Sarah Ferguson tells ‘new best friend’ Sally Dynevor, who’s daughter Phoebe plays Daphne in Bridgerton, that she is ‘game on’ for a cameo in Netflix hit

Sarah Ferguson has revealed she’d love to star in Bridgerton.

The Duchess of York, 64, joined star Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor, whose daughter Phoebe plays Daphne in the Netflix hit, that she was keen to star in the period drama.

Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine this morning, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, revealed she’d already told the show’s creator Shonda Rhimes, she wants a cameo.

Host Lorraine suggested Sarah should make an appearance on Coronation Street after she visited the cobbles and was spotted pulling pints behind the bar on the set.

But the mother-of-two claimed she had her heart set on appearing on Bridgerton instead.

She said: ‘I am game on for Bridgerton. I have told Shonda Rhimes, I said Shonda “I am coming in”.

Lorraine added: ‘Well Sally knows somebody, who might know somebody.’ Sally added: ‘I might know somebody, who might know somebody.’

Sarah then quipped: ‘Oh sorry, I nearly forgot, sorry’.

Hollywood star Phoebe Dynevor played the diamond of the first season, Daphne Bridgerton.

Sally and Sarah have been friends ever since meeting on the set of Loose Women earlier this year. 

Calling themselves ‘NBF’s new best friends’, the pair have now joined forces for an important cause. 

Both are serving as patrons of the charity Prevent Breast Cancer, which holds an especially poignant meaning for both Sarah and Sally.

In 2023 Ferguson discovered she had breast cancer after a routine mammogram and recently underwent successful treatment and Sally, who plays Sally Metcalfe on the ITV soap was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 at the age of 46. 

The pair explained that alongside the charity they are raising funds to build a new centre to train radiologists, 50 will be trained a year which will mean more women get screened for breast cancer.

The duo urged people to donate on BigGive.org today and your donation will be doubled. 

The charity is hoping to raise £300,000 which will enable them to carry on with the build of the radiology center. 

Sarah said: ‘I went to Manchester to see it and it is so great for young people to learn how to become a mammographer, or a radiographer or imagining it’s a career move. 

‘It all over the NHS, so it’s not just Manchester, the academy will teach these people, and what an opportunity to be able to save lives.’

Speaking about visiting Coronation Street set Sarah said she was embarrassed when she forgot it was just a set.

She said: ‘I walked down the cobbles, I was so embarrassing, I was just so excited, I went to the door of the rovers and I thought I’m going in and they explained no that’s just the set.’

It’s not the first time Sarah revealed she was desperate to land a role on Bridgerton.

In June, she revealed she turned down I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ‘hundreds of times’ but is up for Bridgerton.

She made the comments during an 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!

The royal also pitched herself to Coronation Street executives, perhaps getting one step closer to reigniting her television star era.
