The Duchess of Sussex has shared an adorable video clip of her three-year-old daughter Lilibet playing with her ‘auntie’. It comes just days before the release of Meghan’s new Netflix series With Love, Meghan

Meghan Markle has shared a rare glimpse of her daughter Lilibet playing with one of her celebrity pals, just days before the release of her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.

The eight-part series is set to hit our screens next week on March 4, which will see “friends and famous guests” join the Duchess of Sussex as she shares everything from her cooking, gardening and hosting tips. While the series had been set to air earlier this year, the show was postponed due to the devastating wildfires that spread across California in January.

In the latest countdown ahead of the show’s release, doting mum Meghan, 43, shared a series of clips and videos of Lilibet, three, playing with tennis legend Serena Williams, whom she described as ‘auntie’. In one adorable video, Serena could be seen cheering on Lilibet as they played a personalised game of Candy Land together.

The clip, which was shared on the Duchess of Sussex’s Instagram Story to the backdrop of Bill Withers’ Lovely Day, also included the caption: “When the aunties come to celebrate… and to play! Love you @serenawilliams.”

As well as sharing the wholesome video, Meghan shared another snap of herself, Lilibet and Serena as they enjoyed the game. In the photo, the mum-of-two, dressed in a blue pinstripe matching set, leaned over Lilibet as they took turns to play.

Meanwhile, Serena, who opted for a pink co-ord, sat on a fabric footstool beside the pair. “Three days until the party begins. All are invited @netflix,” Meghan wrote as she excitedly counted down the days to the show’s release.

In response to the sweet upload, fans took to X to gush over the posts. “MEGHAN LILI AND AUNTIE SERENA Lilibet is already growing up surrounded by strong inspirational women,” wrote one. “These photos of Meghan with Princess Lilibet and Serena Williams are so heartwarming ! Meghan is surrounded by so much love, it’s beyond wonderful. She is thriving,” another added.

“Awwww, Auntie Serena with Princess Lili. I love this new era of joy for Harry, Meghan & their children,” a third wrote. A fourth commented: “Lili, Mama Meghan and Auntie Serena omg my heart the cuteness #WithLoveMeghan.”

While Meghan and Serena met in 2010 while at a Super Bowl party, it wasn’t until 2014 that their close friendship blossomed. In 2014, Meghan opened up about her friendship with Serena in a post on her former blog The Tig.

“We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff,” she wrote, reports Stylist.

The former Suits star also gave further details on their bond, adding: “We are both the same age, have a penchant for hot sauces and adore fashion, but what connects us more than those things is perhaps our belief in exceeding expectations – our endless ambition.”

Over the years, the pair have publicly shown their support for one another. Back in 2017, Meghan gushed over her pal following the news that Serena was expecting her first child with husband Alexis Ohanian.

“She will be an amazing mum. The very best, because she is so attuned to balancing strength and sensitivity. Plus, given that she is pretty epic at karaoke, I think she’ll put her signature Serena spin on singing lullabies for the baby. I can’t wait for that!,” she told Vogue.

Serena too has reciprocated this support for Meghan. When news broke that Meghan was in a relationship with Prince Harry, the Wimbledon winner gave her some advice when it came to managing the increased attention. “I told her, ‘You’ve got to be who you are, Meghan. You can’t hide,’” she told Vanity Fair in 2017.

The sporting icon was also among the A-list guests at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in 2018 and in 2022 she was the first guest on Meghan’s podcast Archetypes.

The Duke of York faces the prospect of new revelations emerging about his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein when a legal battle involving a former Barclays Bank boss is heard in the High Court

Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein may once again be thrown into the spotlight in a legal case.

The Duke of York was mentioned in High Court papers in a case involving former Barclays Bank boss Jes Staley who is appealing a ruling which bars him from holding senior UK financial roles over his links to Epstein.

Mr Staley was found by the Financial Conduct Authority to have given a misleading account of the nature of his relationship with Epstein and he denies doing so. His appeal will take place tomorrow in the Upper Tax Tribunal.

The FCA said that features of the relationship between Epstein and Mr Staley showed they were “close”, and that emails sent between the pair were “inconsistent with a business relationship”. These included Epstein making “numerous introductions and recommendations for Mr Staley”, including with a royal family member, believed to be Prince Andrew.

In 2023, Mr Staley was fined £1.8 million and banned from holding senior roles in the financial sector by the FCA after it found he misled the watchdog over his friendship with Epstein.

The appeal is set to include details about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein who died in prison while he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges in 2019. Andrew has strenuously denied wrongdoing

The extent of Andrew’s friendship with Epstein was also laid bare in hundreds of pages of unsealed court documents for proceedings in the US, with Andrew paying millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein whom he claimed never to have met.

Court documents from the FCA in the case involving Mr Staley showed that a “royal family member”, believed to be Andrew, was in email contact with Epstein as late as February 2011. The royal told Epstein to “keep in close touch” in an email, with the claim coming amid all the scrutiny placed on Epstein’s relationship with the Duke of York.

Andrew previously told the BBC that he broke off his friendship with the sex offender in December 2010. In an interview with BBC’s Newsnight, Andrew told Emily Maitlis: “I ceased contact with him (Epstein) after I was aware that he was under investigation and that was later in 2006 and I wasn’t in touch with him again until 2010.” He later said that in December 2010: “I had to show leadership and I had to go and see him and I had to tell him, ‘That’s it’.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, rose to fame during her tenure as an actress on the hit legal drama Suits, but before she became a household name, she had little known roles in quite a few films

Meghan Markle might now be one of the most famous women on the planet, but for a long time, she was a little-known actress working hard to build her professional reputation.

The Duchess of Sussex hit the acting big time with the role of Rachel Zane on the hit legal drama Suits, which saw her enter into a new level of celebrity – but all of this would pale in comparison to how well-known she would become after marrying Prince Harry.

When Meghan officially joined the Royal Family back in 2018, her fairytale wedding was watched by millions of people across the globe – but when she and Prince Harry made a surprise announcement that they were going to leave life as working royals behind, sending shockwaves across the UK and beyond, she was catapulted into an even higher level of notoriety.

But long before she reached the dizzying heights of fame she now occupies, with a bright spotlight constantly trained upon her, Meghan was simply another aspiring actress, making a name for herself with a myriad of smaller roles.

Many of which saw her perform in films that you may no have had no idea featured the Duchess of Sussex – the Mirror takes a look back at 11 films that she starred in over the years during her acting career.

Horrible Bosses

In 2011, Meghan had the opportunity to star in one of the highest-profile comedy films of that year – Horrible Bosses. The comic movie starring big names like Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman was such a success it spawned two sequels.

Meghan’s role in the first film in the franchise was a pretty small cameo, but it’s by far one of the highest-profile movies she starred in over the years. She played Jamie, a FedEx delivery person in the movie, who Jason Sudeikis’ character – Kurt – interacts with briefly in one scene.

When Sparks Fly

This movie saw Meghan take on a leading role, and if you love a cheesy romance and the Duchess of Sussex – you will want to check this one out.

Meghan played Amy Peterson, a journalist living in a big city who returns to her hometown to write a story about the Fourth of July, Independence Day in the US, and her parents who run a firework company, but whilst she is there find out that her best friend is engaged to her ex-boyfriend Hank.

The Hallmark movie see’s Meghan’s character Amy realise she isn’t quite as satisfied with her big city life and boyfriend as she hoped she might be, whilst feelings for her former love start to resurface amid the wedding planning.

A Random Encounter

Meghan scored a major role in another romantic comedy entitled A Random Encounter, which saw her take on the role of Mindy, a twenty-something who’s thrown herself headfirst into the chaotic LA dating scene. Meghan had the chance to flex her comedic muscles in this flick, as the roommate of the romantic lead, who searches for a man she met after the titular random encounter in a coffee shop.

Dater’s Handbook

Meghan landed another lead role in romantic comedy Dater’s Handbook, which was one of the last films she starred in before settling down with Prince Harry and giving up acting for good.

The Duchess played Cass, a successful businesswoman who might have it all down to pat professionally, but whose personal life leaves a lot to be desired. This cheesy Hallmark flick sees Meghan’s character decide enough is enough after endlessly picking the wrong guys, and use a self-help book from a dating expert to change her approach to her love.

While it didn’t massively impress viewers, scoring only 23 percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie will likely appeal to die-hard fans of the Duchess looking for a romantic movie to dive into.

Anti-Social

This thriler saw Meghan take on a darker supporting role, as Kristen the girlfriend of street artist Dee, who initially unbeknownst to Kristen is caught up in the criminal underground.

Set in London, this gangland movie didn’t much impress critics, but fans of the Duchess might get a kick out of seeing her explore her acting range in this crime thriller – and it’s quite the contrast to the royal life Meghan would later get to know in the UK’s capital city.

A Lot like Love

This movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet in the lead romantic roles is a firm favourite amongst romance fans, but back in 2005 it also saw the now-Duchess of Sussex take on a small role as ‘Hot Girl’ – her first ever film role.

While her appearance in the movie was a bit blink and you miss it, it marked an important new step in her acting career.

Other films where Meghan had a cameo or very small role include, Get Him to the Greek, starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand, The Candidate, Dysfunctional Friends, and Remember Me.

The King has continually shown his support for the Ukrainian people during the war, and inviting Zelensky to Sandringham proves it, Royal Editor Russell Myers writes

If ever there were a demonstration of what purpose the King’s role holds, then look no further.

For here is soft diplomacy in action. The envy of nations around the world and a picture, or two, that spoke more words than were probably uttered in a meeting lasting an hour. In light of events in recent days, where US president Donald Trump and his cronies disgraced themselves on the world stage, this was a welcome befitting of the time and a country that everyone else is rooting for.

No suit required on this occasion, at least for the guest invited to spend time with the monarch after a week of bruising and emotional encounters. For the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, his request to see King Charles speaks volumes of the type of man the sovereign has shown himself to be throughout his life.

SIMILAR ARTICLES TO THISA man who has demonstrated on countless occasions the ability to be a peacemaker in troubled times. Indeed he was the first to welcome Jewish and Muslim leaders to Buckingham Palace last month after the signing of an historic deal to try and achieve peace.

The King has continually shown his support for the Ukrainian people in the face of such adversity, marking each anniversary of the invasion in recent years. Last year he spoke of “the determination and strength of the Ukrainian people” labelling the invasion an “unprovoked attack on their land, their lives and livelihoods”.

Charles added that “despite the tremendous hardship and pain inflicted upon them, Ukrainians continue to show the heroism with which the world associates them so closely. Theirs is true valour, in the face of indescribable aggression”. Just days after inviting the US president to an unprecedented second State Visit, many will be hoping Charles can emerge as an unlikely broker of peace once more.

Dancing on Ice star Colin Grafton reveals Holly Willoughby’s kind gesture after she learned of the sudden death of his former skating partner and close friend, The Vivienne

Professional skater Colin Grafton reached the final with The Vivienne during his first series of Dancing on Ice back in 2023, and says the two formed an incredibly close friendship. The RuPaul’s Drag Race star passed away suddenly in January, and American skater Colin has opened up about learning of their death – and the support he received from his co-stars, including Holly Willoughby in the aftermath.

“She taught me so much about myself and life,” he told OK!. “When you go through something as strenuous and as history-making as we did, it creates a special bond that you can never repeat. It was so special on every level.” Colin and The Vivienne reached the final of the ITV competition in 2023, finishing up in third place. Colin paid tribute to his late friend on the most recent series, choosing to wear one The Vivienne’s outfits from their own time on the show.

Opening up about returning to the rink following the news of The Vivienne’s death, which broke on January 5, Colin said his co-stars provided invaluable support. To be honest, it’s been very difficult. I was out to dinner with Mollie [Pearce, from Traitors] and her family when I found out, and I was in shock.

“It was two days before the press launch of the show and my family are in the States and were thinking of flying over, but I was lucky as I was surrounded by an incredible group of Dancing On Ice pros who took care of me. Holly was so lovely to me and she personally came up to me and asked me how I was doing about everything that happened at the beginning. It was really touching.”

The Vivienne, whose real name was James Lee Williams, became an icon after winning RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2019 and tributes poured in from the world of showbiz following their sudden death. An official statement released following the 32 year old’s passing read: “James was an incredibly loved, warm- hearted and amazing person

“Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother and uncle. They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career. We will not be releasing any further details. We please ask that James’s family are given the time and privacy they now need to process and grieve.”

An inquest was opened into their death on 12 February at Cheshire Coroner’s Court in Warrington, and the coroner heard how the much-loved star was found dead in the bathroom of their home near Chester. After citing a post-mortem examination that revealed an “unnatural cause of death”, area coroner Victoria Davies adjourned the inquest until 30 June.

Outnumbered stars Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner are said to have secretly married after appearing in the BBC sitcom together, with the pair reportedly dating since 2018

Outnumbered stars Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner are said to have secretly tied the knot – according to insiders.

The pair, who played Sue and Pete Brockman in the hit BBC comedy, allegedly took their off-screen relationship to the next level. After dating following the show’s wrap in 2016, they kept their romance private. However, it was later confirmed two years later that the couple had been seeing each other.

Hugh, 63, has been married twice before. His first marriage was to Miranda Carroll in 1987, but they divorced in 1993. His second marriage was to Kate Abbot-Anderson in 1996, but the couple split in 2015, though they share a son and daughter. Meanwhile, Claire’s ex-husband is Charles Palmer, with whom she has two sons. They separated in 2016 after 15 years of marriage.

While neither Hugh nor Claire has confirmed the wedding, eagle-eyed fans may have noticed Hugh sporting a wedding band on his left hand during his appearance on ITV’s Lorraine last month. Meanwhile, Claire was seen proudly wearing her engagement and wedding rings while promoting the upcoming Outnumbered Christmas special in December.

The duo plays cherished characters on the beloved BBC comedy.

It is understood that Hugh and Claire – who live in a £1.5 million London townhouse – walked down the aisle in the summer of 2022. A source close to the couple told The Daily Mail: “This is a real TV love story. They delighted fans when they fell in love outside of the show, having managed to keep it quiet.

“They are a low-key couple who wanted to keep this special for them. Only their family and close friends have known.”

It comes as the family sitcom returned to the BBC for the first time in eight years, with patriarch Pete revealing he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

The hit series about the Brockman family ran from 2007 to 2014 on BBC One and returned to the screens in 2016 for a Christmas special.

The latest festive episode opened with Pete and Sue preparing to welcome their three children to the new family home for Christmas before he revealed he will be undergoing a prostatectomy – a surgery which removes the prostate gland. While some viewers were delighted by the special, others quickly branded it a “disappointment.”

“Expecting an all-timer for #Outnumbered but there’s a new house and a random cancer storyline and not one funny moment,” one wrote on Twitter, known formally as X. “My family watching the #Outnumbered special after my Dad (who had prostate cancer) died last year. seriously wtf was that we’re all sad now,” another added. However, a third person jumped at the defense of the show, saying: “How people can watch that #Outnumbered special and think it’s bad?! Karen’s f****** Gay and a protestor. The queen has risen.”

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Kim Woodburn has been forced to cancel work just weeks after revealing she had undergone emergency surgery on her eye

Kim Woodburn has sparked further concern after revealed she’s been forced to stop working because of ill health.

The 82-year-old TV personality, who shot to fame on How Clean Is Your House?, posted a statement on her social media page on which revealed she wouldn’t be able to record any personal videos for her fans “due to a health problem.”

The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate posted a statement on her Instagram page on Sunday, March 2, which said: “We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future due to a health problem. Kim sends her love to you all.”

The statement didn’t elaborate on what was wrong, but Kim’s fans were quick to send her their well wishes in the comments. “Oh Kim. Please get well soon ,” one person wrote, “Yikes, I hope she’ll be feeling much better soon. Sending kindness and good vibes,” added another.

The news comes just weeks after the I’m A Celebrity runner-up revealed she’d had to undergo emergency eye surgery. At the time, her management posted a similar statement, but didn’t provide any further details.

In late January Kim was one of hundreds of people who turned out for the funeral of The Vivienne, who died suddenly on January 5. She joined other big names from the entertainment world including Jade Thirlwall, chef Jameson Stocks and Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins.

Kim first became a household name on the Channel 4 reality cleaning series, How Clean Is Your House? which ran from 2003 to 2009. Alongside her co-cleanerAggie McKenzie, she visited some of the country’s dirtiest homes armed with a trusty mop and bucket.

After the show was cancelled, Kim was signed up to the series 9 of I’m A Celebrity, and finished as runner-up to Gino D’ACampo. Last year she revealed that she’d gone under the surgeon’s knife after seeing herself on screen during her jungle stint – saying her breasts were “hanging down to my waist” when she saw the shower scenes.

“I’ve had my breasts reduced, I’ve always had huge knockers, they were very big, they were hanging badly,” she revealed. “So when I saw this after the jungle, I thought, ‘Oh, God, Kim they look awful love.’ So I went and got them made smaller. So, now listen up, if I take my bra off they’re firm and pert just like an 18 year olds.”

Piers Morgan has announced he’s returning to Good Morning Britain for the first time in four years after he quit the show following comments about Meghan Markle

Piers Morgan is returning to Good Morning Britain.

The outspoken broadcaster sensationally quit his role as anchor on the ITV programme in 2021 after receiving 41,000 complaints to Ofcom after his comments about Meghan Markle. He told the programme that he “didn’t believe a word” that the Duchess of Sussex had said during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which she opened up about her mental health struggles.

Now, almost four years to the date, he’s announced he will be back on the show. Piers revealed earlier that he will join Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain tomorrow. Taking to X, he said: “BREAKING: It’s been nearly 4yrs (1,453 days to be precise!) since I departed ⁦@GMB rather hastily… but tomorrow morning, for the first time, I’m going back. I’ll be on with ⁦@susannareid100 & ⁦@edballs at 8.15am.” His former co-host Susanna has reposted his post.

Piers’ post on the micro-blogging platform has since been flooded with messages from fans who were overjoyed by the news. “They should start with you walking back in with that same suit & then taking one of the seats you used to sit in,” said one. A second went on to add: “Good luck, Piers.”

“It was actually better when you were on. Not going to lie. You have to say it,” typed a third. Another commented: “If you’re back, I’m watching.” Someone else wrote: “TV Gold.” Whilst one fan said: “Haven’t watched it once since you left but I will be watching tomorrow in the hope your return might be permanent.”

Not everyone seemed impressed though, with one person responding to his post: “I’ve watched for 1453 days straight! Thanks for the warning and letting me know I need to put BBC on tomorrow.” Another wrote: “Thanks for the warning, I’ll be sure not to watch.”

Piers, who has been criticised for his views in the past fronted the show from 2015 until his exit, alongside Susanna. The opinionated star clashed with GMB co-star Alex Beresford on the show, after his response to Meghan and husband Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah. Although his comments had sparked complaints to Ofcom at the time in 2021, the regulator later ruled that his remarks were not in breach of its broadcasting code.

Following his departure four years ago, Piers has reunited with Susanna on occasion, including at a Christmas party organised by him at the end of last year. Other former colleagues including Kate Garraway, Charlotte Hawkins and Laura Tobin were also invited by Piers to the festive occasion in December. And last year, Piers featured in a video montage on Good Morning Britain that celebrated the 10th anniversary of the ITV show having launched in 2014.

The BRIT Awards returned this evening, with Jack Whitehall on hosting duties live from the O2 Arena in east London and Danny Dyer handed out the International Song of the Year award

Danny Dyer’s comments at the BRIT Awards have been revealed after he was muted by ITV.

There was chaos this evening at the annual music event – which was streamed live on ITV from the O2 Arena in east London – when EastEnders actor Danny Dyer presented the International Song of the Year award.

Chappell Roan was the one who won the award for her track Good Luck Babe! but she was not in attendance. Viewers at home watching the show on ITV heard multiple bleeps as they tuned in.

Now it has been revealed exactly what Danny had said to get him to be beeped. He told those in the O2 Arena tonight: “She couldn’t be f***ed to be here,” before introducing a video message from Chappell Roan.

Danny Dyer also made a reference to his movie and described it as Bridget Jones, before using the word ****. He then said the world was being run by b*******, before Danny then said Keir Starmer wins “b******* of the year”.

It is not the first time the BRITs has seen some rather awkward moments. In 2021, things turned awkward when Lewis Capaldi’s constant swearing in his acceptance speech caused him to be muted by bosses.

The singer was presenting the Album of the Year award, where he was constantly swearing, saying: “Shut up, shut up, shush, shut up. Hello motherf***ers! Listen guys… I’m f***ing sweating – it’s like a swamp down there, I’m telling you. Sweaty boll***s.” It meant that his speech was unheard by viewers at home as it was constantly muted due to the swearing

In 2018, Stormzy hit back at the then-Prime Minister Theresa May when he slipped in a verse about the Grenfell Tower fire. Speaking for the people, he rapped: “Yo, Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell? What, you thought we just forgot about Grenfell. You’re criminals, and you got the cheek to call us savages? You should do some jail time, you should pay some damages.”

For Kanye West, there was trouble in 2015 when almost every single line in his performance ended with the N-word. Because of the frequent use of the word, bosses tried to mute at the correct times but that meant most of the performance was muted out.

There have also been a number of falls over the year, including Madonna in 2015 when her cape got caught and she took a tumble down the stairs. Elsewhere, in 2022, Anne-Marie fell during her performance, but both pop princesses were quick to pick themselves up and carry on with their routines, thrilling viewers.

Sunday Brunch fans were let down as one guest of the show failed to make an appearance

Sunday Brunch got off to an awkward start on March 2nd after one of the celebrity bookings failed to show up for the Channel 4 programme.

Producers had secured Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi who was supposed to take a seat on the panel alongside former TOWIE star Megan McKenna, G’Wed actor Jake Kenny-Byrne, writer Liz Pichon, singer Antony Szmierek and Jon Ronson.

With Bre visibly missing but featuring on the show’s schedule, Tim interrupted the programme with a “breaking news” update on the whereabouts of the reality star.

The programme was more than half way into the episode when they finally addressed Bre’s absence, explaining she had attended the 2025 BRIT Awards last night.

Tim Lovejoy brought the programme to a halt for breaking news over missing guest

He confirmed to viewers: “Breaking news Bre from Selling Sunset is in the car and she’s at the hotel,” as chimes of praise could be heard all around the studio.

Tim added: “For anyone that doesn’t know Bre was supposed to be on the show this morning but she went to the BRITs last night and so she is going to turn up, when she turns up but she’s a friend of ours, so we don’t mind.”

“We just hope she manages to make it at some stage,” Tim hilariously added.

Bre found fame on the Netflix series Selling Sunset in 2022, starring on the hit programme as one of the real estate agents working at the luxury Hollywood Hills brokerage, The Oppenheim Group.

She is also mother to a son named Legendary Love who she shares with rapper and comedian Nick Cannon. In December last year, Bre spoke out to confirm on Sophie Habboo’s podcast that they were very much an item still.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the programme, Tim started to become nervous that Bre wouldn’t make it on to the show at all, requesting for his co-host Simon Rimmer to guess on whether she’d arrive.

Sunday Brunch chaos as just four guests remained on-airTurning to his co-star Tim asked: “What do you think. Do you think Bre’s going to make it on to the show?” Positively Simon estimated: “Yeah I’m going to go with 12:20pm,” indicating his estimation for her arrival.

It was at this point, Tim received a second update via his earpiece, airing: “Ohh I’ve just heard she’s in the taxi on her way down from Luton to London.”

There was further chaos to come as Tim also had to confirm why TOWIE and X Factor star Megan had now vanished from her seat half way through the show, leaving just four guests on-air.

Addressing her absence, Tim said: “Sorry Megan has just had to step away to feed Landon [her baby son], which is why she’s now missing.”

Bre did finally make it to show, arriving in the studio at 12:30pm, telling the hosts: “I am not well, sorry guys,” the Netflix star confessed she’d drank several tequila shots and got back to her hotel at 6am.

Sunday Brunch airs each Sunday on Channel 4, from 10am.
