SARAH FERGUSON - FERGUSON TO STAR IN REALITY SHOW AS FAT-FIGHTING GURU

Former British royal SARAH FERGUSON is set to star in an upcoming U.K. programme as an advisor on healthy eating habits. In the provisionally titled The Duchess In Hull, Ferguson - who married Prince Andrew in 1986 - will attempt to improve the diet of an unhealthy family living on government-assisted welfare. The 48-year-old, an ambassador for slimming organisation WeightWatchers, says, "This programme is an attempt to explore solutions to the growing obesity problem in the U.K. "I want to see whether we can help families all over the country, no matter what their budget, to improve their lifestyles through using what is already available to them in their community. "Weight issues affect all sorts of people from all walks of life. The family I met in Hull live in a way that I hadn't experienced - feeding six on a week's benefits (government allowance)." The two-part show is slated for a summer (08) broadcast.
