AFTER YEARS AS A MEMBER OF THE UK’S BIGGEST GIRL GROUP SARAH FINALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT ELSE SHE HAD TO GIVE

- KIRSTEN JONES

During her time in Girls Aloud, Sarah always knew she had so much more to offer. When the group announced they were taking a hiatus in 2009, this was her moment. Fuelled by talent, sparkling charisma and a pure passion for performing, she blossomed on screen and stage as an actress, gave her all to a solo singing career and won the hearts of the nation on the most famous reality show in the history of TV...

FREEFALL AIRED ON BBC2

Sarah starred in this TV movie as the glamorous girlfriend of a ruthless mortgage salesman (played by Preacher star Dominic Cooper) who scams his old friend during the 2007 financial crisis.

The budding actress explained, “Singing was always my main ambition, but acting was something else I wanted to achieve. Freefall is a complete contrast to what people see of me from being in the band. It’s a gritty role and film.”
