"We were having a girly chat and then she said, ‘Do you know any famous guys? I’m single and I really love English men’. So I said, ‘We’ll go out and find you someone,’" Lizzie told The Sun.

"I was thinking about some of the Chelsea lot and I thought of Ashley as he’d split from Cheryl Cole. I showed her a photo of Ashley and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, he’s cute. Does he have a reputation?’ I was like, ‘Well, yeah, but you’re only here to have a bit of fun,'” the 50-year-old explained.

When Lizzie learned of Meghan's romance with Harry, 34, she shot her friend a text. "I texted saying, ‘Oh my god, I heard about Harry’. And she was like, ‘Yeah I know. We’ll try and hook up,'" she recalled.

That meetup never happened and Meghan vanished from Lizzie's life. "She was probably told by the Palace to end contact with people she befriended in the media. I was literally ghosted by her," Lizzie revealed.
