SARAH Ferguson and the Hull family Sargerson piled on the emotion on ITV.

It was fascinating to see the different classes meeting on TV, because they seldom mix in real life.

"Fergie" made it clear she had great problems with the press criticism which had shattered her self-confidence. I do hope she gives part of her TV fee to the Hull family.

I hope the Hull family have no problems with the kickback from the TV programme. What they need is a bit more than £80 a week to spend on food to ease mum's problems.

Sarah Ferguson seems to want everyone to like her. That is not a realistic option.

So she will just have to keep raking in the money by telling poor people how to live their lives.

Are all pushy people lacking in self-confidence? Would you like to share an iced bath with the Duchess of York?
