TALK OF THE TOWN: Duchess of Talk... Fergie set for trial as presenter on Loose Women

Sarah Ferguson's longheld dream of becoming a television presenter is set to become true, thanks to ITV's flagship daytime panel show Loose Women. I can reveal the Duchess of York is in talks with producers to join the team of 15 high-profile women on the rotating roster of presenters and panellists.

A source confirmed she is due to undertake a full trial week of presenting after previous successful one-off guest appearances to promote her charitable causes. Friends of the Duchess say she has been 'in love' with live TV ever since she appeared on Jay Leno's US talk show in 1996.

And a healthy salary would come in handy right now, too. Sarah, 65, currently lives at Royal Lodge in Windsor with ex-husband Prince Andrew, who. is under huge pressure from the King to relinquish the 30-room property if he cannot meet the estimated £400,000-a-year upkeep.

A lead presenter on Loose Women is paid around £3,000 per show and a panellist about £1,400. A source said: 'Sarah is finding a way to balance a potentially well-paid presenting job with her charity commitments and her main job as an author.

A source confirmed the Duchess of York is due to undertake a full trial week of presenting. 'She has been told there will be a chair with her name on it whenever she is ready to become a full-time Loose Woman.'. Sarah has also struck up a 'genuine friendship' with Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor, also a Loose Women presenter, after they bonded over shared breast cancer experiences.

Katie Piper, another of the show's hosts, told me: 'We'd be excited if she did [come back]. She was quite popular. 'The team had fun with her and she sent everyone a posh present – wellness body lotions and creams and a nice book and chocolates.'. Both ITV and Sarah's spokesman declined to comment last night.

Prince William's cousin Daisy Knatchbull has revealed her fertility problems have been cured… by an 80-year-old Peruvian shaman who made her do a naked headstand and drink a concoction of herbs. The Savile Row tailor says she developed polycystic ovary syndrome, which can mean sufferers do not have periods. And after losing faith with traditional Western medicine, she flew to the South American country for help.

'This woman firstly did what was called a chakra cleansing,' she says. Then, on a second visit, 'I had to get into a headstand… naked! She leans over me and grabs my stomach, twists it and contorts it. I was screaming in pain.'. Designer Daisy Knatchbull has revealed that her fertility issues have been cured by a blend of herbs, chakra cleansing and a naked headstand.

Then the shaman sent Daisy, 32, away with a blend of herbs to drink for eight days. But good news! The designer – whose long-term partner Giovanni Damiani, 39, is in the music business – says her symptoms have now disappeared. Bridget Jones has ditched the chardonnay in favour of… alcohol-free beer.

I hear that actress Renee Zellweger, who stars as the wine-sloshing heroine would bring in a crate of 0 per cent lagers every Friday for the cast and crew on the new film, Mad About The Boy, because drinking on set wasn't allowed. I hear Renee Zellweger, who stars as wine loving Bridget Jones (pictured), enjoyed alcohol-free lagers with the cast and crew after drinking on set was banned.

Talking of drink, I hear Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have built their own pub at their £15 million Cotswolds home. But this is not just any old boozer – I'm told the former US talk show host has taken inspiration from Lady Bamford's elegant pub, The Three Horseshoes in nearby Asthall, Oxfordshire, in style and character. I suppose a bag of pork scratchings is out of the question, then?.

After a six-year on-off relationship with Dua Lipa, celebrity chef Isaac Carew started dating Games Of Thrones actress Nell Tiger Free in 2022. But now I can reveal the pair have split. Rumours of the break-up started when neither of them posted a romantic message on Valentine's Day, as they had in previous years.

And it seems Nell, 25, has purged her Instagram of any trace of the relationship, removing loved-up snaps of herself with Isaac, 38, from her account. I can reveal that chef Isaac Carew and actress Nell Tiger Free have split up after three years together.

You might have thought a super-rich fan would have snapped up Freddie Mercury's former mansion. But a year after being put on the market by the Queen star's ex-girlfriend, Mary Austin, for £30million, Garden Lodge in Kensington, west London, remains unsold.
