She first came to public attention when she won The Great British Beauty Competition on ITV's This Morning television show. She also appeared in the 1990s revival of Take Your Pick with Des O'Connor. Sarah's part was to hold the gong during the yes/no part of the quiz. Her appearance on This Morning led to a successful modelling career with Pantene, Nike, Oil of Ulay, Speedo, Johnnie Walker, Avon, Sensodyne, Berlei and Durex, before switching, initially to low key media work in the form of voice-overs for the likes of Oil of Olay and narrating for British Sky Broadcasting, presenting corporate videos and regional television. She moved on to presenting and acting in national television and is best known for presenting BBC's DIY show Big Strong Boys, playing the roles of Joly Salter in ITV's Footballers' Wives and Footballers' Wives: Extra Time, Victoria Baptiste (wife of Didier Baptiste) in Sky's Dream Team and Jackie Randall in Mile High.
