I worked with Sarah in Bournmouth at an investment firm in 1997/98. She’s a rare breed is our Sarah – beautiful of course and has a wonderful sense of humour. You don’t find women like Sarah very often and i’m very happt to have known her. I read the oomments about one or two other contestants being pissed off when Sarah won in 1983. I agree with them, it was unfair….quite simply coz our Sarah was streets ahead of them in every sense and they had no chance. The’re not fit to lace Sarah’s boots! Good on yer sarah, well done and keep smiling, ya cheeky monkey!! MDA rocks!

Shaun, which investment company was it you worked with Sarah-Jane at?
I am writing a book about beauty queens and would love to interview her over email.
You will get a credit in my book if you are able to help!
Many thanks.
