According to Mail Online, the trio was spotted driving through London to hand out care packages to workers at Hammersmith Hospital on two separate occasions. The deliveries reportedly contained a number of essentials for frontline staff battling the COVID-19 crisis, including toothpaste, soap, shower gel, hand wash, anti-bacterial wipes, dried pasta, pasta sauces, rice, cereal bars and tinned fruit.

On Friday, the 60-year old praised her friend, German confectionery entrepreneur Hermann Bühlbecker, for supporting "hard workers in the UK", as she shared a photo of herself carrying a large box of sweet treats from the confectionary company. Two days later, Sarah confirmed that food company Olly's Olives would also be helping to feed NHS staff.

In a message next to a series of photos of the savoury snacks, Sarah wrote: "Thank you from the York Family to @ollysolives as this week, they will be donating olives to @nhsenglandldn workers all over the UK. It is wonderful to see a British company supporting the front line workers."
