Rebel Wilson could not resist a cheeky dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in an interview on This Morning.

“They can wear their fancy outfits, they can come on the red carpet, it’s going to be really like glamorous. And I think people are up for that, they’re up for a good night and it’s all about celebrating films.
