ITV Drops Sarah Ferguson Over Epstein Ties

ITV has dropped Sarah Ferguson, 66, from daytime shows This Morning and Loose Women amid renewed scrutiny over her and ex-husband Prince Andrew’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move followed the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir and the circulation of leaked emails and resurfaced messages in which Ferguson appeared to apologise to or praise Epstein after previously distancing herself, prompting charities and patrons to cut ties. Insiders say there are no plans for her to return to ITV, and several Loose Women panellists have publicly condemned her actions. The controversy has reignited criticism of both Ferguson and Prince Andrew — who has relinquished royal titles and faced eviction threats — and reopened scrutiny of Ferguson’s earlier controversies, including a 2010 News of the World sting.
