Meghan Markle ‘no longer pals’ with George Clooney as he is seen to be ‘linked’ to King Charles

Meghan Markle is reportedly no longer close pals with actor George Clooney amid reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been snubbed by their former A-Lister friends

George Clooney has reportedly joined the list of Hollywood stars that are “ditching” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The Oceans 11, 12 and 13 star used to be “bosom buddies” with Meghan Markle sources say, but apparently their close friendship came to an end shortly after Meghan and Prince Harry ‘s wedding in 2018.

George and his wife, Amal reportedly used to visit the royal couple’s homes in LA and Oxfordshire, but it’s said the Hollywood duo are “more linked to King Charles” now and even appeared at a Prince’s Trust event in London in May.

Adding more fuel to the fire, when asked whether he knew Meghan recently, George simply replied: “I don’t,” despite having attended the Windsor Chapel wedding, according to the Mail.

The reports of the fallout between the Clooney’s and the Sussexes comes after Harry and Meghan are said to be getting “ignored” by Hollywood A-listers as the Duchess eyes up becoming a “power player” in Tinsel town.

The former Suits was recently reported to have signed with renowned Hollywood talent agency William Morris Endeavour, with her said to be looking to rub shoulders with the LA elite.

But now it has been revealed that the the couple have been ignored by some of the very people they want to be on the right side of, with filmmaker Steven Spielberg said to have blanked the couple. With Oprah Winfrey also seemingly snubbing the couple when she is reported to have left them off of the invite list for her 69th birthday party.

According to The Express US, Paula Froelich, who is a senior story producer and contributor for NewsNation, revealed that as well as Steven and Oprah, other movers and shakers in the industry such as Rob Lowe and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, have blanked the couple. It is also reported that those who have blanked the couple all have homes in Montecito, with their pads likely a stones throw away from the Duke and Duchess’ mansion.

Speaking to the paper, Paula explained that the “big power players” in Hollywood don’t want to jeopardise their businesses for Harry and Meghan. With many “deliberately keeping their distance” so they don’t upset the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate.

George Clooney defends Meghan Markle against media scrutiny, compares her to Princess Diana

“It’s history repeating itself,” the actor told Who magazine of the way media has been trolling the Duchess of Sussex over the past few weeks. “She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was.”

He added, “We’ve seen how that ends,” alluding to the car accident that claimed the life of the princess in 1997. A formal inquest into the crash found aggressive paparazzi photographers were partly responsible for the incident.

Clooney made the comments while in Australia promoting his new Hulu series Catch-22 and after being asked whether he expects to be named godfather to Markle’s baby, due in April. He quickly dismissed the rumour, jokingly saying he has enough “s**t to deal with” as the father of twins.

The late Princess Diana, who married Prince Charles in 1981, was the subject of constant criticism by media organizations. 
Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.
A paparazzo once told Diana that he would “be there every day of your life until you’re dead and then I’ll be filming your grave,” according to her brother Charles Spencer. At one time, according to Time, the princess was the most photographed person in the world, and a photo of her would fetch up to $656 thousand.

At the time of her death, several U.K. tabloids were reporting extensively on her rumoured new relationship with Dodi Fayed, the son of an Egyptian billionaire. He was one of three other passengers in the car with Diana when she was killed.

Since their mother’s death, Prince Harry and Prince William have been very open about their distrust of the media.

“I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying in the backseat of the car,” Harry said in an interview for the BBC documentary, Diana, 7 Days. “William and I know that. We’ve been told that numerous times by people that know that that was the case.”

The media’s treatment of Markle has not been unlike what Diana experienced, as Clooney noted.

Since Markle and Prince Harry began dating, the duchess has been subject to media scrutiny about everything from her ‘messy’ bun to her troubled relationship with her father.

In 2016, Prince Harry released a statement addressing the treatment of then-girlfriend Markle, citing “the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.”

More recently, reports of feuding between Markle and her sister-in-law Kate Middleton have been widespread. “There have been threats of violence,” said The Times in a recent editorial, which pleaded for an end to the “vile abuse” of both women.

In a recent conversation featuring Lady Colin Campbell, the discussion centered around the controversial behaviors and motivations of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The conversation delved into accusations of hypocrisy, double standards, psychological issues, and the public’s perception of the couple, painting a complex picture of the former royals.

Hypocrisy and Double Standards

A major point of contention is the perceived hypocrisy of Harry and Meghan. The couple frequently criticizes the media for invading their privacy and using anonymous sources. However, they have reportedly engaged in similar behavior by leaking stories themselves. This apparent double standard has drawn criticism, with Lady Colin Campbell and the hosts highlighting how Harry and Meghan seem to have one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else.

Psychological and Personality Issues

Lady Colin Campbell offered insights into the psychological and personality issues that may be influencing Harry and Meghan’s actions. She suggested that Harry suffers from significant mental health issues, while Meghan has serious personality problems. This combination, she argued, accounts for much of their controversial behavior. Despite acknowledging these issues, Campbell emphasized the importance of holding the couple accountable for their actions, noting that they are adults and should not be excused solely on the basis of their mental health struggles.

Public Perception and Treatment

The discussion also touched on the couple’s relationship with the British public and the royal family. Harry and Meghan are described as privileged individuals who have received unprecedented opportunities and support, yet they continue to complain about mistreatment. The hosts recalled the enthusiastic support from the British public during the couple’s wedding, contrasting it with Harry and Meghan’s later claims of racism and unfair treatment. This discrepancy has fueled public frustration, as many feel the couple has not appreciated the goodwill extended to them.

Personal Ambition and Narcissism

Meghan’s ambition and desire for fame were also scrutinized. Lady Colin Campbell characterized Meghan as excessively ambitious and suggested her behavior borders on narcissism. It was revealed that Meghan, during her time in Canada filming “Suits,” would reportedly sell stories and set up paparazzi photos to boost her public profile. This need for attention and fame is seen as a driving force behind much of her behavior.

Conclusion

The conversation painted a complex and often critical picture of Harry and Meghan. While acknowledging their psychological issues, Lady Colin Campbell and the hosts stressed that this does not absolve them of responsibility for their actions. The couple is portrayed as manipulative and ungrateful, having misused their privileged positions and demonstrated a significant misalignment between their public complaints and actual conduct.

In summary, Harry and Meghan are depicted as deeply flawed individuals whose actions have stirred public controversy and criticism. Despite the challenges they may face, their perceived hypocrisy, ambition, and ungratefulness have overshadowed the public’s initial support and goodwill, leading to a complicated and contentious public image.

Royal insider Ingrid Seward appeared on ITV’s Loose Women where she insisted that Prince Harry will have to ask for forgiveness in order to mend his relationship with King Charles

A Royal family expert and insider has said that Prince Harry will have to apologise to Queen Camilla in order to receive his Father’s forgiveness.

Appearing on Tuesday’s instalment of Loose Women, Royal insider Ingrid Seward shared her thoughts on Prince Harry’s complicated relationship with his father, King Charles, who has sadly been diagnosed with cancer.

Speaking on the panel this afternoon, Ingrid told Loose Women star Coleen Nolan that she thinks the King would ‘certainly like for there to be a reconciliation’ with his son who recently flew back to the UK to be by his father’s side after learning about his cancer battle

However, Ingrid suggested that in order for them to fully mend their relationship, Prince Harry will have to issue a grovelling apology to King Charles’ wife following the revelations he made about her in his memoir titled Spare.

In Harry’s controversial book, he alleged Camilla, 76, had leaked stories about the Royal family to the media in a drive to transform her image. “I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar,” he penned.

Sharing her thoughts on Prince Harry and King Charles’ increasingly complicated relationship as father and son, ingrid said: “I think Harry’s father would like there to be some reconciliation, but I think that in order for that to happen, Harry has to apologise to his step-mother. He has to apologise to Camilla once and for all.

“She’s the sort of woman that wouldn’t want to ask for it, but I think an apology might really be necessary at this stage,” she added.

After Harry’s fleeting visit to the UK, where he is believed to have spent 30 minutes with his father before flying back to his wife Meghan Markle in the US, the Royal expert believes that Camilla was the driving force behind getting Harry back on British soil.

“I do believe she would have been the one to invite him back to spend time with his father,” she suggested. “People must understand that Harry has his own commitments but made it his priority to be with his ill father.”

The announcement, which revealed that King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer, has come as a shock to many in Britain, largely because the 75-year-old monarch has generally enjoyed good health through the years.

Palace officials have not specified what kind of cancer the King has, or how serious his condition is. It was only announced that the mass was discovered during the King’s recent hospital treatment for an enlarged prostate, but the type of cancer he has is not prostate cancer.

Charles — who came to the throne after his mother Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022 — has started a schedule of regular treatments and will postpone public-facing duties.

Brenda Edwards put on a brave face as she marked the second anniversary of her son Jamal Edwards’ death on Tuesday, with the Loose Women star admitting his passing still feels ‘so raw’

Brenda Edwards celebrated the life of son Jamal Edwards on the second anniversary of his death on Tuesday.

The Loose Women panellist, 54, wore a sparkly jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that nipped in with a belt at the waist for an event honouring the life of her late son in London. The former X Factor star teamed the navy blue number with a silver choker necklace and a pair of hoop earrings.

Smiling for some photos inside the venue, Brenda was joined by a host of guests, including her co-star Linda Robson. Her son, music producer Jamal, tragically died after a cardiac arrest brought on by taking cocaine and drinking alcohol in February 2022 at the age of 31.

Taking to social media on the same day, Brenda paid tribute to her late son and admitted she wishes she could “rewind time” to have him back. The brave star was supported by Loose Women stars past and present, with Kate Thornton telling Brenda: “Sending so much love to you. He is greatly missed and never more so than by you, his incredible mum.”

Music mogul Jamal, who had an MBE, was a music entrepreneur, DJ and was the founder of the online music platform SBTV. His death was announced on 20th February 2022, with a coroner later concluding that the young star had consumed cocaine and alcohol before later dying from a heart attack.

Writing alongside a collection of pictures of her late son on Instagram on Tuesday, Brenda penned: “@jamaledwards the pain of 2 years ago today still feels so raw. I miss you so much baby, I keep wishing I could rewind time to have you back with me, this hurt is indescribable, I will celebrate your incredible life and legacy now and forevermore . Love you always Jamms #angelinheaven.”

“Thinking of you today. Sending you love and the tightest hug,” Ruth Langsford commented underneath Brenda’s moving post, with Coleen Nolan adding: “Love you B … we are all here for you and Jamal will always be with you!!” Katie Piper, another of Brenda’s Loose Women co-stars added four blue heart emojis, while a fan told the star: “Can’t believe it’s been two years already. He’s never forgotten and his presence is missed. Thinking of you and T x.”

Last year, Ed Sheeran paid an emotional tribute to Jamal during a heartrending performance at London’s Eventim Apollo. The Shape of You singer, who was close friend with Jamal, broke down on stage in May as he confessed he was “I’m still not over it, and I don’t want to be.”

It’s been two years since Brenda lost her beloved sonDuring the show, Ed remembered the last time they were at the venue together, watching a comedy show. Overcome with emotion, he said: “The first time I ever played this song, I cried when I introduced it, I cried at the start, I cried at the end and… I’m going to cry now.” In an emotional moment, the singer wiped away tears before sharing that singing these songs felt “cathartic”.The dad-of-two shared that he feels songs are his until he “put them out there” and then they belong to everyone. Fans share them and “relate” to the music. Ed then spoke about how “s*** just happens” when you grow up and “everyone goes through it”.

Before singing Life Goes On, he said: “I felt like when Jamal passed away that I wanted the world to just stop, like it did when the Queen died.” He confessed he “didn’t feel ready” and still doesn’t, saying people expect you to be sad for a bit and then get over it. “I’m still not over it, and I don’t want to be,” Ed admitted, talking about his sadness after his friend Jamal’s death.

As conspiracy theories about the Royal Family continue to swirl online, Denise Welch discussed the topic on Monday’s Loose Women

Denise Welch has hit out at “half statements” as conspiracy theories about the royal family continue to swirl online.

The Princess of Wales, 42, has not been seen publicly since undergoing “planned major abdominal surgery” earlier this year, which took place at the London Clinic on January 16. It comes as King Charles has taken a step back from duties following his cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, Prince William sparked concern last week when he pulled out of the memorial service for King Constantine, where he had been due to give a reading.

In a new statement last week, a royal spokesperson said: “Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the Princess’s recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands.” The spokesperson reiterated the princess is “doing well.” They have still said nothing more about what specific medical procedure she has had and due to her retreat from the public eye, it has led to lots of unwarranted online speculation and conspiracy theories.

Talking on Monday’s Loose Women, Denise, 65, said: “The whole royal family thing, listen, I’m very torn about it all. As anybody who watches this show regularly knows, I’m very much team Meghan and Harry.” The panellist added: “The whole Kate Middleton thing, I have nothing against her, I don’t know her, I hope she’s alright.

“Just tell us what’s the matter, just do a photo whether it’s from your bed or whatever it is, you are creating a media frenzy. Now the conspiracy theories are starting, which of course they’re going to do. So just say what is the matter with her. I don’t understand them telling us about Charles’ cancer but not telling us where the cancer is and how he is, don’t make half a statement!”

To which co-star Ruth Langsford responded in defence: “Some people would say they should be afforded some modicum of privacy when it comes to your health. It might be something that she doesn’t want discussed. It might be private but they’ve just said: ‘Look, she’s had an operation, she’s fine, she’ll be away from her Royal duties.’”

In a statement released the day after Kate’s operation Kensington Palace said: “The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.

“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private. Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.”

While Buckingham Palace said in a statement last month: “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.

“The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.

“His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”

Celebrity Big Brother has played host to a galaxy of stars over the years, but who was your favourite ever winner? Let’s find out

Celebrity Big Brother is back on our screens, bringing with it a wave of nostalgia for all the past winners that have graced our screens over the last two decades.

While we lap up the latest series – starring Princess of Wales’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, TV star Sharon Osbourne, music mogul Louis Walsh, and Strictly star Nikita Kuzmim among others – we thought it was a good time to ask you who your favourite ever winner was.

And your most-loved by quite some margin is Rylan Clark, with 261 votes. The one-time X-Factor contestant – and now ubiquitous TV presenter – was the last man standing when the 2013 series ended.

This is a very fondly remembered era, and you may recall jockey Frankie Dettori and Rylan having to decide every housemate’s fate as to who would move in the Main House or the Basement. Joining them were Razor Ruddock, Gillian Taylforth, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt and Paula Hamilton.

Your next favourite was top comic Jack Dee with 106 votes. The inaugural series back in 2001 saw the laconic, stony-faced legend triumph against other housemates that included Anthea Turner, Chris Eubank, Claire Sweeney, Keith Duffy and Vanessa Feltz. The show is probably best remembered for Vanessa having an on-air meltdown when she began methodically writing on the kitchen table using chalk.

Closely following Jack with 108 votes is Ryan Thomas. The former Coronation Street actor became the latest winner after beating US star Kirstie Alley in the final. Ryan was involved in a punch-gate scandal with former Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett. After she controversially accused Ryan of deliberately hitting her, she walked out of the house in a back door-style eviction and Ryan was crowned the winner.

Comic Julian Clary, who won the second series in 2012, was your next favourite with 78 votes. It had initially been announced that Facebook voting would be in effect for this series but due to technical issues, Channel 5 cancelled such plans. The comedian was joined by Julie Goodyear, MC Harvey and Coleen Nolan, Martin Kemp and Samantha Brick.

Following Julian on 73 votes is Happy Mondays legend Bez. The 2005 series was won by Salford’s very own maraca shaking, freaky dancin’ Happy Monday, Mark ‘Bez’ Berry. He was accompanied by a diverse crowd including Germaine Greer, Caprice, Brigitte Nielsen, Jackie Stallone and Kenzie and it was the first series in which celebrities got paid to appear. John McCririck’s diary room tantrum over his beloved Diet Coke certainly stuck in the mind from the third series.

Controversial comic Jim Davidson got 69 of your votes. The old-school stand-up scooped the title in the first series of CBB to air in 2014. The show lasted 27 days. Other housemates were Lionel Blair, Luisa Zissman, Dappy and Evander Holyfield, Jasmine Waltz, Lee Ryan, Linda Nolan and Liz Jones.

Next is Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding with 66 votes. Betting odds were up and down for Sarah in the 2017 series – one episode she was favourite and the next she was getting booed – but she came out on top in the end.

Next up is Shilpa Shetty Jundra with 49 votes. The most controversial Big Brother incarnation of all-time saw a record number of complaints to regulator Ofcom. Issues centred on concerns that Bollywood star Shilpa was the subject of racist bullying and protests were even held in India. Among the other contestants involved were Danielle Lloyd, Jo O’Meara, Jade Goody, Jack Tweed and Leo Sayer.

Shane Jenek/Courtney Act got 44 of your votes. The RuPaul’s Drag Race finalist won the 2018 series after beating Ann Widdecombe with 49 per cent of the public vote. The chasing pack saw Paddy Doherty and Mark Owen tied with 38 votes each, followed by Katie Price on 33. Other votes were cast for Scotty T, Gary Busey, Coleen Nolan, Charlotte Crosby, Stephen Bear, Denise Welch, Ulrika Jonsson, Alex Reid, James Hill and Chantelle Houghton.

There’s still time to vote! Let us know your favourite Celebrity Big Brother winner by using the poll above.

Former glamour model Katie Price has begged to return to Loose Women despite slamming her former co-stars after appearing on the ITV panel from 2015 to 2018

Katie Price has declared she wants to return to Loose Women despite slamming her exit from the show.

The former glamour model, 45, admitted she wants to go back to the ITV daytime show as a presenter. She was a regular panelist on the programme from 2015 to 2018. Katie has since re-shared a social media post of an episode from March 18, 2018 where she appeared on the panel alongside Vicky Pattison, Linda Robson and Andrea McLean.

The admission comes just days after she was declared bankrupt for a second time after dodging court six times over her £3.2million debt.

Alongside the throwback snap, Katie wrote: “I should go back as a presenter.” Last month, Loose Women’s Linda Robson revealed Katie is desperate to be allowed back on the show. Writing in her new book Truth Be Told, Linda said: “I love Katie Price but sometimes I think she deliberately tries to shock. I did an awards show with her once where we were both supposed to be presenting together but no one could find her anywhere.

“She eventually turned up with minutes to spare. When we got out on the stage, she started talking about herself and I had to tell her, ‘Oi! It ain’t about you today. Whenever I bump into her now, she tells me how she wants to come back to Loose Women. And I say, ‘But, Katie, you can’t f*** ing behave yourself, can you?’”

Katie slammed her former co-stars after she left the show (

Linda confessed she worries about Katie, and that the mum-of-five “used to sleep in the car on her way in and would arrive in her pyjamas and get dressed when she got there”. She added: “She always made plenty of headlines whenever she was on, though.” After leaving the show back in 2018, Katie revealed that she felt let down by the ITV team. It came at the time of her ex-husband Kieran Hayler’s affair and her mum’s terminal illness diagnosis.

Katie told the Changes With Annie Macmanus podcast in 2021: “I was doing Loose Women for two years. When I look back at that it makes me feel sick. You had me at my worst. You had me when mentally I was really going through it, which is weird because some people wouldn’t have you on the show like ‘no you are not well enough’. In fact, I wasn’t well. I wasn’t well but I was still able to perform like a seal.”

Just last year Katie slammed her former co-stars when she was asked by sister Sophie if she would ever consider returning. Speaking on The Katie Price show podcast, she said: “I’m gonna throw it back, the question is would they ever have me back on?” Her son Junior made a Loose Women appearance last summer to discuss his upbringing with famous parents, Katie and Peter Andre.

Katie added: “Although they did p**s me off when Junior was on it, not even asking a question, ‘how is your mum’ and all of that – very disrespectful. But, would I be a presenter on it? To be honest, I’ve been there and done that so probably not, no I don’t want to be a presenter on Loose Women again, so I would turn that down.” While speaking on TikTok, Katie claimed that the panellists “hated” her.

Loose Women panellist Jane Moore walked off the ITV show on Friday after a discussion over Celebrity Big Brother’s backdoor eviction for Bradley Riches and the art of saying goodbye

Jane Moore walked off Loose Women on Friday after admitting she’s not a fan of goodbyes.

Host Kaye Adams and panellists Jane, Nadia Sawalha and Judi Love were discussing whether they are “good at goodbyes” following the shock exit of Bradley Riches, which saw the actor leave the show without a live eviction. Judi admitted she was left emotional watching the sad scenes as Bradley was told he had been voted out after being duped into thinking he was meeting a loved one.

He then quickly said goodbye to his housemates before leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house. Jane found the reaction to the Heartstopper actor’s exit amusing and quipped: “They’ll all see each again at the wrap party!”

Kaye pointed out that Jane isn’t one for long goodbyes and often leaves engagements without saying goodbye at all. Recalling an example of an abrupt exit, Kaye said: “It was a theatre production and there was a whole bunch of people there.

Jane was there with her friend and the production finishes, everyone claps, the friend looks across to Jane to see she’s gone.” Justifying the lack of goodbye, Jane said: “I don’t want to get stuck in that queue going out of the theatre so I go out quickly. I thought she was behind me but she didn’t follow me.”

Interrupting, Kaye said: “We’ve got to go to the break – I have no idea whether Jane’s going to be here when we come back,” as Nadia added: “It’s a great tip for young people, just leave.”

Jane then stood up and walked away from the Loose Women panel disappearing behind the set. The Loose Women star had returned to her seat when the show returned from the ad break.

Earlier in the week, Loose Women panellist Denise Welch hit out at Fern Britton after she clashed with Nikita Kuzmin. The former This Morning presenter told the Strictly Come Dancing pro she wasn’t happy with an earlier comment he had made about her outfit, which she viewed as a backhanded compliment.

Denise fumed: “If there’s one type of behaviour I cannot stand, it’s passive aggressive behaviour. The definition of it is indirectly expressing negative opinions instead of addressing them and I can’t bare anything that’s done behind a sickly painted smile.”

She continued: “I felt very sorry for Nikita because I genuinely think it wasn’t ageist, I think it was because he nominated her four times and she didn’t like it and I felt sorry for him. I don’t think he’s got a mean bone in his body, in there and knowing him a little bit outside.”

I’m A Celeb winner Sam Thompson was urged to get a penis enlargement by his celeb pals, Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks, as the trio discussed plastic surgery on his podcast

Convinced Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks told pal Sam Thompson that he should probably consider a penis enlargement after informing him that he could do with “another inch”.

The red-faced star was given some cheeky advice on his Staying Relevant podcast – and they didn’t break it to him easy. Sam chatted with guest Olivia, who had just made an ITV show about plastic surgery named The Price of Perfection. They talked about different kinds of surgery, and what the I’m A Celebrity winner should do.

Olivia had a part in her show where she learned about penis surgery. She and Pete talked about how men can feel worried about the size of their penis. Olivia mentioned: “We talked about your penis, didn’t we? And then pressures that are you on guys when it comes to penis size and the stress it can cause.”

Sam joked: “I am an advocate for the extra small condom.” Olivia laughed and said: “We should’ve had you on… I know an amazing surgeon now if you need anything..” Sam was surprised and said: “You can get a d**k enlargement? That’s amazing! ” Olivia then told him: “It gives you another inch to play with, which to some people, sort of makes a difference.”

Pete teased Sam, saying: “So two for you,” making fun of his friend. Sam knew Pete would drop a gag and said “I knew that was coming. I literally was waiting for it. Because hungover it took him a little bit longer to get. I knew that was the way he was going.”

Olivia was asked about the most gruesome things she saw while filming her plastic surgery series. She spoke up: “Some days I’ve walked in there and someone’s getting like sliced open and it’s nothing and then the next day I see something that’s not as gory and my knees go. It depends on how good a night’s sleep or if I’ve had a drink or anything. The smell is the worst thing in surgery.”

Pete recalled Olivia inviting him to feature on her show with abs sketching treatment. He told the story: “I’ve just remembered the other time that you asked me to be on your show. It was when you wanted me to get my abs done.”

She admitted: “I’ll be honest, that wasn’t entirely my idea. They said ‘Do you think Pete would come on and you have abs sketching treatments? ‘ Because we needed a dude to try out the human Kendall thing, the non-invasive one.”
