Ann Widdecombe says she thinks Meghan Markle is “trouble”.

The Celebrity Big Brother contestant and former MP told her housemates what she thinks about Prince Harry’s fiance – and her opinions did not go down well with viewers.

“I think she’s trouble,” she said.

Widdecombe spoke to fellow housemate Rachel Johnson and others, while having make-up applied by Made In Chelsea star Ashley James.

Viewers were unimpressed with the former Conservative politician’s comments.

@JoeAndertweet wrote: “Of course Ann Widdecombe doesn’t like Meghan Markle because of her ‘background’.”

Her comments were aired after the US actress wowed Brixton when Harry brought his bride-to-be to the heart of London’s Caribbean community for their first official visit in the capital.

The couple are marrying on May 19 at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel.
