Eamonn Holmes has laughed off Meghan Markle's 'influential' relationship' with ITV bosses.
The former This Morning presenter added more fuel to the ITV drama following Philip Schofield's exit, when he said the Duchess of Sussex holds great influence over ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall.
What started as a 'feud' between pals Holly Willoughby and Phill has now expanded to become one of the biggest dramas in television, reports the Mirror.

Piers Morgan was famously sacked from the network's morning show, Good Morning Britain, after he accused Meghan of lying in her Oprah interview.
His comments about Meghan sparked a wave of calls to media regulator Ofcom, with a record 58,000 complaints about Piers' criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.
Piers, 58, alleged that the Duchess of Sussex took it one step further and called his boss Carolyn, "demanding his head on a plate".
Addressing the incident on GB News, Eamonn - who also claims he was forced out of ITV - chuckled to himself, then said: "I think the way of dealing with Carolyn McCall and Meghan Markle and whatever is to laugh at them and laugh at the wokery, and just laugh.
"Seriously, because they're humourless, they're all humourless."

ITV was eventually cleared by Ofcom, who said that punishing Piers for his views would be a "chilling restriction" on free expression. It did, however, criticise his "apparent disregard" for the subject of suicide.
Then, it was revealed that the Duchess herself filed complaints with the regulator and ITV.
Reacting to the ruling, Piers hit out against Meghan, calling her decision to reach out to his ITV boss "nauseating".
"I was reliably informed recently that Meghan Markle wrote directly to my ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall the night before I was forced out, demanding my head on a plate," Piers said to Mail Online.
Piers went on: "Apparently, she stressed that she was writing to Dame Carolyn personally because they were both women and mothers – a nauseating playing of the gender and maternity card if ever there was one.
"What has the world come to when a whiny fork-tongued actress can dictate who presents a morning television news programme?"
Piers said he was "delighted" with the ruling, which he described as "a resounding victory for free speech and a resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchios".
Following his win, Piers boldly asked if he would be offered his job back by ITV.
"As OFCOM says, to have stifled my right to express strongly held and robustly argued views would have been an 'unwarranted and chilling restriction on freedom of expression.
"In light of this decision – do I get my job back?"
ITV has been contacted for comment.
