Sarah Ferguson ‘paid six-figure sum for tell-all reveal in the US’

Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been offered a six-figure offer from US television networks to ‘expose all’ about Jeffrey Epstein.

Rumours have been swirling this week that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ex-wife received TV proposals and book deals to reveal all about the disgraced financier and convicted paedophile Epstein.

Ferguson, 66, has been keeping a low profile since the largest publication of the Epstein files at the end of last year, which revealed she had a closer relationship with the sex offender than previously thought.

Emails showed that Ferguson, known as Fergie, went for lunch with Epstein and her daughter days after he came out of prison for soliciting prostitution with a minor.

In another message, also sent after Epstein’s conviction in 2008, the former Duchess of York thanked him for being ‘the brother I have always wished for’.

She said: ‘I have never been more touched by a friends kindness than your compliment to me infront of my girls.

‘Thank you Jeffrey for being the brother I have always wished for.’

While the emails made headlines, Fergie reportedly checked into an exclusive wellness retreat the Paracelsus Recovery centre in Zurich, Switzerland, last December when the files were released.

The Paracelsus clinic charges approximately £13,000 a day and offers a range of treatments as well as access to a chef and chauffeur.

She has not been seen or photographed in public since her granddaughter’s christening on December 12 at St James’s Palace. But it’s been rumoured this week that she could have agreed to a tell-all television interview in the US.

The Sun reported that sources in the palace were concerned that she had accepted an interview offer and would reveal everything in an interview.

The newspaper said her team received ‘significant’ bids from US channels and there were conversations with television networks in the UK and Gulf states as well.

A source told The Sun: ‘Sarah and her team have had offers from all over the world for a sit-down.

‘So she’s thinking things over very carefully.

‘She and her team know a televised interview would be make or break for her in terms of salvaging her reputation.

‘It would also give her the chance to spell out the fact she knew nothing about what Epstein and his associates were doing in terms of abusing girls.’

The BBC asked book publisher Harper Collins, who have released titles on Ferguson in the past, whether they were discussing publishing her memoir. The publisher declined to comment.

Metro has contacted a representative and legal team for the former duchess for comment.
