So impressed were ITV with Sarah Ferguson’s recent TV show, The Duchess in Hull, that they are offering her £150,000 for another series.

Almost five million of us tuned in to watch the Duchess try to change the lives of the Sargeson family this week, and ITV are keen to cash in on that level of interest in the ex-Royal by sending her out to find more people in need.

An ITV source told The Sun: “Fergie really impressed us. She has already said she is on a crusade to get the country eating healthily and it makes sense to team up again.

“We are discussing ideas now, but any project would be along the same lines of The Duchess In Hull, where Fergie would go and sort out another family, or tackle another social problem.”

I have to say, I watched The Duchess In Hull tonight with a large dose of scepticism, and expected to see a pompous royal preaching to the ‘lower classes’.

But after watching the show I have to hold my hands up and admit that Sarah Ferguson came across really well. In fact I wouldn’t mind her as my mum!

The show centres on Sarah moving to Hull and helping the unhealthy Sargerson family, to live on benefits and improve their eating habits.

Sarah was down to earth, not overly pushy, and most of all warm. She didn’t tell the mum of the family that she was killing her children with turkey burgers and meat pies, but instead tried to understand how hard it is to feed a family of six on £80 per week. She spoke individually to all the family members, and on camera at least, didn’t appear the least bit condescending or haughty.

I am quite looking forward to the second part of this show, and seeing what changes the Duchess implements. I wouldn’t mind trying some of her homemade coleslaw either. It looked delicious!

A reality TV show featuring Sarah Ferguson has been put in jeoprady after one of the main stars of the show was arrested over the drug death of a friend.

The show was provisionally called “The Duchess In Hull” and was to see Sarah moving to Hull and helping the unhealthy Sargerson family, living on benefits improve their eating habits.

But this Saturday police arrested Terri Sargerson, 24, after the death of an 18-year-old man at her council flat in Hull.

A Humberside Police source said: “Initially Terri was arrested on suspicion of murder. But the death is now thought to have been caused by a drugs overdose.”

ITV chiefs are expected to hold a crisis meeting today about the reality TV show’s future. A source said: “It is inconceivable the documentary can be shown at this stage.”

A spokeswoman for the Duchess told The Sun: “She has been alerted and has asked to be kept informed.”
