Sarah ‘Fergie’ Ferguson has been slammed for her comments around her ex-husband’s association with disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duchess of York branded the entire saga as “nonsense” and that her ex has gone through “enormous pain” in a new interview with Vogue Arabia.

Panellist Dawn Neesom has labelled Fergie’s comments as “appalling” during an appearance on Jeremy Vine on 5.
Neesom said: “She suggests we should dismiss this as nothing.
“I think that’s appalling, that was the most annoying of this rather than the Meghan thing.”
Neesom’s comments were backed by other commentators, including, royal expert, Dan Wootton: “It’s an extraordinary interview because you have the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and she does not acknowledge them.
“But she acknowledges the terrible time Prince Andrew has had.”
In the interview, Sarah also says the past few months have been “incredibly difficult”.
“When I talk about Prince Andrew, I talk about family because the last six months have been hard on the girls and me.
“To see such a wonderful man go through such enormous pain. He is the best man I know.
“It’s just incredible what he has done for Britain, and it’s all nonsense, so I talk about familyhood, and I’m very strong about it. The mental health of men is important and I think it is vital to articulate that more.”
