Sarah Beeny confesses she wanted more children after her four sons but their dad said a firm no 

Presenter Sarah Beeny has revealed she wanted more children after having four sons.

The TV star, 50, is mother to Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Rafferty, 14, and Laurie, 12, with husband, 19, Graham Swift.

But she has admitted that she would have liked to have six children before Graham said a firm no.

Speaking to Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, Sarah joked that Graham had told her that if she wanted to add to their brood, it had to be with another man.

“I actually wanted to have more kids, but Graham said I should have them with my next husband,” Sarah said.

“And I didn’t think I’d find another man with four kids, so I thought, ‘Oh, I’ll stay with you then.’ I actually wanted six.’

The TV host and real estate expert, 50, revealed last month that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and has since undergone at least one round of chemotherapy.

Sarah revealed her diagnosis in an interview with The Telegraphwhich revealed that she had always suspected she would develop the disease after her mother Ann died of cancer at age 39 when Sarah was only 10 years old.

Sarah, who presents shows including Help! My House Is Falling Down and Sarah Beeny’s New Life In The Country, were diagnosed after finding a lump that led to a biopsy.

She has been told that the cancer has not spread and “there is an 80 percent chance of a cure.”

The mother of the star had breast cancer that spread to her brain, and she died at age 39, when Beeny was 10.

Sarah admitted she “collapsed a bit” in the doctor’s office,” but explained to the nurse, “You don’t understand. I’ve waited forty years to hear those words.’ I knew one day I would hear it.’

Days after starting chemotherapy, she decided to enlist her four sons to help her cut her hair short.

She admitted that Billy, 18, Charlie, 16, Rafferty, 14, and Laurie, 12, “will not be famous hairdressers” after the uneven cut.

“I used to be very, very sad. I think because losing your hair is so real, for that you can pretend it’s not happening,” she added of the pivotal moment.

Documenting the moment in an Instagram post, she wrote: ‘A small pile of hair that’s not in very good shape on its way to @officiallittleprincesstrust – my intern hairdressers cut my hair Friday night – one step ahead after the first chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer on Friday – the exclusive club you’d rather not be a member of!’

Sarah added in her interview that while she wasn’t told her own mother’s cancer was terminal, she was candid about her own diagnosis with her boys.

“I’m lucky because I live in a family where we all talk,” she explained. “They just said, ‘Will you be honest?’ And I said, “I promise you I’ll be there for a long time. It’s going to be a little hard. But I promise you I won’t lie.” And I think they were fine when I said that.’

Despite her diagnosis, Sarah has said she will continue to work and is currently focusing on a new Channel 4 series and book that she has planned for later in the year.

Sarah and her family left their London home in March to move into a seven-bedroom house in Somerset, having bought a former 220-acre farm in 2018.

The family made the move final after documenting the farm’s purchase and restoration in the Channel 4 series Sarah Beeny’s New Life In The Country.

In 2010, Sarah also played her family in the series Beeny’s Restoration Nightmare, in which she and Graham documented the renovation of Rise Hall, a Grade II listed stately home in Rise, East Yorkshire.

They transformed the stately home into a family home and wedding venue and sold the property in 2019.

Sarah’s four sons, who have formed a band, recently dedicated a song to her, with the proud mom taking to Instagram on Mother’s Day to share the song with fans.

The four boys have named their group Entitled Sons – a cheeky reference to their privileged upbringing.

The song, titled Unconditional, sees the real estate mogul’s face on the front “uncanny” merge with her son Charlie’s.

A delighted Sarah was moved by their dedication, made with the help of their Father.
