Emily Blunt: 'Fergie made us tea on set'

Emily Blunt has said that she had a lot of fun working with Sarah Ferguson when she played the title role in The Young Victoria.

Ferguson co-produced the film with Martin Scorsese and Graham King, with the movie exploring the formative years of the English Queen.

Blunt told Parade: "Sarah Ferguson was one of the producers. She may be the Duchess of York, but she doesn't really give you any reason to feel nervous.

"I mean, she's like, 'Call me Fergie'. She's honestly the kind of person you would want to go and have a drink with. She's really a lot of fun.

"Fergie was the one who could pull strings to get us into royal locations, so she was vital to the whole look of the film.

"But, she said, 'What the hell do I know about making films? I'll pop in and make tea now and then'. And she did. She came in and served tea."
