A good rule of thumb when working for Oprah Winfrey: Don't bore the boss!
Sarah Ferguson, star of an upcoming reality show for Winfrey's new OWN network, is reportedly being asked to go back and shoot more compelling footage before 'Finding Sarah' debuts. Scheduled to air this spring, the series is allegedly being postponed, according to RadarOnline.
"Oprah isn't happy with the show...She found it boring...and has ordered reshoots to make it harder hitting, and more revealing," an insider tells the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
A spokesperson for OWN confirmed the delay: "As of now, we're anticipating that it will premiere in the summer."
So how did the duchess, one of the most scandalous rule-breakers among contemporary British royals, lose her edge on her way to launching a comeback, via an Oprah-blessed series? In theory, watching Ferguson rehab her life seems like a winner of a premise -- especially considering that her most famous on-camera 'scene' in recent memory was last year's undercover sting in which she was caught trying to sell access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, in exchange for more than half a million dollars.
Instead, the OWN show has apparently underwhelmed Ferguson's new boss, so far. "Oprah is very hands-on, and is over-seeing 'Finding Sarah' personally," says the Mail's source. "She wants the series to be the very best it can be. Sarah had also said the cameras would have access to members of her family, including her daughters, but we are finding it hard to get them to be part of it."
The Duchess, when announcing her involvement in 'Finding Sarah,' said in a September press release, "I'm doing this because I need to heal my mind, body and spirit....After 22 years of raising my two amazing daughters, it's time for me to mother myself. My hope is that sharing my journey will help someone else."
