Sarah has been dating Reuben for one year

In the first episode of the new series, Sarah revealed that she met Reuben through their mutual friend, Tom, who also appears in the show, and that she has been learning more about mechanics by working on Reuben and Clive's project. 

"I met Reuben through Tommy, actually," she said. "We just got on really well and he taught me some stuff

"I'm going to do an engineering course at college and I feel like I could adapt some of this towards that because I kind of know a bit about the machines now."
