    Former BBC presenter says TV career was 'worse than any heartbreak' in sad confession

    Presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard welcomed former television personality Sarah Cawood to the studio during Tuesday’s (16 September) episode of This Morning. Sarah, 53, is most famous for presenting the BBC children’s programme Live and Kicking during the 1990s. Viewers will also remember her from hosting Top of the Pops and MTV’s Singled Out. She additionally appeared on Loose Women and Richard and Judy. She stepped away from her broadcasting career after becoming a mother. In 2012, she welcomed a son, and in 2013, she welcomed a daughter with her husband. Sarah joined This Morning following a social media post in which she confessed to feeling “lost” and battling emotions of “jealousy” while watching others in the entertainment world flourish, reports Wales Online . Ben questioned Sarah about the anxiety and “self-doubt” she faced during her time as a TV presenter, leading her to make a heartbreaking confession. Sarah confessed, “I had the worst imposter syndrome, but I don’t think that’s unusual. Most people that I’ve spoken to-in fact, I bet you two felt the same-are all like, ‘Should I really be here? Am I good enough to be?'”. “But, I think that was amplified when all the jobs sort of fell away in the mid-noughties. I was like, ‘Oh, maybe I was just rubbish all along. ‘ It was really hard to deal with.” She continued by disclosing that watching her television career “fading away” devastated her, though she has since discovered silver linings in its conclusion. “I always say that the fading away of my TV career was worse than any heartbreak I ever had from any boy. Telly broke my heart worse,” Sarah added. “But, I have had time with my children, and I am super grateful for that. And, you find other stuff to do! You just find a way through. I can’t lie, though, it is nice to be here.” Sarah revealed how she’d been overwhelmed with messages of support following her candid Instagram post, where she’d confessed to feeling “left out” whilst watching her contemporaries reach fresh career heights. She informed Ben and Cat that countless individuals had reached out to share that they experienced identical emotions, and she’d been engaged in discussions with social media followers going through comparable situations This Morning airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 .
