Presenter Lorraine Kelly has taken a swipe at Meghan Markle, after the Duchess of Sussex claimed she’d tried reaching out to her sick father Thomas Markle following his hospital admission for an emergency procedure that led to his leg being amputated.

During a recent instalment of her daytime programme, the 66 year old mother discussed the situation with a correspondent reporting live from outside Buckingham Palace, who suggested the Duchess had only been in touch with her unwell father to dodge bad press.

Lorraine’s disapproval was clear as she pulled a face before commenting: “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”.

The 44 year old wife of Prince Harry hasn’t spoken to her dad, who’s currently recuperating from surgery in a hospital in the Philippines, since 2018. Despite insisting she’d attempted to send him a message, she’s apparently wiped his phone number and hasn’t arranged any plans to see him.

According to The Sunday Times, the mother of two avoided ringing him directly at the hospital, worried that a phone conversation might be listened in on, reports the Express.

On Wednesday 10 December, Meghan’s representative confirmed she’d finally managed to make direct contact with her father. “Given that a Daily Mail reporter has remained at her father’s bedside throughout, broadcasting each interaction and breaching clear ethical boundaries, it has been exceedingly difficult for the Duchess to contact her father privately, despite her efforts over the past several days.

” With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, her correspondence is now safely in his hands, “the statement confirmed.

Thomas has been outspoken about his desire for reconciliation with his daughter in recent years. Speaking from his hospital bed to friend Caroline Graham, Mail on Sunday US Editor, he revealed:” Of course I want to speak to her (Meghan) but I am not sure if these are the right circumstances.

“I’ve always said that I’m willing to reconcile with my daughter.” I still adore her forever. I don’t want to end my relationship with Meghan. My grandchildren would like to meet me. It might be nice to meet her husband as well.

Helen Flanagan took aim at her ex Scott Sinclair in a foul-mouthed Instagram rant this week.

The former Coronation Street actress, 35, called Scott “a piece of s**t” in the scathing rant, said to be the “final straw” for Helen three years after ending her relationship with the footballer. Helen’s friends have today shed light on the star’s frustration, claiming she wanted to “make a point” online.

They said Helen is working full-time at the moment, with a role in a pantomime in Liverpool, and Scott is without a club having been released from Bristol Rovers in the summer. Sources say Helen was upset that Scott, 36, was unable to find time to watch their son ­Charlie in his school nativity.

“She wasn’t happy and took to her social media to vent her frustration and make a point. Their relationship is difficult at times — co-parenting is hard,” one pal said yesterday.

That friend added: “Helen is working full-time at the moment in panto so was expecting Scott to cover the nativity and go for her, as she has a lot on her plate and he is retired.” Although Scott left Bristol Rovers in the summer and he has not found club since, the winger is yet to announce his retirement from the game.

Helen, who is currently starring as The Wicked Queen in a production of Snow White, and Scott split in 2022 after a 13-year relationship. They have been co-parenting their three children, including four-year-old Charlie, since then.

The latest spat happened after Scott had posted snaps from his VIP weekend in the United Arab Emirates where he watched Lando Norris secure his maiden Drivers’ Championship title. Standing in front of a huge F1 sign, he posed gleefully, tagging the post “What a weekend — Abu Dhabi F1.” He added: “Happy Days, blurry nights.” Charlie’s school nativity happened in the past week or so, it is understood.

The Sun reports Scott, who played for Celtic, Swansea City and Chelsea among other teams, recently split with family friend Lauren Davies, 32, who is from his home city of Bath. Things were reportedly going well up until the start of this year, when they are said to have decided they were better off as friends.

The source said: “Helen really liked Lauren and thought she was really good for Scotty. She has great values and felt it was important that Scott sees his kids and she wanted everyone to get along.”

A medical examiner has provided an update into the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner. The duo were found dead at home in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Now, the expert has reported Hollywood director Rob’s death was caused by “multiple sharp force injuries”. It comes after Rob and Michele’s 32-year-old son was charged with both of their murders.

Nick Reiner appeared in court on Wednesday for the first time since he was arrested in connection with his parents ‘ deaths. He waived his right to enter a plea at his arraignment hearing.

At the hearing, Nick was seen with no shirt and in shackles. He looked to have been wearing a suicide prevention vest.

During the hearing, Nick spoke only to say three words. The judge prevented him from being filmed at the hearing, with the next being set for 7 January. There, he may enter a plea.

Speaking outside of the court on Wednesday, Nick’s lawyer Alan Jackson said there were “complex and serious issues” at play. He went on to ask people not to “rush to judgement” before saying nothing substantive had happened in the case today.

Rob and his wife Michele are reported to have been “in bed” when they died. It’s said the body of filmmaking legend Rob was found at their Brentwood mansion on Sunday by their daughter, Romy. It’s alleged a paramedic later told her that her mum Michele had also died.

It’s alleged the couple had their throats slit. A source told the Daily Mail whoever killed them went there “in the middle of the night” and slit their throats. They added: “They were in bed when that happened”.

LAPD sources told TMZ that “rigor mortis appeared to have set in Rob and Michele’s bodies”, and this would mean that the pair had been dead for hours by the time they were discovered.

On Wednesday, Romy and her brother Jake spoke for the first time following the death of their parents and their brother’s arrest. In a joint statement, they said: “Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day.

” The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents, they were our best friends.

“We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave”.

It followed a family statement following the deaths. A spokesperson for the family said at the time: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner.

” We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time. “
