GB News contributor and TV presenter Cristo Foufas reacts to new details revealing Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffrey Epstein twice during his prison sentence. “What is she thinking? What in God’s name is she thinking staying in touch with Jeffrey Epstein, going and trying to have these meetings with him,” Mr Foufas told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “I increasingly think that Fergie is really at the bottom of the gene pool when it comes to the brains that have been handed out among that family. “She is going to be as out in the cold as her ex-husband, and I think quite right too.”
