Former royal butler Paul Burrell has reportedly been hired by Fox News to help present its coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.

The Sunday Mirror says that the ex-I'm A Celebrity star will provide expert commentary and conduct live interviews with members of the public.

Burrell is quoted as saying: "I'm absolutely delighted for William and Kate. I wish them every happiness in the world.

"William is an amazing boy... now we will see the Princess's legacy truly unfolding."

The 52-year-old was a personal footman to Queen Elizabeth II and also worked as Princess Diana's butler until her death in 1997.

He now runs his family's flower shop in Cheshire.
