Sarah Ferguson Signs Up for Dancing With the Stars  12/11/06

Former British royal Sarah Ferguson has been offered the chance to appear on Dancing With the Stars, after publicly announcing her desire to star on the US talent show.

The Duchess of York spends a lot of time in the United States and has become an avid fan of the ABC show, which is inspired by the original BBC program Strictly Come Dancing.

Dancing With The Stars producer Conrad Green says, "Fergie will add a touch of class to the proceedings and the fans will be waiting to see if she falls for her dance partner. Everyone loves a royal romance and her presence will bring dazzling ratings.

"We like having a mixture and we've not had a duchess."
