Sarah Jayne Dunn is to reprise her role as Mandy Richardson in 'Hollyoaks Later'.

The 31-year-old actress is to appear in the upcoming sixth series of the 'Hollyoaks' spin-off after starring as the blonde bombshell in the Channel 4 soap on and off since 1996, and she has hinted her alter-ego could get up to more mischief on her return to the village.

A post on her official website stated: "Sarah is returning to 'Hollyoaks' to once again reprise her longstanding role of Mandy for the 'Hollyoaks Later' episodes ...

"What will be in store for Mandy this time around? Watch this space?"

Sarah was last seen on 'Hollyoaks' in September 2011 when Mandy reconciled her relationship with Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard) before changing her mind and leaving him a note saying she had left the village.

In June, Sarah hinted she would be making a return to the show and admitted she was pleased to see Gemma Bissix had reprised her role as superbitch Clare.

She said: "Possibly in the next few months I might be making a little sneaky return. Gemma Bissix has [also] returned and it's very exciting, actually."
