bullet Brit nurse who 'bedded three cancer victims' husbands' sacked corner

A nurse has been fired from a UK hospital amid claims she bedded three men whose cancer-stricken wives she cared for in their final days.

Sara Dale, 39, who worked for UK cancer support charity Macmillans, was also 'debadged' by the group.

The attractive divorcee met the men through her job at Queen Elizabeth NHS Hospital in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

Their terminally-ill wives were being treated there and after they died she embarked on relationships with the grieving widowers.

She currently lives with Stephen Ellis, 50, whose long-term partner Mel died of cancer last year.

"Sara was a very popular member of the team at the hospital. When the allegations surfaced people were genuinely shocked," the Sun quoted an NHS source as saying.

"She has been off work for some time but her colleagues were only told she had been dismissed a couple of weeks ago.

"It has been kept quite hush-hush although word quickly got round about the allegations against her.

"Macmillan nurses do an amazing job in supporting cancer patients day in day out. And this is a really unfortunate episode," the source added. (ANI)
