I’m currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy sessions and I am fighting as hard as I possibly can.
I understand this might be shocking to read on social media and that really isn’t my intention.

In the meantime I hope you’ll all understand and respect my request for privacy during this difficult time.
Sending you all so much love….xx

Sarah added: "There’s no easy way to say this and actually it doesn’t even feel real writing this, but here goes. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a couple of weeks ago I received the devastating news that the cancer has advanced to other parts of my body."

She then explained she is currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy and is “fighting as hard as I possible can.”

Sarah said she is speaking out publicly after she read online that she was spotted in hospital.

The singer added: “My amazing mum, family and close friends are helping me through this, and I want to say a thank you to the wonderful NHS doctors and nurses who have been and continue to be heroes. I am doing my very best to keep positive and will keep you updated here with how I’m getting on.”
