“She was a giant and I remember having an inkling then what childbirth was and realising that I didn’t want something that size coming out of me. That was the moment I was put off children forever!”
Was Sarah Millican married before?
Sarah wed her first husband, Andrew Millican in 1997.
However, she has since revealed that the marriage ended very "abruptly", and "unexpectedly".
The pair got divorced in 2004 and she moved back in with her parents for two and half years.
In her book, she opened up about her past marriage - revealing that he just "got up and left” her.
In 2020, Sarah opened up about how she still "cried daily" as she struggled with her mental health after her divorce - despite remarrying.
She said she had been having therapy for years and might "never stop having counselling".
Sarah's stand-up material is largely based on her unexpected split from her ex-husband Andrew.
Speaking in her podcast, she 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.”
Sarah went on:: “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.”
