We have some very distressing news about former Emmerdale star Sammy Winward.

The actress, who gained fame for her role as Katie Sugden on the ITV soap, has been

estranged from her daughter Mia for several months. The rift between them began after Mia, now 19, decided to create an account on the adult content platform OnlyFans, where she reportedly earns up to £30,000 a month by selling explicit photos and videos.

Sammy Winward, who left her role on Emmerdale in 2015 after a 14-year stint to pursue a career in teaching, has reportedly cut off contact with her daughter following the controversy. Mia shared that their last conversation was painful, with her mother expressing some harsh criticisms about her new career choice. Additionally, Mia mentioned that her father, former Blackburn footballer David Dunn, has also distanced himself from her since the news broke.

In 2021, Mia appeared alongside Sammy on the talk show Loose Women, expressing hopes of following in her mother’s acting footsteps. After leaving school, Mia initially worked as a makeup artist before transitioning to OnlyFans. She explained that her decision was inspired by friends who were making substantial incomes on the platform. Mia now makes around £30,000 a month, working only three days a week, which she feels is a significant improvement over her previous salary as a makeup artist.

Mia has spoken about the sense of empowerment she feels through her work on OnlyFans, noting that she enjoys the freedom and control over her career. Despite the financial benefits, she acknowledges that this line of work is not her long-term career plan. Mia remains hopeful that one day she will be able to mend her relationship with her family, despite their current disapproval.

Sammy Winward, who played the beloved Katie Sugden, was a fan favorite on Emmerdale. She joined the show in July 2001 at just 15 years old and remained a central character until her character’s tragic death. Katie Sugden’s demise, after falling through rotten floorboards due to an altercation with her ex-lover Robert Sugden, marked a dramatic end to her storyline. After leaving the soap, Sammy transitioned to teaching acting but made a brief return to the screen last year in the true crime series “The Long Shadow,” where she portrayed Sonia Sliff, the wife of a convicted killer.

This family drama adds a new layer of complexity to Sammy Winward’s story, and it’s sure to be a topic of discussion among fans. Stay tuned for more updates and make sure to subscribe for the latest news.
