The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that pop singer Sarah is keen to be on Celebrity Big Brother line-up but she's having serious doubts over being thrust back into the spotlight again.

An insider told us: "Sarah is fully onboard. But she is not sure if she feels ready.

"She has been enjoying a career out of the spotlight recently and is not sure she wants to give up her low-key presence just yet - especially as she just hit the headlines in a major way after her affair with Danny Dyer was revealed."

"Sarah is not 100 per cent sure she wants to go through it all again.";

The show is set to return to TV later this year with an all-star cast.

Sarah shot to fame in 2002 when she was picked to become a member of Girls Aloud on TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals.

After the band split for good in 2013, she attempted to launch a solo music career, but her debut album was never released.

She later put her musical ambitions to one side to pursue more acting roles as she landed a small part in Coronation Street and a starring role in a stage version of hit movie Ghost.

News of Sarah's potential leap into reality TV comes just over a week after The Sun exclusively revealed that she fell for Danny  back in 2012 when they starred opposite each other in British film Run For Your Wife, in which the EastEnders actor played a cabbie secretly juggling two wives.

A pal of Sarah said: “She felt betrayed by him.”

Reports of the fling with Sarah put Danny Dyer's marriage under pressure and he's been spotted staying in a hotel.

The singer believed the actor was living with his father when their secret affair began.

But Sarah was heartbroken to learn Danny actually had a long-term partner, now his wife - Joanne.

The friend added: “He had told her he was living with his dad in Canning Town and that he was single."

They added: “But eventually his mask slipped. She felt hurt and incredibly betrayed by him. They’ve seen each other a few times since and it’s been very awkward.”

Despite Joanne 'humiliated' by Danny's affair, sources close to the married couple say they “won’t let this come between them”.

An insider told : “Jo knows what Danny has got up to in the past, but they work through their issues in their own way, and at the end of the day they are as thick as thieves.”

Danny 39, and childhood sweetheart Jo, 39 have been together on and off for 20 years and have three children. They married in September.
