ITV have signed Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess Of York for her own two part fat fighting show this summer.

The show is provisionally called “The Duchess In Hull” and will see Sarah moving to Hull and helping the unhealthy Sargerson family, living on benefits improve their eating habits.

Sarah said: “This programme is an attempt to explore solutions to the growing obesity problem in the UK. I want to see whether we can help families all over the country, no matter what their budget, to improve their lifestyles through using what is already available to them in their community.

“Weight issues affect all sorts of people from all walks of life. The family I met in Hull live in a way that I hadn’t experienced – feeding six on a week’s benefits.”
