Big Brother star Sara McLean is reportedly dating James Haskell – and it’s fair to say she’s no stranger to being in the spotlight.
Sara, 34 – who shot to fame on the reality show in 2012 and reached the final – and James, 39, were snapped holding hands at the Cheltenham Festival earlier this week. The reported new couple looked rather cosy as they watched the track. It’s a move that will likely “sting” for his ex-wife Chloe Madeley, one expert told ED!.
But who are Sara’s famous exes? Why did doctors fear she had brain damage? And when did she take part in a topless photoshoot? Keep on reading to find out…

Big Brother star Sara McLean was in ‘hit-and-run’
In July 2013, a year after her Big Brother stint, Sara revealed she was “lucky to be alive” following an alleged hit-and-run that caused her leg to shatter – and doctors even feared brain damage.
Sara was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and underwent tests for brain damage. She later revealed her leg was broken in four places.
“Initially, doctors feared I had sustained brain damage but that was ruled out morning after lengthy tests,” she said, as MailOnline reports.
“My left leg is broken in four places and, although that has been agony, I’m almost thankful it’s the only damage. I’m lucky to be alive,” Sara added.
Sara’s had ‘sexual chemistry’ with friend
In 2016, Sara appeared in Channel 4’s The Lie Detective with her friend John. The show followed couples, exes and pals who came together to open up about their relationships.
According to Sara, she never dated her friend John – but was aware that they had sexual chemistry.
He asked her: “What was your first impression of me?” Sara then awkwardly replied. “Oh gosh, I hated you! Player.” She was telling the truth.
She also asked if he had ever been with any of her friends. He denied it but it turned out he was lying…
Topless photoshoot
Before her Big Brother stint, Sara McLean was a former Miss Edinburgh – and she has continued to model since.
In 2013, she stripped off for a topless photoshoot, no doubt setting pulses racing… the model bared her chest in one photo, wearing nothing but a pair of black knickers.
Currently, she is signed to MOT Models.
