Sara marked the milestone with a relaxed and joyful send-off, enjoying a non-alcoholic Guinness while reflecting on what she described as “seven and a half years of silliness” on the beloved teatime programme.

Taking to Instagram, she thanked listeners for their support, joking that the show’s signature “daftness and chaos” would continue — just in a brand new morning format when she takes over the Breakfast show later this year.
