Sarah Ferguson revealed she has turned down I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ‘hundreds of times’ but is desperate to land a role on Bridgerton.

The Duchess of York , 64, made the comments during a recent interview with Platinum Magazine where she also posed up a storm for the front cover.

The mother-of-two revealed she has been in talks with her agent to get her on Netflix romance drama, however I’m a Celeb is definitely not for her.

‘I’ve asked my agent to get me on Bridgerton! The set designs are incredible! I could be a long-lost friend for Penelope. I just have to be on Bridgerton!’ she told Platinum Magazine, which goes on sale today.

‘I’ve been asked to go on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Hundreds of times, and the answer is always no. I’m sure it’s lovely for lots of people but not for me!

Sarah Ferguson revealed she has turned down I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ‘hundreds of times’ but is desperate to land a role on Bridgerton in an interview with Platinum Magazine

If the Duchess were to change her mind she would be the second royal to enter the celebrity jungle – after Princess Anne’s son-in-law Mike Tindall competed in the 2022 series.

Elsewhere Sarah insisted she could not have wished for more love or care from her family after being diagnosed with skin cancer this year after facing breast cancer last summer.

She said: ‘The whole York family has rallied round and I couldn’t have got through it without them.

‘My girls in particular have been rock solid in their support. We always call ourselves “the tripod” as we are there to prop each other up through thick and thin, and they have certainly demonstrated that in recent months.’

Speaking about her current health she revealed she is being over cautious with any skin differences she is noticing.

She said: ‘I look at every bit of skin and think, ”Ah! Is that melanoma? Is that something?”. Then you book an appointment to see the dermatologist and by the time you get there, it’s gone.

‘My father and my best friend Carolyn [Cotterill] died of melanoma. When I got the call on December 31 at 4pm from the dermatologist saying I was needed at the Royal Marsden on Tuesday morning at 8am, it was a long weekend – but I’ve been very lucky because it hadn’t gone into the lymph glands’.

Elsewhere Sarah opened up about her childhood, revealing she had a sense of not ‘belonging’ because of her red hair.

Sarah revealed she is ‘so proud’ of ‘brave’ King Charles and Kate Middleton for opening up about their cancer diagnosis on Good Morning Britain alongside Susanna Reid and Martin Lewis earlier this month

She said: ‘I said to my girls today, “Does it take having cancer to stop the self-hatred, self-doubts and the mental anguish?”.

‘I was born in 1959 with this bath-hat of red curls. And in those days, there was no sun cream, hence melanoma now.

‘I used to sit in the pram and Mum was dark, looking very Spanish. I remember everyone saying, “Where’s she come from? Look at her red hair and blue eyes”, and Mum saying, “The postman” Well, imagine what I must have thought, that ‘”Oh, I don’t belong”.

It comes after Sarah revealed she is ‘so proud’ of ‘brave’ King Charles and Kate Middleton for opening up about their own cancer diagnosis.

She said they ‘all need to rally together’, as she appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside Susanna Reid and Martin Lewis earlier this month.

She said: ‘I am so so proud of the King on becoming the royal patron of Cancer Research UK, getting out there and talking to all these people, he gives everyone that wonderful feeling that they are being listened to, I thought it was very brave of him to do that.

‘The lovely Princess Catherine doing the video was so brave, family unity is an extraordinary thing and I am honestly so proud and I am sending them lots of love and lots of support, we all need to rally together.’

Elsewhere Sarah, who lives in Royal Lodge with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, revealed she doesn’t get ‘involved in brothers’ discussions’ – amidst reports King Charles had ‘threatened to sever all ties’ with Andrew unless he leaves the Royal Lodge for his new home in Frogmore Cottage.

The mother-of-two said: ‘It’s not a debby downer, it’s just life in the fast lane. I am a guest for a starter. I am a very lucky guest and a very comfortable guest, thank you very much. But I tend not to get involved in brothers’ discussions and I think that’s the best, most safe place to be, is to let the brothers discuss it between themselves.’

The disgraced Prince Andrew, who no longer has official royal duties after being forced to quit over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, has allegedly been told to move out of the 30-room, £30 million mansion which he shares with Fergie.

Meanwhile Sarah, who is affectionately known as Fergie, revealed her new book A Woman of Intrigue is ‘saucy and sexy’ likening it to Bridgerton- which she says she would love to have a cameo in.

Asked about her ‘frisky’ new novel, Sarah said: ‘Lady Mary is very into her underwear, saucy, sexy, sassy and silky underwear. The great thing about this is it’s like Bridgerton.

‘I want to be on Bridgerton. I think Lady Penelope should have a friend with red hair like me. I am putting it out there.’

Responding to Susanna asking about her own cancer diagnosis she said she has found her ‘new normal’.

She said: ‘All these years I’ve been thinking, ‘Am I good enough? Am I this, am I that? Do I get my finances right? Do I do this?’. And actually suddenly now with a mastectomy and then with malignant melanoma, every single day, it’s not a wake up call, it’s now a new normal.

‘You can never say you’re cancer free, but you can say that I’m doing well, Susanna, and I’m very lucky, but I really am determined.

‘Honestly 1.2 mammograms are not being picked up. The people are not going for their mammograms, they’re not being tested. They need to be tested, they can be tested and don’t be frightened.’

Susanna then revealed how she has had a mammogram after hearing the Duchess of York’s message: ‘I had been avoiding it because I was worried and it wasn’t the painful experience that I had in my head that it was – so thank-you. [It was] All clear, thank goodness.’
