Sarah Ferguson has been the latest star linked to this year’s Celebrity Big brother series.

The Duchess Of York is rumoured to be considering a stint on the reality TV show, in a bid to pull her out of her current financial crisis.

The former Princess – who was married to Prince Andrew, Duke of York from 1986 to 1996 – was exposed by The News of the World last year, as having been accepting large sums of money in exchange for an introduction to her former husband, the United Kingdom’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment at the time.

“They are offering big appearance fees this year to try and draft in some massive names,” a source told the Metro.

Fergie isn’t adverse to the odd TV appearance.

Over the years she has showed up on Loose Women, Friends, The Vicar Of Dibley, and the US Celebrity Apprentice.

Also rumoured to have signed up for the Channel 5 series – which starts on Wednesday 17th August – is Kerry Katona and her mum, Steve Strange and X Factor stars Jedward.
