And through the IVF process, she discovered she has cervical cancer – something she still hasn’t told her family. Right now, Jacob is the only other person who knows about Sarah Sugden’s cancer. It’s clear that Sarah has been struggling, and spoilers show that Charity Dingle is about to discover the heartbreaking truth. But now, fans think Sarah might realise how risky carrying her own child would be. Or perhaps she ends up being unable to. So now, viewers think Sarah may head down the surrogacy route.

And Cain also makes an appearance. However, a surgeon soon arrives and reveals that things didn’t go to plan with the operation. But what exactly went wrong remains to be seen. Now, viewers think this will lead to Sarah making a huge decision. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Taking to a Reddit thread, one user suggested the complication may mean Sarah can’t carry a baby. They wrote: “Spoilers for next week have said that Sarah has complications with her surgery. But they haven’t revealed what actually goes wrong. Cervix removal treatment for cervical cancer can have complications that lead to a total removal of the uterus, in which case Sarah could never carry a baby. “We do know that they have managed to get some of Sarah’s eggs and Jacob will offer to be a sperm donor. I think it’s going the way of a surrogacy storyline. Sarah carrying a pregnancy was already incredibly risky and unlikely even before having her cervix removed. Sure after the complicated operation she will have to rethink it?” Charity and Sarah argue right before her surgery (Credit: ITV) Fans speculate about how Sarah will have a baby in Emmerdale Many other fans agree that surrogacy seems the likely direction the storyline is heading. And they all have one person in mind to carry the baby – Charity. One fan wrote: “Charity might offer to be a surrogate.” Another responded: “That was my thinking too. Or if the actress who plays Sarah wanted time off, she could have Debbie do it in Australia.” A third penned: “I’m guessing Sarah will be unable to carry a baby. I did instantly think of Charity as the surrogate. Charity would be pregnant at 50. Debbie has been ruled out because she is now in Australia. I can’t think of any other woman in the village who would contemplate being the surrogate. Other Dingle women are similar ages to Charity, except for Belle. And there is Victoria – Sarah’s adoptive aunt.” A viewer added: “I definitely think most likely is Charity being surrogate. It does sound crazy but plenty of women in the UK have become pregnant in their 50s through IVF whether it be surrogacy or their own baby.” Whether or not Sarah heads down the surrogacy route in Emmerdale for a baby remains to be seen. But that would be a plot twist… What illness does Sarah Sugden have? Sarah Sugden has been desperate for a baby recently in Emmerdale, and everyone keeps telling her how dangerous it will be because of her illness. Over the years, Sarah has spent many nights in hospital, even needing a heart transplant at one stage. So, it's no surprise that her family are constantly worried about her health. But what illness does Sarah Sugden have? Let's have a look at her health history. Sarah Sugden illness Way back in 2011, Sarah sparked concerns when her family noticed she was covered in bruises. When her mum, Debbie brought her to hospital, she was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia - a rare blood disorder which causes bone marrow failure. The doctors revealed she would need a bone marrow transplant in order to save her life. And so Debbie and Andy decided to have a 'saviour sibling' for Sarah to save her life. In 2012, Debbie gave birth to Jack just as Sarah was developing leukaemia. Following the operation, Sarah was released from hospital. Throat cancer diagnosis In 2017, Sarah returned from France with a throat cancer diagnosis. And she needed expensive treatment not available through the NHS. The Dingle's set up a crowdfunding page which received a donation of £20K - all from Faith Dingle. Faith eventually accompanied Sarah to Prague for treatment, and then she also went through another successful operation when home in England. Heart failure for Sarah Sugden In 2018, Sarah collapsed and was rushed to hospital. It was then revealed she was suffering from heart failure as a rare side-effect to her chemotherapy. She was informed that she would need a heart transplant, and over time, her condition worsened. Sarah spent a lot of time in hospital, hoping something would come up and save her life. Four months later, a suitable donor had been found. Despite some complications, Sarah's new heart was stabilised and she was finally able to return home.
