Sarah's rise to fame began in 1988 when she joined the National Youth Theatre, a prestigious institution that has launched the careers of many notable actors. During her three-year tenure, she had the unique opportunity to serve as the escort to Prince Edward at a NYT ball, a experience that undoubtedly left a lasting impression on her.
Sarah's early stage career was marked by her 1992 debut in the play "Lust," followed by a string of West End musicals, including "Oliver," "Les Miserables," "The Rocky Horror Show," and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" in 2015. Her impressive repertoire also includes a season at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, under the direction of Sir Alan Ayckbourn, as well as performances with the National Theatre in "She Stoops to Conquer" and the Royal Court in "Jerusalem," which was later transferred to Broadway.
Before making her mark on the small screen, Sarah made her television debut in 1997 with a role in the sitcom "The Brittas Empire." She went on to appear in popular series such as "Emmerdale," "Keeping Mum," and "WP 56" before joining the cast of "Doctors" in 2012.
In addition to her acting career, Sarah has also been involved in charity work, having completed the 2000 London Marathon to raise funds for the Alzheimers Society. As of 2018, she resides in London with her partner, actor Adrian Grove, and has no cat named Geoffrey, unlike her character Valerie Pitman from "Doctors."
