Alongside the snaps, Sarah-Jayne penned: ‘I haven’t posted anything as revealing as this in forever but….. you know.
‘I’m 47 and I’ve had two kids by c section and I’m not rich enough for surgery or matching underwear…..
‘So I think it shows just how sweets, laughter and dancing can keep you fit #happiness #thelittlethingsinlife [sic]’.
Axed: Sarah-Jayne was famously sacked from CBeebies in 2011 after taking part in a topless photoshoot for PETA to oppose eating meat
Sarah-Jayne shot to fame in 2002 on shows such as Higgledy House and Mighty Mites, alongside her sidekick Justin Fletcher, 50, however her career went down in flames when she posed for raunchy photos in 2011.
After posing topless on a huge plate of food in London’s Trafalgar Square in a PETA campaign to oppose eating meat, she was met with rage from bosses and was dropped from the channel.
Sarah-Jane admitted she only agreed to do the shoot for a ‘bit of fun’ and wasn’t paid for her involvement, but still faced backlash from BBC bosses.
The star also posed for a shoot in a skimpy vest pouring Diet Coke all over her breasts, and when the images came to light she learned she’d been sacked.

The little things in life: Sarah-Jayne was feeling proud of her figure after welcoming two children and not having any surgery
She told The Sun: ‘The BBC was asked to comment, and they simply said I no longer worked for them. That was how I found out. There was never a phone call or a single conversation with my bosses – despite me having worked there for 10 years’.
In 2016, Sarah-Jayne wrote a blog about losing her friendship with Justin, penning: ‘I regret losing my wonderful friendship with Justin. The day my picture went in the paper with the headline, ‘Cboobies’ I never heard from my lovely friend again.’
Speaking about the fall-out she told MailOnline earlier this year: ‘I called and left him a message but to this day he’s never responded. We were the best of mates, so that really hurt. I do understand it though, because as a children’s presenter he needs to protect his own image.’
Hurtful: Sarah-Jayne claimed that she has heard nothing from ‘her best mate’ Mr Tumble – real name Justin Fletcher, 50 – after she was axed by the BBC in 2011
Justin has long been the channel’s hottest property and is said to earn six figure sums from the lucrative live shows that he once put on.
He continues to appear on the series Something Special, which has been praised for its use of Makaton sign language and being aimed at children with special needs or those that struggle to communicate.
Meanwhile, Sarah-Jayne admitted that after her sacking she was bombarded with online abuse criticising her behaviour, and she faced yet more criticism after speaking about taking cocaine in her youth.
Infuriating: The star also posed for a shoot in a skimpy vest pouring Diet Coke all over her breasts, and when the images came to light she learned she’d been sacked
In a 2013 interview she told The Sun: ‘When I did my first line of cocaine, it felt like nothing. It was less mind-altering than alcohol. I started to think, ”I don’t get what the big deal is”. But what I didn’t realise is that cocaine is a slow burner.
‘That’s what is dangerous and what we forget to tell people. Over the first year of me doing it, it got worse and worse.
‘Cocaine psychosis had started to come into my life. I became paranoid because I thought people were following me. I was very thin. My friend and I realised one of us was going to die or go crazy.’
After reflecting on ending her life, she was pulled back from the brink by her Hollyoaks star husband Ayden Callaghan, with whom she has son Phoenix, five, and Indiana, three. The family live together in Lincoln
