Lorraine star takes swipe at Meghan Markle before admitting 'that was ruder than I thought'
A star on ITV's Lorraine has taken a cheeky swipe at Meghan Markle, just minutes into the show.
Introducing the Hollywood segment, LA correspondent Ross King cut in to announce his 'shocking news'.
The presenter went on to discuss Meghan's plans to cut back from the products she sold earlier this year.
'Let's not mention jam, let's say it was spread,' he began, talking about the Duchess' infamous jams, which sold out in minutes when she originally launched.
He then quipped: 'Meghan Markle spread… That in itself sounds somewhat ruder than I thought it was going to be.'
Ross went on to comment that it was never known how many jars of her spread had been sold, saying: 'Well done, she sold out, but here is the bit of sad news that I bring to the world this morning.'
As Lorraine could be heard giggling in the studio, Ross continued: 'You might not be able to get it ever again.'
He laughed that it was hardly shocking, before explaining that Meghan had hinted new plans away from jam.
Meghan's As Ever launch in April sold out in 45 minutes, with products like jam, honey and herbal teas being introduced.
But in the final episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, she announced she plans on taking a 'step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.'
She went on: 'I want to really focus on the hospitality angle of As Ever, but as we take the learnings, we can understand what the customer's needs are seasonally.'

'My heart is very deeply in my home. Everything comes from being rooted in the love story of your home and garden, and then you can imagine different verticals coming out of that.'
When probed on if she could move towards a clothing line, Meghan replied: 'Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an interesting space for me.'
As per Fast Company, she added: 'If I had to write a résumé, I don't know what I would call myself.'
On her As Ever website, Meghan's $12 Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and $15 Flower Sprinkles sold out along with shortbread and crepe mixes, though the website hints 'more coming soon'.
Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and ITVX.

But streaming execs have quietly agreed to part ways. It comes after Harry's vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people. It was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority. A source said: 'The deal is done; no more shows will be made. 'Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple. 'Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair. 'They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time. 'The content got weaker from there on but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing. 'There's no animosity from either side. Meghan & Harry's war with the royals will NEVER end - they'll drag it on as long as they have breath in his body 'Things have just run their course. 'Netflix execs are well aware Meghan's priority now is her own brand, and they won't play second fiddle to that. 'Publicly, there will not be a statement and of course, if things change dramatically, they'd be open to a one-off project down the line. 'But for Harry, especially, this will be a blow. 'It's a huge loss of revenue.' Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is believed to remain on good terms with Meghan. The source said streamer Paramount+ was thought to be keen to work with the couple, who would be open to it if the right project came along. Last month it was announced Netflix had signed a deal with King Charles and Idris Elba for a documentary exploring the impact of the King's Trust. And it was understood any deal with the Sussexes could be seen as a hindrance to that link-up. Netflix declined to comment. 5 Bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her brand a priority

Cain then got himself scammed by an agency who took his money and ran, leaving everyone desperate, distraught, and back to square one. So, Charity stepped up. Charity failed to tell Mack about the plan (Picture: ITV) Cain feared it wouldn't work (Picture: ITV) She chose not to share this monumental decision with husband Mack (Lawrence Robb), however, and instead he found out from busybody Pollard (Chris Chittell), and when he learned that his wife planned to carry her great grandchild, he had a few things to say about it.
