In November 2023, Sarah Ferguson guest edited and co-presented a special edition of ITV’s This Morning. In a statement at the time, she said: “I have appeared on This Morning before, but this time I am coming back in a very different role.
“I love live TV and am an enormous fan of the show, and the whole team is always lovely to deal with.”
Sarah Ferguson also said: “I’m looking forward to being there for the whole morning, and thrilled to be guest editing the show which will mean getting to explore some topics that I’m passionate about.”
Martin Frizell, the husband of Fiona Phillips and the then boss of This Morning, said: “We are all delighted Sarah, Duchess of York wanted to come back here and I’m very happy for her to make some of my decisions on Monday.
“She has a great understanding of the show and how television works and I feel viewers will be really interested in the running order she is putting together.”
It has now been reported that Sarah Ferguson will no longer appear on This Morning and Loose Women following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. A source told the Daily Mail that “Fergie won't be appearing on ITV again, there is nothing in the pipeline for her.

“There will be no more Fergie on ITV, there are no longer any current plans or anymore anytime in the future. She's done with the channel now.”
