Her stand-up material is largely based on her unexpected split from husband Andrew in 2004.
Sarah said: “At the moment, I cry daily. At random times. I’ve had a counsellor for a long time and will always, because I find them sort of helpful, and I’m really interested in how my brain works.
“It’s been a few years now. When I got divorced I knew I needed someone to talk things out with, I didn’t really want to.
“I wanted to work through stuff so that if I ever again was in a position to meet somebody new, I wanted to be ready and I would be in a good mental place.”
She told a podcast: “After my divorce I had a bunch of sessions and I never had the last appointment, as I always wanted to leave it open. But I’m sure that last one would’ve been when she said, ‘I think you’re all right now’.

“Sometimes all I do is moan at her. And sometimes I go, ‘I’m all right, I feel like a fraud, I’m all right’. It’s just to keep on top of it so things don’t come to a head.”
Sarah has previously insisted her time as a wife was “seven happy years” and that her ex “didn’t do anything wrong”, adding: “It’s just really sad.”
The Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown star went on to marry comic Gary Delaney, 47, in 2013.
