down on her.
'I tried to reconnect with my dad and he called me a w***e on the phone,' Mia told The Sun.
'I'm completely fully cut off and they want any sort of contact, which is really big shame because I thought I'd be the bigger person in the whole situation,' she said of the feud with both her parents, who split when she was a child.
'I think it's crazy to have such anger towards me when I am in fact at the end of the day their daughter.
'I do totally get the fact that they don't love what I do, but at the same time, I am, I'm a human being and especially - I am the human being that came out of my mother.'
Mia also claimed that her mum is envious of her hugely successful career.
Over the festive period, Sammy refused her daughter's olive branch as she continues to disapprove of her daughter selling X-rated images and videos online, according to The Sun.
Mia, who goes by the name of Mia Kate Rose, told the publication: 'I think the main thing with my mum is that she was really young – 18 – when she had me.
'I think she's got some animosity towards me. I think she is maybe just jealous about me doing so well and so quickly.
'I think that's what my parents' issue is really. They think I've done it off their backs, but actually, behind the scenes, it takes a lot more work than just being their daughter.'
It comes after Mia revealed that Sammy hasn't tried to get in touch with her and that other relatives have called and texted her with abusive messages when she tried to contact them.
She said back in August: 'My mum has me blocked on everything. So yeah, she didn't contact me whatsoever. A few other family members have contacted me but I made the decision to let them cool off slightly because the messages they were sending weren't lovely.'
The mother and daughter were thought to have been close, previously describing their relationship as being like 'best mates', but Mia admitted that was untrue and in fact they sometimes 'butted heads' due to their similarities.
While she refused to speak negatively of her family, she confessed that she felt their reaction was extreme, insisting she would never do the same to her future children.
She said: 'I've honestly not got anything bad to say about any of them per se, but the way they've reacted to the situation personally, it just wouldn't even cross my mind to do that to my own child, I think.'
While she remains hopeful that she and Sammy can patch things up, Mia explained that she would be taking a step back until everyone had cooled off and said it would be down to her family to be the ones to reach out to make amends.
She said: 'I feel like at this point it is going to have to be them coming to me because I've tried to maintain contact in the past and they just don't have any of it and then I end up getting like, all the abuse like through the phone, through text messages, calls.

British TV star looks unrecognisable after giving up acting career to become an OnlyFans creator

A British TV star now looks unrecognisable after giving up her acting career to become an OnlyFans creator. Megan Prescott, 34, is best known for playing Katie Fitch, one of the main characters in E4 teen drama Skins, which ran from 2007 to 2013 and won two BAFTAs. She starred in series three and four alongside her own identical twin Kathryn Prescott, who played her character's twin sister Emily Fitch. After brief turns on Holby City and Silent Witness, she began bodybuilding in 2016, appearing on Channel 4 makeover show Body Fixers to get competition-ready. Now, along with a chatty podcast called Really Good Exposure, Megan has an OnlyFans page, started in the pandemic to supplement her income. And in an interview posted to TikTok with an influencer and fellow OnlyFans creator named Bella Mia, the star looks completely unrecognisable. The signature dark, reddish hair she sported while playing Katie on Skins is now gone, replaced by long blonde locks. And with her new career in bodybuilding, having competed in the United Kingdom Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (UKBFF) Bikini Fitness final in 2016, she is in great shape. Wearing a sporty, khaki green, lycra one-piece, Megan spoke out about her new OnlyFans endeavours, her time on Skins and what life is like for her now. Bella asked: 'Do you feel more exploited now or back by the producers, back when you were on TV?' The star revealed: 'Ironically, I actually get spoken to far nicer on OnlyFans than I have in a lot of my acting career and definitely on social media.' OnlyFans allows creators to publish risque pictures and videos, which only paying subscribers can see. The interview also quipped, 'Are you healing or are you just monetising a breakdown?', to which Megan replied, laughing: 'Does it matter?' The star made her acting debut, along with twin Kathryn, on BBC soap opera Doctors in 2008. But it was Skins - the seven series show about the hedonistic lives of Bristol sixth formers, which she joined later that year - which marked her real breakthrough. The actress said: 'I stand by some of Katie's decisions, not most of them. I 100 per cent believe she would have had an Only Fans, if she was a real person, by now. 'I think she would have done content with JJ [character on Skins, played by Ollie Barbieri]. 'I think she would have had him under her thumb and she would have been like, "Look, this is a good business decision". He was smart, he would do it.' Bella also asked, to simply an awkward laugh from Megan: 'Was Skins just a TV show or was it just a really long-form social experiment to see how much [E4] could push child exploitation laws?' She also questioned what life is like for the star now: 'On a scale of one to full breakdown in the smoking area, how hard is it handling fame in your thirties?' Megan replied: 'I mean, it's nice when Gen Z came up to me and recognise me from Skins. A 15-year-old did the other day and I felt relevant. 'But to be honest, I don't get really anyone coming up to me in the UK. In America, more so.' Skins was known for depicting notoriously heavy subject matter, such as mental illness, eating disorders and substance abuse - which both women commented on. Bella asked: 'How do you feel having the weight of an entire generation's teenage trauma on your shoulders, just from your role?' Megan responded: 'I mean, it's great, sorry guys.' The interviewer also joked: 'At what point did you realise that Skins was just preparation for dating emotionally stunted men in your twenties?' The actress laughed back: 'During, probably!' In reference to the star's varied career trajectory, Bella commented: 'Your character arc is way better than any Netflix movie that there is.' Megan spoke to The Sun in 2022 about her use of OnlyFans: 'If it wasn't for OnlyFans, I wouldn't have been able to survive the last two years without working seven days a week in menial jobs.' She started the page in April 2020, after a delay in getting furloughed: 'I had zero money and was told by a friend who has worked as a stripper for years that people were guaranteed to subscribe because they had watched me in Skins. Megan spoke out in 2022 about her use of OnlyFans: 'If it wasn't for OnlyFans, I wouldn't have been able to survive the last two years without working seven days a week in menial jobs.' 'I thought I may as well try and it went very well. I only do what I'm comfortable with and log on when I want to because it takes a lot out of you.' Before starting the page, she had participated in three bodybuilding competitions and attended an international championship. She had also tried out various odd jobs, from being security guard, to a nanny, to a children's entertainer - before working as a dancer at a strip club. She explained: 'I'm in a much more privileged position than some others in the sex industry but for me, it takes away the stress of paying bills and allows me to have the energy to be creative.' Megan spoke of the stigma surrounding sex work, disproportionately affecting women: 'It's potentially career-ruining for a woman, despite people loving Channing Tatum when he performed in a neon G-string in real life.' The actress just finished two runs of a one-woman show - called Really Good Exposure, like her podcast - at London's Soho Theatre and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with another to return to the former venue in September. The synopsis reads: 'Molly was a child star, now she's considering getting into porn. 'What would you do if your acting career peaked in 2009 (well before the MeToo movement) and you hadn't booked another role in years? 'Exposed for working as a stripper, dumped by her agent and shunned by the public, Molly's giving mainstream success one last shot. 'Enter a world of child stars, strip clubs and casting couches – and question what it means to earn a living as a performer.' Megan has also been diagnosed with autism and ADHD in recent years, taking to Instagram in 2023 to get candid about her experience. She admitted pretending to be neurotypical made her 'exhausted, anxious and depressed', as she called for more conversations about women with autism. The actress also confessed at the time, she still had not told some family members about having autism, for fear their response would be 'pretty upsetting.' Megan insisted autism 'isn't a superpower' but could be a 'gift' if the world were more accessible to neurodiverse individuals. She wrote: 'In December 2021, I was diagnosed as autistic. 'Since then I've been slowly getting comfortable with explaining this to people I know but I've been nervous to say anything on here about it because of how badly misunderstood autism in women is by most people... She admitted pretending to be neurotypical made her 'exhausted, anxious and depressed', as she called for more conversations about women with autism 'When I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, telling people didn't feel as nervewracking as telling everyone I'm autistic feels. 'And I think because despite ADHD in women still being misunderstood, there is at least starting to be a decent amount of resources available for people to learn more about it. The same can't be said for autism in women.' 'When I've told people I am autistic, the response I've got most often is something along the lines of, "Well, everyone's on the spectrum a bit", which, although it might be well-intentioned, is a pretty s*** response to someone telling you they're autistic. 'Firstly, that response sounds like you're trying to console the autistic person by saying, "Don't feel bad, we're all a bit like that", which implies that not only is autism a bad thing, but it also completely invalidates the struggles that that autistic person may have experienced throughout their life.' Megan explained how some people downplay her diagnosis as if it's 'not a big deal because it's something everyone experiences and you're just not as good at dealing with it'. It comes after news in recent years that many members of the young cast of Skins felt 'unprotected 'during 'compromising' sex scenes and a lack of safeguarding. Skins captivated its audience with gritty and realistic storylines. Moving away from glossy American teen dramas, the E4 series shone a spotlight on the antics of adolescents as they experimented with drugs, sex and partying. It was hailed for its approach to real life issues, as its characters dealt with wide-ranging problems from mental health struggles to addiction. The programme was dubbed the first of its kind, casting real teenagers to play college students of the same age to achieve an edgy and raw result. Viewers watched as carnage ensued in each episode, where drug-fuelled house parties and raves were the norm, as were the crashing come downs the next day. But since the show aired, many of its cast members have admitted they were living the same life off-screen, with little support. The show garnered controversy for its glamorous portrayal of sex and drugs, especially with regard to its young actors, who later said they felt 'unprotected'. Kaya Scodelario, who played Effy Stonem, for instance, has previously shared her thoughts on the matter. Speaking on the Dish podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Harnett last year, Kaya said: 'Back then, there wasn't the same amount of safeguarding with young actors, there wasn't anyone checking if we were okay.' It follows a long line of claims from her Skins alumni, including April Pearson, Jack O'Connell, Laya Lewis and Nicholas Hoult.

Kieran Trippier 'growing close to adult star' after collapse of his marriage

Footballer Kieran Trippier was spotted out with a mystery woman in recent weeks following months of reports his marriage was on the rocks - and now she has been identified as an OnlyFans star Kieran Trippier enjoyed a night out with an OnlyFans star before announcing his split from his wife, a report has claimed. The 34-year-old footballer, who plays for Premier League club Newcastle United as a right-back, has been married for nine years. He married partner Charlotte in Cyprus in 2016 and they went on to welcome a son named, Jacob, and two daughters, named Esme and Isla. For months, reports have raged that the couple have been in troubled waters - with headlines last year suggesting they had holidayed separately amid concerns for their marriage. ‌ Last September, there were concerns the marriage was over when Kieran was seen without his wedding ring. And two weeks ago, it was reported he had been spotted out with a mystery woman. ‌ Now the mystery has seemingly been solved, as the blonde woman he was spotted out and about with in Newcastle has been unmasked as an OnlyFans content creator named Sienna Day. A source told The Sun:"After leaving the Wafi Lounge, Kieran was in another club with Sienna and they appeared close. She is well known on the scene in Newcastle and was with him in the club for just over an hour. 'They left not long before 3am. Kieran looked very taken with Sienna.' The Mirror has approached representatives of Kieran for comment. Last week it was reported that Kieran and Charlotte had been separated for a year and are now planning to get a divorce. It was reported that the couple were keen to carry on with their lives while planning to make their divorce "as amicable as possible." Earlier this month, it was reported that Kieran had been spotted out in Newcastle partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry. The England international, who has 54 caps, shared with his followers that he's moving forward after parting ways with his wife. ‌ Charlotte subsequently broke her silence on the reports of the end of their marriage, telling fans she is "fine" but not ready to talk. Taking to Instagram last week in view of her 34,300 followers, she said she had been inundated with messages of support from women and also men who had been sending their well wishes. "I just wanted to let everyone know that I am fine," she said. Charlotte added: "Obviously, I am not ready to talk about my situation. ‌ "In time I will, when I am comfortable and the time is right, also I have three young children, haven't I, so I don't want to be putting things out there for them to see. But yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know it's not that bad, and you can get through it once you make the decision. "Like, you can get through it, the sparkle does come back, I feel like I am getting my glow back again, and yeah, like, you'll get there. So, anyone that needs any motivational speech or just some general chit chat, I'm all about mental health and stuff like that, I'm letting you know you will absolutely get through, any sort of break up or anything similar to what I'm going through." Charlotte's post which has been liked over 2,800 times was soon flooded with messages of support. Former The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow penned: "Keep sparkling beautiful." One Newcastle United fan penned: "I live in the North East and I'm a huge Newcastle fan, I love Trippier on the pitch and all he's done for the team, and if I'm being honest, I didn't want to believe what I was reading on social media about him. However, I wanted to say I've followed you for a while now and what a lovely, genuine person you seem to be. Always so happy and classy. You're so pretty, he's lost a good one there!" Charlotte replied to the fan: "Thanks so much! Tripps defo does great on the pitch and so happy for you Geordies that you are doing so well! Much love to the Geordies."

'Scary' David Beckham incident that left Martin Brundle shaken up at F1 race

Martin Brundle has interviewed a host of celebrities during his time on the F1 grid, but there have been few incidents that have left him feeling as shaken as when he tried to talk to David Beckham Martin Brundle has opened up about a "scary" encounter he had when he tried to interview David Beckham during one of his famous F1 grid walks. The Sky Sports commentator has been a part of the motorsport world for over four decades. As both a driver and broadcaster, Brundle is a respected figure in the sport. However, the current generation of F1 fans may best know him for his pre-race grid walks, where he chats with celebrities and other stars on the grid. ‌ Over the years, Brundle has had engaging conversations with some of the biggest names in showbiz and sport on the grid. However, not all have been keen to chat with the 66-year-old, leading to some less-than-stellar interviews. ‌ One such instance involved Manchester United legend Beckham, whom Brundle bumped into at the Miami Grand Prix in 2022. The ex-England skipper, who is now the co-owner of MLS team Inter Miami, was attending his local Grand Prix. After spotting him, Brundle made a beeline to grab a quick word with the football superstar. Although he managed to briefly discuss F1's presence in Florida, Brundle later admitted that he was not sure why he bothered. However, it appears he was more determined to speak to the former free-kick specialist, having failed to get a word with him at the Qatar GP that year. At the time, Beckham had accepted a multi-million-pound deal to be a paid ambassador for the Qatar World Cup. Beckham was on the grid at the same time as Brundle, but he was far from alone. The Sky Sports reporter told SPORTbible:"I was in Qatar trying to speak to David Beckham and there were two guys man-marking me. "Wherever I went, they were just looking at me! They did not want me to talk to David Beckham on that grid; the World Cup was coming up, wasn't it? That was a little bit scary. ‌ "They were literally on the grid to stop me. So, I went round the back of [Lewis] Hamilton's car, and they went round the front and kind of just looked at me. That was a little bit odd." In a subsequent interview with GQ Magazine, Brundle was notably critical about his brief interaction with Beckham. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the grid walk and numerous celebrity guests, he maintained that it is still his domain. Brundle said: "I was pretty determined to speak to him. And then when I did, I thought, 'I don't know why I bothered', basically. "I didn't feel good about it, particularly. I don't like bothering people. If they don't want to talk to you, they don't want to talk to you. There are plenty of people who do. "You've got to remember I've been on a F1 grid for 38 years, well over half the life of Formula 1. I've been to well over half of the grands prix in the history of Formula 1, so I feel pretty comfortable in that space – I feel it's my territory."
