Meghan Markle branded ‘manipulative’ as Sharon Osbourne, Fern Britton and Louis Walsh slam ‘bad actress’

More explosive opinions have been shared in the Celebrity Big Brother house – with Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Fern Britton now laying into Meghan Markle in a blistering discussion.

Celebrity Big Brother housemates Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Fern Britton have branded Meghan Markle ‘manipulative’ in yet another scandalous celeb slagging session. The trio were contestants on the ITV reality show – with Sharon, 71, leaving the famous house on Tuesday night. Wednesday’s episode shared footage from before Sharon’s exit and she was shown in the kitchen chatting with 71-year-old Louis and 66-year-old Fern.

As they sat around the kitchen, Louis began discussing the royal family when the topic of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 42, and her husband Prince Harry, 39, was raised – and some scathing opinions were shared. Fern broke cover by branding Meghan “manipulative” – with Louis agreeing and Sharon giving strong opinions of her own.

Louis kicked off the conversation saying he wants to know how 42-year-old Catherine, Princess of Wales is, after reports emerged that she had surgery in January and she has been rarely seen in public since. He then boasted about meeting her, saying: “[I met Kate] at Chelsea Flower Show. And I asked her if she called her son after me.” Fern laughed: “After you? Of course, Prince Louis.”

Fern then asked: “Did she say, ‘Yes, I did?’” And Louis replied: “No, no. She was charming. She is a beautiful, beautiful girl. Just beautiful.” Conversation then veered towards Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Louis said: “Talking about Kate Middleton.” Fern said: “What big shoes to set into. With Diana.” Louis said: “I know. I know. Who would want it?” Fern continued: “And wearing the iconic engagement ring.”

Sharon then said: “Can you imagine if that had gone to Meghan? Oh my god.” Louis then said: “Does anybody like that girl? Does anybody like her? Apart from Harry? Does anybody else like her?” Fern began being diplomatic, saying: “She’s mysterious. I would love… I want to be able to believe what I see, that pretty face, and a mother and loving her husband, but there’s also, perhaps, I feel, that manipulation behind all of that.”
Louis agreed, saying: “I know, Sharon, you feel that, don’t you?” Sharon confirmed: “Very much so. Ver much so. I think it’s all put on. I think she’s acting the whole time.” Louis then bitched: “She’s a bad actress, yeah.”

Fern then said: “I just want Harry and the children to be happy. I want Harry to come home.” Louis was in disbelief over this comment but Fern defended her opinion saying she wants Harry to “Make it up with William, be back in the fold, and do what he’s good at.” Sharon agreed, but Louis asked: “What’s he good at?”
