In an emotional post, the 50-year-old shared a photo of her newly cropped mane, alongside a snap of her sons in the midst of cutting her hair. "My trainee hairdressers cut off my hair on Friday night - getting one step ahead after first chemo treatment for breast cancer on Friday - the exclusive club you'd rather not be a member of," Sarah wrote.

"To be honest, I wouldn't recommend getting four teenage boys to cut off your hair," she told The Telegraph. "They're not going to be famous hairdressers. They said I looked like Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones – my hair is now in some places about a centimetre long and in some places, it's an inch long."

The presenter revealed that her hair, which she said was in 'not very good condition,' is now on the way to the Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for unwell children.

Sarah spoke of her plans to tackle cancer, explaining she was diagnosed three weeks ago, and began chemotherapy last week.

The mum-of-four said that following chemotherapy, she will have a mastectomy next year, followed by radiotherapy.

Sarah's own mum died of breast cancer, but Sarah says he is hopeful to beat the disease. "I've got a really treatable cancer. I'm lucky to have this type of cancer, in this place, at my age, with the support I've got around me," she said.
