Sarah Ferguson has been gripped to the Wimbledon championships just like the rest of us, and the mother-of-two has since sent a lovely message of support to Johanna Konta following her quarter-final defeat on Tuesday. Making sure the tennis star knew that everyone was behind her, Sarah shared a series of pictures of Johanna in action on the court, and wrote: "Congratulations @johannakonta keep fighting! You have done the UK proud." Many of Sarah's followers were quick to add to her comment, with one writing: "She definitely has, without question!" while another added: "She has! She's done amazingly. Onwards and upwards."

On Twitter, she wrote: "Just cried four times during Toy Story 4, one of them before the film even started, during the trailers." Johanna also shared a photo of herself in her living room resting on the sofa with her pet dog.

She added: "We live together and we are fully committed to our dog together, so we've already got a few commitments at the moment."
