Born in Ascot, Berkshire before moving to Stockport in Manchester, Sarah credits her musical genes to her musician father John. Before fame beckoned Sarah toured the North West of England performing at social clubs and pubs. In 2002 she was recording vocals on dance tracks before auditioning for the ITV talent show, Popstar : The Rivals. The rest as they say is history.

“Singing was always my main ambition, but acting was something else I wanted to achieve” and along with the rest of her Girls Aloud bandmates, Sarah made a cameo appearance in the 2007 remake of Brit Flick St. Trinian's.
Her first real foray into acting came in the BBC TV film, Freefall playing the beautician girlfriend of Domnic Cooper. Later that year Sarah returned to the St. Trinian's franchise with a starring role in St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold playing teenage rebellious wannabe rock star Roxie.
In 2012, Girls Aloud reunited for their tenth anniversary as a band, releasing a greatest hits album 10 and the official BBC Children In Need single, Something New. The band then embarked on a tour before officially splitting in 2013. Sarah is currently working on a solo album.
