Duchess of York in talks to be guest presenter on This Morning
Sarah Ferguson could be in line for a role presenting ITV's This Morning, it was revealed yesterday.
The Duchess of York is in talks for a guest slot on the show after previously impressing network bosses when she joined the Loose Women panel to discuss her breast cancer ordeal.
She was also on This Morning in March, and then-presenter Holly Willoughby asked if she would like to return to the show with a “love phone-in”.
Sarah said at the time: “Holly, I would love to do that, maybe when you’re back from your annual leave and the Easter holidays. But there’s no question, that is right on topic. We love to love.”
The talks come just weeks after Holly announced her departure in order to focus on her family. Her full-time replacement has not yet been revealed.
Hosting duties are currently being shared among regular presenters such as Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson.
A TV source said: “The Duchess was a real hit with ITV bosses on Loose Women, everyone thought she was a natural.

“There is an open invitation for her to return to Loose Women and there is also talk of her doing a guest slot on This Morning, or a mini-series for them.
“She has done quite a lot of TV work before. At one point she stood in for Larry King in the US.”
The Duchess of York has been approached for comment.
