Watching With Love, Meghan was already quite the spectacle, but seeing the Gogglebox cast react to it took the entertainment to another level. Their expressions ranged from raised eyebrows to sarcastic quips and outright bewilderment as they attempted to process Meghan Markle’s insights on hosting guests.
As Meghan appeared on screen, she passionately described her personal rituals for making visitors feel welcome in her impeccably maintained home—sorry, rented home. She declared with great enthusiasm that one of her favorite things to do when expecting guests is to prepare the guest room, delivering the statement as though revealing a long-guarded hospitality secret. However, it was her next revelation that truly left the Gogglebox cast in stunned silence.
With meticulous care, Meghan selects items to place beside the guest bed, considering every detail—from a crystal for energy cleansing to the perfect bath salts for ultimate relaxation. Sophie Sandiford, unimpressed, scoffed at the notion, admitting that her own version of guest preparation is far less elaborate, usually limited to a quick sniff test of the duvet cover to ensure it’s fresh. Meanwhile, Twaine Plummer posed a deep, existential question destined to linger in the minds of viewers: “Have you ever been a guest in someone’s house and had a bath?” A collective gasp filled the room, followed by an emphatic answer—no. Showers were deemed acceptable, but baths? Pure social heresy.
Sean Malone, still grappling with the absurdity of the discussion, pointed out the obvious. Staying over at someone’s house and using the shower? Completely normal. But settling in for a long soak in their tub? That crosses a line. Nothing quite signals overstaying your welcome like a two-hour bath, surrounded by Meghan’s carefully curated Montecito ambiance.
Yet Meghan’s masterclass in hospitality didn’t end there. She had one more heartwarming detail to share—her unbreakable bond with longtime makeup artist Daniel Martin, whom her children affectionately call “Uncle Daniel.” This tidbit did not go unnoticed by Gogglebox star Izzi Warner, who quickly delivered one of the night’s most cutting remarks: “Well, what about Uncle William? What happened to him?”
To top it all off, Daniel Martin himself gave the world a glimpse into the Sussex guest suite by sharing a carefully staged Instagram post. The setup featured an elegant leather ottoman adorned with bath salts, gourmet treats, fresh flowers, and a handwritten note, all thoughtfully arranged to exude warmth and hospitality. However, Gogglebox viewers weren’t convinced. One Twitter user summed up the collective exhaustion perfectly: “If we’ve now watched that dreadful Meghan program via Gogglebox, does that mean we don’t have to watch it for real?”
As if public reaction wasn’t already scathing enough, reports suggest that Meghan is absolutely furious. And who’s in the firing line? Poor Daniel Martin. Allegedly, she blames her trusted makeup artist, believing his innocent Instagram post only fueled the ridicule—because, naturally, it couldn’t possibly be the show’s content at fault.
In the end, With Love, Meghan has undeniably accomplished one thing: uniting audiences in collective disbelief. If nothing else, we should all be grateful to Gogglebox for its vital public service—watching the show so the rest of us don’t have to.
