BREAKING: Sarah Ferguson set to face NEW ROYAL DRAMA – and it’s got nothing to do with Epstein

Sarah Ferguson is set to face a fresh headache this year, even after her latest ordeal regarding her links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Sarah, Duchess of York has dominated news headlines around the world this week following the disclosure of an email she sent to the paedophile financier in which she described him as a “supreme friend”.

Amid the backlash, several charities severed ties with Fergie, as she is affectionately known, after it emerged that she had apologised to the s3x offender in April 2011 after publicly disowning him in an interview. Now, the Duchess is bracing for a fresh royal drama to drop as a new TV series focusing on the life of her former aide, who k!lled her partner, will be released.

Royal dresser Jane Andrews was convicted of murdering her boyfriend 25 years ago.

She worked for the Duchess for nine years, from 1988 until 1997. Three years later, she beat her wealthy boyfriend, Tom Cressman, with a cricket bat in his sleep before stabbing him with a kitchen knife at their flat in Fulham, London.

In 2001, she went to trial at the Old Bailey, where she was convicted of murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

Ms Andrews spent 14 years in prison before being released on licence in 2015, but she was recalled back in 2018 after claims were made against her for harassing a married man, with police who investigated the case taking no action after finding no evidence. She was re-released in 2019.

ITV’s new crime drama will follow the rise and fall of the Cleethorpes-born royal dresser whose dream life came crashing down when she was convicted of murder.

The series, which was written by Humans and Call the Midwife writer Debbie O’Malley, is set to explore the events in Andrews’ life that led up to her committing murder.

It will show her humble beginnings and will follow the character’s extraordinary ascent into the upper echelons of British society as the Duchess’s trusted dresser.

The Lady boasts an all-star cast, with BAFTA Rising Star winner Mia McKenna-Bruce taking on the lead role as Jane Andrews. Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer transforms into Sarah, Duchess of York, while Outlander’s Ed Speleers steps into the role of Thomas Cressman.

The drama also features Philip Glenister, Claire Skinner, Laura Aikman, Ophelia Lovibond, Mark Stanley, Daniel Ryan, and Sean Teale. It will air on ITV1 and STV in the UK and be available to stream on ITVX and STV Player.

Ms Andrews, now 58, appears to have found a new, quieter life with a new job as she is reportedly working at a charity-funded animal hospital.
