Alan Carr divided viewers last night when he poked fun at Meghan Markle.
Hosting his show, Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow, the 44-year-old comic began to introduce the hopeful celebrities hoping to win cash for their chosen charities.
Chris Kamara had been teamed up with Fallon Sherrock who became the first female darts player to win a match at the World Championships.

As Carr was introducing Fallon, he said: "As a pro, you must have a nickname, what's your nickname?"
She explained that she's referred to as Queen of the Palace (Alexandra Palace) and Alan went on to say: "I think that's the nickname Meghan had her heart set on, didn't it. But look how that turned out. What's she like?"
Taking offence, one viewer wrote: "Alan Carr is a funny man, there's no denying that. But he's gone too far with that Meghan Markle comment after all that she's come to reveal recently."

While another added: "For the love of God why is Alan Carr bashing Meghan Markle before 9PM?"
Someone else commented: "Epic Gameshow, really? Making snide remarks about Meghan Markle. Are we still on this subject? That's actually annoyed me."
Other fans certainly weren't offended, with one writing: "Leave Alan Carr alone. His comment was neither risky nor snide. Just British humour so get over it. If you people don't like our humour too bad. We know how to laugh at ourselves."

Another said: "Oh, we love Alan Carr! He said correctly! As usual it sparks chaos with savage Meghan Markle dig on Epic Gameshow."
A viewer who was enthusiastically egging on the comedian pointed out: "Why is everyone complaining so much? It was a joke. He's a comedian. That's literally his job people."
The comments come after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were interviewed by Oprah Winfrey where they made a series of shocking claims.

The pair said that there was 'concern' from family members over how dark their son Archie's skin colour would be before he was born.
Harry went on to claim that his family had cut him off and Meghan revealed that she had struggled with her mental health.
The Duchess of Sussex said she felt like she 'didn't want to be alive anymore' and didn't have any support from the royal family.
She said: "It was all happening just because I was breathing. I was ashamed to admit it at the time, and admit it to Harry because of how much loss he's suffered, but I knew that I didn't want to be alive anymore."
