The TV weather forecaster tried desperately to fight off a coughing fit that would have ruined her segment on Sunday’s show (July 10).
Poor Sarah looked visibly uncomfortable as she did her best to tell the nation about a possible heatwave without coughing on air.

However, hosts Nina Warhurst and Roger Johnson were quick to praise their brave colleague for her professionalism.
Concerned for his co-star, Roger said: “Hopefully, somebody is standing by with a glass of water for you, Sarah.”
Sarah replied: “That’s exactly what I’m going to do!”
