Lorraine Kelly has taken a swipe at Meghan Markle after the Duchess of Sussex said she attempted to reach out to her estranged father.

The Gorbals-born broadcaster made the comments during yesterday's episode, while discussing Thomas Markle’s recent medical emergency, which resulted in the amputation of his leg.

Lorraine was joined on air by a reporter stationed outside Buckingham Palace, who suggested that the Duchess of Sussex’s outreach attempts could be seen as a PR move rather than a genuine effort to reconcile.

She appeared to agree with the suggestion, saying: "Yeah, that's very true.

"I mean, the press have tracked him down, she could always give them a call.

"I don't know if that will happen, though."

Meghan has reportedly not spoken to her father since 2018.

It is understood that Mr Markle is currently recovering in a hospital in the Philippines.
