The presenter of the Channel 4 show went back to her old job in a London hospital during the health crisis, and she was glad that she was able to help out.
Sarah - who has shared her story on Lovehoney's Wall of Female Empowerment, which has been created for International Women's Day on Tuesday (08.3.22) - said: "I feel most empowered when I'm making a difference in the lives of others.
"The last two years have been challenging for all of us and for me being able to return back to the frontline during the pandemic was the most empowered I've felt. "
Meanwhile, Sarah previously admitted to being "nervous" about making a return to the frontline during the pandemic.
The TV star also spoke of her admiration for NHS staff, who were stretched to the limit at the height of the health crisis.
Asked about her lockdown experience, Sarah explained: "I’m committed to a couple of days a week where I work in a busy sexual health clinic so being a key worker, I’m still attending those days and having a little bit of my routine the same. Although, we’re running a very limited service during this pandemic. The days of the week where I would be doing my various other jobs I am indeed on lockdown.
"Being a qualified nurse and given the current pressures on the NHS, I’m voluntarily returning back to full time nursing temporarily to help out on the frontline where I’m needed. I’m nervous but also keen to get back to being clinical and helping my fellow NHS workers who are working so hard!
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done both mentally and physically, but in retrospect I feel proud to be part of such an amazing organisation like the NHS working alongside incredibly brilliant female nurses and doctors."
