The Girls Aloud singer was in a secret relationship with plasterer Aaron Lacey before entering the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house, where she fell for 'Bachelor' star Chad, and insisted that Chad has become her "best friend".
Speaking after being crowned the winner, Sarah told host Emma Willis: "I was in a short-term relationship for a number of weeks.
"Chad became my best friend... he has been my rock; every day feels like a week in there.
"Everything we went through cannot compare with what I had on the outside; it was like we had known each other for weeks and weeks.
"I think we are just going to see what happens, but we are definitely going to see more of each other."
The blonde beauty had exited the house in tears, and said she was "in shock" as she didn't believe she would last longer than 10 days before being booted from the show.
She said: "I'm just in shock I can't believe it, it's been a bit of a tough ride.
"Honestly [I thought I'd last] about 10 days, I was so out of my comfort zone with so many big personalities. I'd been living in the countryside with my dogs, I knew I just had to get back out there. My confidence levels had dropped, I needed a new chapter to start afresh."
Earlier, Jemma Lucy landed in sixth place, behind Chad and Derek Acorah who finished fifth and fourth respectively.
Third place went to Sam Thompson, whilst Amelia Lily was crowned the runner-up.
