Fergie puts O'Reilly in the big picture

Britain's Duchess of York featured prominently in last week's British Sunday newspapers. In one there was a story about her visiting Tony O'Reilly in his home and in two more there was a suggestion that she was to don a swimsuit and be hosed down with jets of water. No connection of course. It transpires that the Duchess has in fact turned down an invitation to help launch an exclusive health club by posing in a swimsuit while being hosed down with water. It was also reported, as an entirely separate matter, that she visited the good doctor at his home in Pittsburgh. The Heinz chief is, after all, her boss - she is under contract to promote the company's Weight-Watchers brand. According to our sources, she even presented him with a photograph of the Irish rugby team that beat England in 1961, featuring, yes you've guessed it, Tony O'Reilly.
