Sarah Jayne Dunn has confessed she loves not wearing knickers and will even pop to Tesco commando because it feels ‘freeing’.

The former Hollyoaks star, 42, has insisted ditching underwear is the way to go, as she hits back at trolls who have said it is ‘gross’ to forgo undies.

Sarah said she is all for the recent trend to go knicker-free, after stars such as Kylie Jenner, Miley Cyrus and Fern Britton all vouched for the look.

Speaking to The Sun, Sarah said: ‘I’ve always been a proud commando girl. I go knickerless all the time, so much in fact that my other half calls it my ‘uniform’.

‘After a long day at work I march through the door and whip off my undies. It’s not just guys who need a bit of air down there, you know.’

Sarah mentioned Kylie’s recent decision to go commando in a pair of sheer black tights while modelling Sam Edelman’s shoe collection.

While Vick Hope also followed suit and ditched her pants in a form-fitting Versace dress at the Harper’s Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards.

Sarah recalled the first time she decided to not wear her knickers at an awards ceremony in her twenties, claiming it was ‘practical’ not to have a VPL (visible panty line).

Revealing she has since done it ‘many times’ since, she said: ‘I’ve been commando in public tonnes of times, too. I’ll go to my local supermarket without knickers on. No one else knows I’m completely starkers underneath my joggers. It’s actually quite freeing.

Sarah’s statement echoes remarks made by Fern during her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Fern revealed she doesn’t mind going commando as her and Zeze Millz discussed their underwear preferences.

After doing some laundry, Lauren Simons informed Fern that the washing wasn’t quite dry yet and was in the tumble dryer, as she joked she was ‘shrinking’ all their washing.

Fern, 66, replied: ‘Oh no that’s fine because I have big proper women’s pants’.

Agreeing with Fern, Zeze added: ‘Yes me too I love a big knickers,’ before both women admitted that they are also partial to going commando.

As Zeze admitted: ‘I’m not a fan of the big knicker line you know, sometimes I go commando,’ Ferne said: ‘Yes me too.’

She continued: ‘I agree with you. And in jeans it’s easy’.

As Zeze disagreed, exclaiming: ‘Not jeans, imagine no underwear in jeans’. Fern made the confession that she is ‘all dried up down their’.

Reflecting on the what her daughters tell her, she joked: ‘My daughters say to me “Actually mum you’re so old it’s alright because you are all dried up down there!” Charming!’.

Fans couldn’t believe what they were hearing as they took to Twitter to share their shock.

One wrote: ‘fern going commando in jeans is something i did NOT need to know’, while a second penned: ‘We didn’t need to know about fern going commando’.

A third chimed: ‘Fern Britton goes commando!! I didn’t need to know this!!

Another joked: ‘Commando in jeans? FERN? YOU GROTTY COW’.

Another teased: ‘fern wearing jeans without underwear… bloody hell she’s brave’.

While another exclaimed: ‘WHY WOULD YOU NOT WEAR PANTS WITH JEANS FERN???’

Another joked: ‘Fern’s bare chuff rubbing against the inside crotch of a pair of denim jeans is not the image we all needed right now’.
