About Sarah

Born and bred in Yorkshire to parents Stephen and Patricia, at aged 12 Sarah joined the infamous Oldham Theatre Workshop, the birth place to many of the UK's top soap and movie stars. 

Although not widely publicised, back in earlier years, the only way to work in television was by holding an 'Equity' card, so the footings to Sarah's career in media stemmed from dancing at the world famous 'Moulin Rouge' in Paris because as a trained dancer, working at a cabaret venue was a sure way of becoming an equity member quickly. 

With strict dance regimes and diets so all girls looked identical, followed by several seasons at the Raymond Review Cabaret in London's Soho, Sarah loved the stage lights so much, she remained as a professional showgirl for a further 6 years. 

Whilst she danced at night as one of Europe's top showgirls head to toe in feathers and thick make-up, she worked for Granada Television by day as a presenter for the infamous 'Men & Motors' channel. It was an era whereby never the twain shall meet.

Before her life under professional lights, she studied fashion design at Manchester Uni's Toast Rack and had a long list of clients before boredom loomed calling for stage theatrics and extreme sports.

Bringing us up-to-date, most recently Sarah has just finished filming 'Back in Action' as the stunt double for Cameron Diaz. To be released in 2024.

Sarah specializes in all water stunts on, in and under the water and is fully insured and a qualified HSE Media Diver.

She recently spoke at the UK Dive Show in March 2024, and is featured in the February 2024 issue of Scuba Diver Magazine.

With a career in powerboat racing starting in 1993, it wasn't long before Sarah was racing in America from 2004 with Virgin Atlantic assisting her travel making sure she arrived ready to race! Richard Branson himself a keen powerboat racer. But it wasn't just boats which she became addicted to. She was also short-listed for Formula Woman after being requested by Renault to try out for a new racing series. 

This saw 1000's of girls submit applications to become the next star of the track. 1000's became just 12 with Sarah spending weeks on tracks around the UK being trained as as a standby driver as she didn't quite make the top 12, but that didn't deter Sarah as Colin McRae opted to treat Sarah to a lesson in Rally driving telling her she would be more suited to rally than track after having raced offshore for so long.

Not all races end in glory as she was soon to find out. Sarah had a bad motorsports crash in 1999 leaving her on a life support machine, but it didn't stop her love for extreme sports and stunts. Still with her jaw wired together from the accident and news stories and reinactments of the accident continually hitting international TV, even BBC's 999 and 'Ripley's Believe it or Not!' Nigel Mansell requested her as his co-presenter at the 'British Nautical Awards' 

Sarah a few years later worked in Venice doubling Angelina Jolie in The Tourist as her 'hero driver'  

Sarah is a keen marine conservation advocate, PADI rescue diver, freediver, stingray diver, author and marine biologist in study, she was also nominated as a 'Woman of Achievement' at 'Woman of the Year' in London. One of her proudest moments.

A marine conservation advocate she her passion is working as a volunteer across the world as a Marine conservationist helping maintain the health of our oceans, corals and endangered species and hoping for a balance above and below our waters. 

Sarah's biggest concern as she believes everyones should be when it comes to our water, is the amount of plastic in the ocean which is killing marine life. 

When on dry land, Sarah is a respected sportswoman, a former track and field athlete, she has won the World Tri-Fitness Championships twice against upwards of over 250 athletes and is qualified not only in diet and nutrition but also as a strength and conditioning coach. 

Sarah was the 1st female to sit on the judging panel at the 'British Nautical Awards' and is an advocate for women in male dominated sports.

Sarah also has a keen interest in both electric cars and boats especially because of her Marine Conservation volunteering work.

Stay tuned and thank you for your valued support over the years...
