Sarah Ferguson, famously known as The Duchess of York, has expressed her desire to appear on the popular British soap opera Coronation Street. She made this appeal directly to the show’s creators during a visit to Manchester, where she joined her friend and Coronation Street star Sally Dyenvor as a patron of the Prevent Breast Cancer charity.
During her visit to the iconic Coronation Street set, The Duchess had the opportunity to interact with various cast members and even tried her hand at pulling a pint in The Rovers. She shared her enthusiasm for potentially landing a cameo role on the show, expressing a particular interest in playing Sally Dyenvor’s long-lost sister.
Sally Dyenvor, who plays Sally Metcalfe on Coronation Street, revealed that she has been helping The Duchess with perfecting a northern accent in preparation for a role on the show. The two women have developed a strong bond, especially after meeting on a TV show earlier this year where they discussed their experiences with breast cancer. This shared connection led them to collaborate as patrons for the Prevent Breast Cancer charity.
Their visit to Manchester was centered around supporting the Prevent Breast Cancer charity, which aims to raise funds for the National Breast Imaging Academy. The Academy, located at Wythenshawe Hospital, seeks to train new breast imaging specialists and enhance breast services across the UK. The charity is currently fundraising to secure the final £600,000 needed for the Academy’s construction.
The Duchess emphasized the importance of supporting initiatives like the National Breast Imaging Academy and praised the efforts of Greater Manchester and the NHS in advancing breast services. Both Sarah Ferguson and Sally Dyenvor are committed to raising awareness and funds for this crucial cause, showcasing their dedication to making a positive impact in the realm of breast cancer prevention and treatment. Their collaboration serves as a testament to the power of friendship and shared values in driving meaningful change within communities.
