The Radio One Breakfast Show is one of the most listened to broadcasts in Britain, and from 2000, Sara was the trusted voice of the listeners, tasked with waking up the nation for three years. Under her leadership, the early morning show gained its biggest audience yet, with over 7.8 million listeners, a testament to her appeal across demographics. Equally prominent on BBC Radio 2, Sara covered all the major shows as relief support and presented the much-adored 'Sounds of the 80s', with listeners favouring her music knowledge and upbeat nature.

Rising to popularity on The Girlie Show, Sara originally entered the spotlight as a model, working on contracts for video games, advertisements, and music videos. With her vivacious personality shining through the camera, Sara was soon snapped up for other television opportunities. Led by her passion for music, Sara fronted MTV Hot and Born Sloppy until she landed the prestigious role as a presenter for 'The Big Breakfast'.
