Emmerdale actress Sammy Winward’s lookalike daughter Mia Winward-Dunn has announced she is pregnant with her first child.
But she hasn’t told her famous mother, 40, or ex footballer father, David Dunnn, 46, because they haven’t spoken in two years due to their upset over her OnlyFans career.
Mia, 20, announced the news on Wednesday in an interview with The Sun, showing off her bump for the first time and announcing she has now quit the site.
She admits the occasion is ‘bittersweet’ due to her family estrangement and said she now lives a wholesome life in the Lake District with the father of her unborn child, who she has decided not to name.
They have been together for one year and she says only that he is a ‘multi-talented guy.’

Mia claims she wants to reconcile with her parents but isn’t ready, saying: ‘I am emotionally vulnerable while I’m pregnant and I really don’t want a big, stressful situation’
Mia said of her parents: ‘I haven’t reached out to them yet and they don’t really know how to contact me.
‘I am emotionally vulnerable while I’m pregnant and I really don’t want a big, stressful situation.’
Mia has said she does want to reconcile with her mum and dad and recalls her dad calling her a ‘w***e’ when he found out she had joined the adult site and slammed the phone down on her when she attempted to reconnect with him.
But she said: ‘Now that I have my own baby inside me, I just couldn’t imagine not speaking to my child.’
But she does admit that being so young, she perhaps didn’t really understand why they were so against her decision to go on the site.
Mia claims she doesn’t regret posing for OnlyFans, saying she had the ‘best year or two of my life travelling the world for shoots with amazing people’ and at one point, she made £100,000 a month by stripping off fully nude, meaning she won’t have to work while she’s pregnant.
And she claims there is one family member she is still in touch with, but refused to give away their identity.
In a sign of hope for the family, Mia admits she is wishing she could have special moments with her mother and would love to go shopping for baby clothes with her.
But she said: ‘There’s a lot to forgive and that process hasn’t even started yet’ but she is ready to apologise, as long as her parents do too.
She now admits she does have a good mum and dad, they made her who she is and admits she made some bad decisions and she said there is not a part of her that doesn’t want them to be in her baby’s life.
Her words are in stark contrast to last June, when Mia made the bombshell claim she was ’emotionally neglected’ by her mother, after being ‘cut off’ by her parents.

Mia claimed that during her childhood she felt ‘lonely and controlled’ and would sometimes only see her mother Sammy for ’10 minutes a day’ due to her filming schedule on Emmerdale.
Breaking down in tears, she said: ‘I was raised by a 19-year-old soap star… I may have been spoiled materially, but I was definitely neglected emotionally.
‘I often felt lonely, picked on and controlled – about what I wore, what I said in public and most of all unsupported.
‘At times her choices – like boyfriends – left me feeling scared and sometimes it felt like too much pressure was placed on my shoulders.’
Mia views her mother’s reaction to her OnlyFans career as hypocritical given she herself posed for lads magazines during her soap heyday.
She said: ‘I just think how, how can you not be accepting? You were younger than me when you stripped off and now you’ve completely blocked me out of your life.’
During the interview, Mia shared that due to her mother’s absence, she was predominantly raised by her grandmother.
She added that her parents split when she was young, and she met many of Sammy’s later partners, noting one would ‘yell at her’ when she was just four years old.
Mia went onto reveal that when she turned 16 she had enough of being ‘controlled’ by her mother, and so decided to move in with her dad, despite being estranged from him for many years.
Last year, Mia revealed that she fled the UK, and has bought her first house in Mexico using the thousands she’s earned on OnlyFans before moving to the UK.
The mother and daughter were previously thought to have been close and had described their relationship as being like ‘best mates’.
But Mia admitted that was untrue and in fact they sometimes ‘butted heads’ due to their similarities.
Last year, Mia explained that she would be taking a step back until everyone had cooled off and said it would be down to her family to be the ones to reach out to make amends in a ‘calmer manner.’
