Alexandra Burke makes heartbreaking admission over new TV role

Sarah was drawn to the series because she loved the idea of the public debate it would bring. “When I got the job, I remember telling my female friends what it was about and they all said, ‘God, that sounds fantastic, I want to watch that.’ But the reality of a curfew is not fantastic, there are pros and cons and many discussions and arguments to have in favour and against.
