Summary
- Jane Andrews, former dresser to Sarah Ferguson, murdered her boyfriend.
- A new TV drama explores the life of Andrews, dubbed 'Lady Jane'.
- Andrews was released from prison in 2015 after serving 14 years.

Jane Andrews, formerly known as Jane Lamb, once served as Sarah Ferguson's personal dresser and confidante for nine years, earning the nickname 'Lady Jane'. Her life took a drastic turn in September 2000 when she murdered her boyfriend, Thomas Cressman, at his London flat.
Andrews battered and stabbed Cressman after he refused to marry her. A national manhunt ensued, leading to her arrest after an overdose attempt. She was convicted of murder and dubbed the 'Fatal Attraction killer,' serving a minimum of 15 years.
Released in 2015, Andrews purchased property with profits from her London flat. However, she was recalled to prison in 2018 for alleged harassment, though no further action was taken. She was freed again in 2019.
A four-part drama titled 'The Lady' on ITV is set to depict Andrews's life, with Mia McKenna-Bruce playing her and Natalie Dormer portraying Sarah Ferguson. This portrayal, described as 'partly fictionalised,' is ongoing.
