Sarah Ferguson slammed in scathing rant by Loose Women star following Epstein email

Sarah Ferguson has been slammed by a Loose Women panellist following her shocking email to Jeffrey Epstein. Jane Moore said the Duchess "betrayed Epstein's many victims" with her "shameless grovelling" to the convicted paedophile in a scathing rant.

It comes after leaked emails from the Duchess of York showed her calling Epstein a "steadfast, generous and supreme friend", just weeks after she told reporters she would "never have anything to do with" the sex offender again in 2011. Loose Women panellist and journalist, Jane Moore, furiously penned: "The deadly cocktail of her naivety and fondness for the high life has always made her something of a loose cannon."

Writing for The Sun, she added: "And this shameless grovelling to a deeply nasty man isn't a forgivable human frailty; it shows craven greed and rampant self-preservation that, worst of all, betrays Epstein's many victims."

The journalist questioned how many sleepless nights Ms Ferguson would have had following Peter Mandelson's shameful exit from Parliament due to his relationship with Epstein.

She questioned: "Or is she just so naive that, like so much of her off-colour behaviour in the past, she thinks it can be glossed over and eventually forgiven?"

The panellist, who has met Fergie many times, said it was fair to say the duchess has been "well and truly cancelled".

This week, seven charities dropped Ms Ferguson as patron after the emails came to light, including Julia's House, Prevent Breast Cancer and The Teenage Cancer Trust.

Janet Street-Porter also slammed the Duchess' behaviour on the ITV daytime show, calling her a "babbler" who "doesn't seem to listen to people giving her good advice".

"That's one of the reasons why Prince Philip wanted nothing to do with her, he wanted her removed from the royal family," she claimed.

A spokesperson for the duchess previously said she had sent the email only in an attempt to "assuage Epstein and his threats", claiming he had threatened to sue her for defamation for her comments in the media.
