The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, revealed she was "terrified" as she began her first hosting role on ITV's This Morning.
The Duchess is co-hosting This Morning alongside Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond in a one-off on Monday (November 20).
This comes just weeks after she was a panelist on another ITV daytime show - Loose Women.
She kicked off the show with a quick clip recorded in the ITV control room where the Duchess said she had been on This Morning "many times" but never as a host and was a "huge fan" of the show.
