Television

Weeks after being offered millions to star in a porn film, Pippa Middleton is now being courted by the two queens of US daytime TV – Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters.

The stunning younger sister of the newly-titled Duchess of Cambridge was offered $5m (€3.4m) by porn baron Steven Hirsch for “just one explicit scene” and her “choice of partners” in a letter dated May 6, however we reckon the latest rumours of screen work may be more to her liking.

According to the always-legitimate National Enquirer, The View co-host (imagine Loose Women but with nattering US harpies instead) Barbara Walters sees Pippa as a “fantastic fit”.

“She thinks Pippa's so sassy, young and gorgeous… Ratings would be fantastic!” the source added.

If Pippa is looking for a career in showbiz, she’ll be delighted to hear that the queen of US TV, Oprah Winfrey, is seeking out the royal too for her Oprah Winfrey Network channel.

"[Winfrey] wants Pippa to host her own show for her OWN network," an insider told the Enquirer. "O knows it would be a great ratings coup because Pippa's a star on fire - and Americans are so obsessed with the royals."

Despite the increasing interest in the 27-year-old since her maid of honour appearence last month’s Royal Wedding, it is thought that Pippa will instead join the Middleton family’s mail-order Party Pieces business. A real shame – especially since that $5m porn offer sounds pretty reasonable.
