Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen made a savage dig at Meghan Markle after she released her Netflix Christmas special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.
The interior design guru, 60, blasted the Duchess of Sussex for not filming the series in her own home, during an exclusive interview with Daily Mail.
Fans were shocked to learn that Meghan films her show at a property a few miles away from her own mansion, after she promised viewers an intimate glimpse into life 'at home with Meghan'.
As he teased his own 'at home' show, Laurence pointed out that he would be doing things very differently compared to the mother-of-two.
He said: 'And unlike La Meghan, I would actually film it in my home rather than borrow somebody else's.'
Meghan previously revealed she made the decision not to film her new Netflix show from her own Montecito home because it was important for her family.

'I wanted to protect that safe haven,' she told People in an interview about the decision to film elsewhere.
'We're a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day,' she continued, making reference to her three-year-old daughter, Lilibet.
The Duchess added: 'Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that's a lot of people to have in your house!'
On the show, Meghan doesn't seem to hide the fact that she's not in her actual home, as she references the fact a few times.
As she's putting together an array of treats, like peanut butter pretzels and popcorn, for her friend who is going to be staying with her during the first episode, she admitted that she was going to have to bring the assortment back to her own home.
While on the subject of the luxury homes celebrities' own, the king of interiors hit out at the Kardashian's 'achingly empty tundra of beige space'.
Laurence added: 'And of course, unlike the Kardashians, there'd be plenty to see in my home rather than be achingly empty tundra of beige space that they seem to live.
'I think it is the most extraordinary thing that the super wealthy, these days seem to want to celebrate their wealth with having absolutely nothing.'
