Sarah tragically died in September after revealing she was battling breast cancer in August 2020.
She informed her followers that the cancer had advanced to other parts of her body and said she was “fighting as hard as I possibly can”.
In her autobiography, Hear Me Out, released in March 2020, the doctors had told her that her upcoming Christmas would likely be her last.
Although she announced in January 2020 that the tumours in her brain and lungs had shrunk following treatment, the disease still took a toll on Sarah’s life.

Earlier this year, Sarah’s mum, Marie, shared the heartbreaking news that Sarah had passed.
She wrote at the time: “Many of you will know of Sarah’s battle with cancer and that she fought so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day.
“She slipped away peacefully this morning. I’d like to thank everyone for their kind support over the past year.”
The news of Sarah’s passing rocked the lives of her family, friends and fans, with tributes pouring in from all over, including from her Girls Aloud bandmates.
