And while we can’t blame her for that, her next idea in her mission to live her life to the full has more than a few complications. She told Vanessa on Monday night (April 28) that she had decided to have a baby. She doesn’t need a man and just wants to be a mum before it’s too late. Sarah has life-limiting condition Fanconi anaemia, which is a complex medical condition. It could lead to bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities and organ defects. Sarah is also at an increased risk of certain types of cancer. In fact she has already battled throat cancer.

Because of that, Sarah has been determined to live her life and experience as much joy as possible before she dies. So far that has included joyriding quad bikes and robbing Rodney’s van! But now she thinks having a baby is the answer to fulfilment. She chats to Manpreet on Tuesday (April 29) expressing her desires. Although Manpreet tries to advise her it’s not likely to happen, Sarah refuses to accept reality and insists she’s found other cases where it’s worked out for the women involved. She vows to push ahead and starts contacting fertility clinics to get the ball rolling. But will she be left broken hearted?

They think she is selfish, given she knows she will die sooner rather than later, leaving the child without a mother. “A tad selfish of Sarah to want to bring a child into this world considering she might not live long enough to bring it up,” shared one fan on social media. Another stated: “Sarah has a life-limiting condition and wants a baby…” “Why in the hell are they trying to do an IVF storyline with a young Sarah WTH???” raged a third. One more wrote: “Can someone just grab Sarah and slap the [bleep] out of her. She has to be the world’s most irritating teenager. Wanting a baby, whatever next.” “Sarah who was worrying about being with a guy cos she could die anytime, now wants a baby that she could die anytime on leaving it without a mum and I’m guessing no dad around,” queried a fifth.
