Emmerdale’s Sammy Winward ‘hasn’t spoken to daughter in months’ as teen sells racy pics online

Emmerdale actress Sammy Winward has ‘not spoken to her daughter in months’ after the teenager set up an OnlyFans account.

Mia, 19, says her mum cut her off after they rowed about her decision to sell racy pictures and videos on the adult pay per view site. Mia says she’s earning up to £30,000 a month.

Sammy is best known for playing Katie Sugden in the ITV soap. She quit in 2015 after a long 14 year stretch to become a teacher.

Speaking about the fallout, Mia said: “[My mum] said some pretty mean things when we did last speak. It was awful.

“But I absolutely love my mum and I love all of my family but none of them speak to me now,” she told The Sun.

Mia says her dad – former Blackburn footballer David Dunn has also distanced himself from her.

The teen appeared alongside her mum on Loose Women in 2021 and said at the time she was hoping to follow in her mum’s acting footsteps. After leaving school she went on to work as a make-up artist before opening up an OnlyFans account.

Mia said she was inspired after speaking to friends who were making serious money on the site. Mia says she’s now earning ten times her make-up artist salary.

“I make around £30,000 a month from my account and only work three days a week. I film content, upload it and then spend my time doing paper work,” she revealed.

Mia says the money isn’t the only benefit of using the adult site. “I feel so empowered on OnlyFans. I am my own boss and I’m confident in myself and what I’m doing.”

Speaking about her family’s rejection of her career path, Mia said: “I think they’re just being protective of me.” She added “I will always love and appreciated them. Ihope that one day we can rebuild our relationship and move on.”

Mia said she doesn’t expect OnlyFans to be a long term career plan but enjoys that she has the freedom to enjoy her life without being stuck in a ‘nine to five’ routine.

Her mum Sammy was a favourite among Emmerdale fans. She played stable manager Katie in Emmerdale since July 2001 – when she joined the soap aged 15 years old. Her character was killed when Katie died after falling through rotten floorboards after being pushed to the ground by ex-lover Robert Sugden.

Sammy then quit acting to become an acting teacher.

However, last year she made a small screen comeback to play Sonia Sutcliffe – wife of killer Peter Sutcliffe – in the acclaimed true crime series The Long Shadow.
