Just days after she was slated by theatregoers following a performance at London's New Wimbledon Theatre over the weekend, Sarah, 34, was diagnosed with an upper respiratory tract infection and has been told to rest by her doctor.
Her spokesperson told The Sun Online: "Sarah went to see the doctor today who diagnosed an upper respiratory tract infection.
"She's been really pushing herself over the past three weeks, rehearsing solidly for the show and making sure her performance is perfect.
"Fans of Sarah will know that she is a true grafter and that she always pushes herself to the absolute limit, but it's all caught up with her.
"She still has three months of nightly performances to get through, and she's dead set on giving it her absolute all."
Following Sarah's performance over the weekend, a number of people took to Twitter to slate her.
One user wrote: "So...how many shows do we think Sarah Harding will finish before she 'leaves' the production?" while another added: "I feel bad for her. She should never have been put in the position to play Molly."
'Ghost: The Musical' is Sarah's theatre debut, in which she plays Demi Moore's character Molly from the beloved 1990 movie opposite former 'Hollyoaks' actor Andy Moss - who is portraying Molly's murdered lover Sam, a role made famous by Patrick Swayze on the big screen.
And Sarah recently admitted she hadn't been able to contain her embarrassment during their romantic scenes.
She said: "The other day I had to start to do the odd kiss, and I start blushing! It's not something I'm used to, I've never really done on screen snogging.
"Andy is lovely. The more familiar we get the more comfortable it becomes. At the end of the day it's just a job, he's done it a million times. I'm the one who is blushing!"
