Sarah Ferguson's benefit living

5 months ago 13th May 14:00

The Duchess of York says she could cope with living in a council house.

Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of Britain's Prince Andrew, spent months living with a hard-up family in Hull in order to educate them on healthier living and says that she could cope surviving in the same conditions.

She told Britain's Radio Times: "I could live in a council house and below the benefit line, of course. Anyone could.

"But I wouldn't smoke and I'd make it nice inside and eat green vegetables because I was brought up on a farm."

I could live in a council house and below the benefit line, of course. Anyone could.

Sarah - a WeightWatchers ambassador for the past 12 years - says poorer families need better educating in order to tackle the obesity crisis as we are "eating ourselves to death".

The mother-of-two added: "My daughters might try fast food. If, when they were young, I had $5 left at the end of the day and they were crying, I'd probably have put fast food into them - if it was the only thing I knew.

"The problem is how do we get mothers to spend $5 on fruit and vegetables not fast food?"
