The sexual health worker explained to the show, ‘The story was sensational and tragic and awful and shook the world.’
‘I’m coming out of a very difficult, dark time. I’m ready to start to live my life again where I haven’t been for such a long time. And be able to just have nice times and not be so stressed or worried or anxious or angry. To be carefree.’
We wish her the best of luck on her quest for lurrrve. We all deserve some happiness and Sara Rowbotham sure as hell needs a massive slab of that cake. What a lady.
