Sarah, 61, has now revealed her own personal connection to the show, and hinted it could carry on for another five seasons.

She told magazine: "I adored Bridgerton so much that I watched it twice, deliberately. I’m obsessed with it.

“I think Daphne is a terrific character, as we see her learning about life. I love the way she learns to use her strong voice.

"It chimed with me because now is the time for women to speak up.

She continued: “The costumes and set designs were incredible too. The way Betsy Beers and Shonda Rhimes have created Bridgerton is fabulous, and I was really impressed.”

As for her real life connection to the show, she added: "I hear they might be making future series at Sunninghill Park for the next five years, which is my old home."

Bridgerton isn't the only Netflix series Sarah - or Fergie as she is often known - has enjoyed.

The redhead - who was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 until 1996 - also admitted to watching The Crown, which is about the British Monarchy.
