Oprah offers debt-ridden Fergie her very own TV show | Mail Online
Oprah Winfrey, the ‘queen’ of American TV, has offered the cash-strapped Duchess of York her own prime-time chat show.
Billionaire Oprah, 56, is launching her own cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network, next January, and last week called the scandal-hit Duchess to offer her a deal.
A source close to Sarah Ferguson said last night: ‘Oprah made the call this week. They spoke in person and, for Sarah, the offer is a ray of light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
... but she won’t get a penny from Andrew
By Katie Nicholl
The Duchess of York has been told she will not receive a penny from her ex-husband Prince Andrew, even though she is said to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Andrew, who earlier this month had vowed to help the Duchess out of debt, will not be offering any financial assistance.
Sources close to the Prince say that while he is happy to advise Sarah Ferguson on how to get out of her dire financial situation, he will not be offering her a cash payout.
I think there was talk of Sarah being in discussions with Oprah's team even before the "cash for access saga".
It was denied then, but maybe things have changed.
I don't believe for a second that any "close friend" of Sarah's spoke about Andrew in that kind of tone. Truth be told, I'm sure they have nothing but great praise for him.
I'm sure Sarah would appreciate Andrew's friendship and emotional support now, and if he can help her cut costs and give advice, GREAT, but i doubt she would expect or ask him to pay any bill for her.
The very same newspaper reported recently that Andrew was joining her and the girls in spain next month, that wouldn't be happening if they had fallen out badly over this.
I wish the DM would make up their minds.
