Sarah Ferguson 'offered I'm A Celebrity hundreds of times'

Sarah Ferguson has revealed she's repeatedly turned down I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, saying "hundreds of times". The Duchess, 64, shared with Platinum Magazine that despite rejecting the ITV jungle show, she's keen on joining Netflix's hit series Bridgerton.

She said: "I've asked my agent to get me on Bridgerton! The set designs are incredible!" Ferguson fantasised about a role, adding: "I could be a long-lost friend for Penelope (Featherington played by Nicola Coughlan.) I just have to be on Bridgerton!"

On declining I'm A Celebrity, she explained: "I've been asked to go on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! hundreds of times, and the answer is always no. I'm sure it's lovely for lots of people but not for me!" Would you like to see her on the show? Let us know in the comments.

Her stance comes despite Royal connections to the show, noting Mike Tindall, married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara, took part in the 2022 edition. In the same interview Ferguson opened up about her recent skin cancer diagnosis, following a battle with breast cancer the previous summer.

Discussing the support from her family she said: "The whole York family has rallied round and I couldn't have got through it without them. My girls in particular have been rock solid in their support. We always call ourselves The Tripod as we are there to prop each other up through thick and thin, and they have certainly demonstrated that in recent months."

Sarah, mother to Princess Eugenie, 34, and Princess Beatrice, 35, from her previous marriage to Prince Andrew, 64, has spoken candidly about her skin cancer scare. She expressed her heightened vigilance regarding her health: "I look at every bit of skin and think, 'Ah! Is that melanoma? Is that something?'"

She also shared the frustration of fleeting concerns: "Then you book an appointment to see the dermatologist and by the time you get there it's gone." The Duchess's revelations were part of an interview where she also mentioned feeling "so proud" of King Charles, 75, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 42, for their openness about their own cancer struggles.
