THERE'S nude doubt about it, going commando getting trendy in Tinseltown - and actress Sarah Jayne Dunn says it's about time too.
The ex-Hollyoaks star, 42, who played Mandy Richardson in the long-running soap, has proudly confessed to being knicker-free in public from star-studded red carpet events to Tesco shopping trips.
Here, the OnlyFans icon and mum-of-one bares all about the perks of being pantless and why all women should do the same...
"Being knickerless is the latest trend to hit Hollywood with stars like the Kardashians, Vick Hope and Miley Cyrus baring their bums in designer fits - and I salute them.
"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.

"So you can imagine my delight when I saw Kylie Jenner completely starkers under sheer black tights while modelling Sam Edelman's latest shoe collection.
"Kylie's bare bum was closely followed by DJ Vick Hope, who recently whipped off her undies to wear a barely-there Versace number at the Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards.
"And we can't forget Kanye West's daring beau Bianca, who recently made jaws drop in a fur coat and crotch-flashing tights in Paris.
"Going commando has long been a skill of sorcery on the red carpet, allowing stars to show off in figure-hugging frocks without the risk of a visible pantyline.
"When a man admits he goes commando it’s totally acceptable, so why isn’t it for women?
"There’s so many rules, limitations and expectations put on us. We feel pressured to look and dress in an ‘appropriate’ way and follow all these ideals. When we step out of line, I celebrate.
"Think about it - it’s just like taking your bra off, but your bottom half. The relief is fabulous.
"Ex-This Morning host Fern Britton said it best on Celebrity Big Brother.
"66-year-old Fern revealed she regularly goes commando, even in her jeans.
I go knickerless all the time...my other half calls it my 'uniform'."

"The mum-of-four spilled the beans to fellow TV host Zeze Millz: “I do it. My girls are revolting to me, they say 'mother how can you' and then they say 'actually it's alright because you're so old you're all dried up up there'."
"Fern’s admission shocked the nation, with hoards of viewers calling her ‘brave’ or ‘grotty’. Well, I say good on her.
"I remember the first time I went commando at an award ceremony. I was in my early 20s, zipped into a body-sculpting dress with my bottom feeling the breeze.
"What can I say? It was practical. I couldn't have my gorgeous gown ruined by the seam of a thong or frilly knicker.
"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.
"The only thing that worries me is if I get hit by a bus - I won’t be wearing matching undies…what on earth will the paramedics think?
"But jeans is where I'll draw the line. Sorry Fern, you're iconic but the thought of your bits rubbing on denim…it’s got to hurt, hasn’t it?
"I totally disagree with trolls who call these women gross, smelly or claim we’ll get stains on our skirts and trousers.

"Honestly, get a grip on reality. We’re all human and we’ve all got bits and pieces down there. It’s not disgusting. These people aren’t worth our time and shouldn’t be looking down there anyway.
"If a bloke can go pants-free, so can we."
