As the queen of QVC, Sarah Ferguson is no stranger to flogging hair straighteners and juicers for a good price, but now the Duchess is offering her best deal yet.

The Duchess of York, 56, is apparently selling her own Bentley for a seriously reduced rate.

According to The Sun, the mother-of-two is flogging the car, which originally cost £150,000, for just £33,995.

The Continental Flying Spur was a gift from Norwegian tycoon Geir Frantzen, a former owner and senior vice president of frozen food company, Findus Group UK. 

Fergie was romantically linked to the businessman back in 2008 but neither confirmed the relationship.

A friend of the Duchess told the newspaper: 'She’s always short of cash so selling a car she doesn’t use makes sense.'

The Duchess and Geir were first linked back in 2008 and she was also close with his younger brother,Torben.

Between 2006 and 2007, she was spotted with him several times in South America, and accompanied him to the Brazilian Grand Prix in October 2006.

Well-known for their business success, both Geir and Torben, along with their younger brother, Jarle, have amassed a fortune in the millions from their combined property and commercial interests.

Born in Sortland, a picturesque seaside town of 4,500 inhabitants in the polar circle in the far north of Norway, the brothers were raised in a farmhouse in middle-class comfort by their parents, Olav and Mary. 

Though their parents had no business background, all three sons went on to enter the corporate world, and by his early 20s Geir was a senior executive with Findus AB, the international frozen food brand. In 2005, he bought out the company's British arm. 

Fergie, meanwhile, has been parading her slim new figure at an array of glittering events in recent weeks.  

The ex-wife of Prince Andrew, who revealed her 3st 9lb weightloss last year, shows no signs of giving up as she continues to display her toned physique.

The Duchess of York, 56, oozed glamour and sophistication as she put in an appearance at A Night of Riviera Inspired Glamour for CLIC Sargent at swanky haunt, Sketch, in London last week.

The red-head joined the likes of Jo Wood, Tracey Emin and Yasmin Mills at the glamorous charity gala in the capital.

Fergie displayed her enviable figure in a sophisticated black dress with sheer sleeves and neckline and offset her outfit with a pair of butterfly embellished black heels she recycled from 2012.

The mother-of-two has long credited a healthy juicer with helping her shedding the pounds - and even sold it on QVC.

Speaking to the QVC host at the channel’s headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania, last year, Sarah - whose was believed to weigh 16 st at her heaviest, said: 'No longer am I the Duchess of Pork ... or fat frumpy Fergie... It broke my heart.'

Sarah promotes the juicer on her website, Duchess Discoveries. It reads: 'Discover how the Duchess lost 55 pounds by emulsifying foods with the Fusion Xcelerator.

'You can lose weight, too!'

Speaking previously about her weightloss, Sarah said she considered herself to be a food addict and had worked hard to beat that addiction. 

At the end of last year, Fergie also plugged her hair straighteners on U.S. channel QVC and boasted that they come in a 'royal purple'.

Her appearance on the show started with her sporting her 'natural' look – a frizzy hairstyle which just happens to be best sorted out with a pair of styling tongs marketed on her own website.

Prince Andrew's former wife told viewers that the product, priced at $79.92 (£52.92), helps her cope with her 'busy life' in the spotlight.

She regaled those thinking about buying the Calista Perfecter Ultra 2-in-1 Hair Styler with tales of her global travels, saying the device once helped her get ready in only 12 minutes after she had spent 30 hours travelling to Delhi. 

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for the Duchess of York and is awaiting comment.
