A star on ITV's Lorraine has taken a cheeky swipe at Meghan Markle, just minutes into the show.
Introducing the Hollywood segment, LA correspondent Ross King cut in to announce his 'shocking news'.
The presenter went on to discuss Meghan's plans to cut back from the products she sold earlier this year.
'Let's not mention jam, let's say it was spread,' he began, talking about the Duchess' infamous jams, which sold out in minutes when she originally launched.
He then quipped: 'Meghan Markle spread… That in itself sounds somewhat ruder than I thought it was going to be.'
Ross went on to comment that it was never known how many jars of her spread had been sold, saying: 'Well done, she sold out, but here is the bit of sad news that I bring to the world this morning.'
As Lorraine could be heard giggling in the studio, Ross continued: 'You might not be able to get it ever again.'
He laughed that it was hardly shocking, before explaining that Meghan had hinted new plans away from jam.
Meghan's As Ever launch in April sold out in 45 minutes, with products like jam, honey and herbal teas being introduced.
But in the final episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, she announced she plans on taking a 'step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.'
She went on: 'I want to really focus on the hospitality angle of As Ever, but as we take the learnings, we can understand what the customer's needs are seasonally.'

'My heart is very deeply in my home. Everything comes from being rooted in the love story of your home and garden, and then you can imagine different verticals coming out of that.'
When probed on if she could move towards a clothing line, Meghan replied: 'Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an interesting space for me.'
As per Fast Company, she added: 'If I had to write a résumé, I don't know what I would call myself.'
On her As Ever website, Meghan's $12 Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and $15 Flower Sprinkles sold out along with shortbread and crepe mixes, though the website hints 'more coming soon'.
Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and ITVX.
