She stated that filming was absolute torture and she turned to alcohol to cope with her anxiety.

She found other cast members were ‘insanely judgemental’.

“I had to suck it up. I was drinking far too much while filming. I think we shot for 12 weeks and 80 per cent of that time I was drinking too much.”

She recollected one instance where she and castmate Alex Reid sat for two hours and weren’t allowed to leave.

“I brought a bottle of gin and was drinking it from my bag… they ended up confiscating it off me.”

Ultimately, Sarah suffered from a mental breakdown.

After filming ended Sarah started going back to the gym and stopped drinking, adopting a healthier lifestyle.
