Comedian Joel Creasey is known for his love of drama.
So when the comedian told The Sunday Project panellists he has a “feud” going with Meghan Markle, our eyebrows were raised.
“I’m currently in a feud with Meghan Markle. I got invited to meet her and we did not get on at all,” Creasey shared.
The former I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contestant proceeded to share the awkward introduction he had with the Duchess of Sussex when they met during the royal tour in October last year.
Creasey explained that by way of introducing the 37-year-old royal to him, Victorian Governor Linda Dessau’s husband decided to tell her about him hosting the coverage of her royal wedding to Prince Harry for SBS in May.
“I got introduced to her — she came over and was planted in front of me. The governor of Victoria’s husband [Anthony Howard] said to Meghan, ‘Oh Meghan, Joel hosted your wedding-‘.
“I think he was going to say ‘Joel hosted your wedding on TV.’
However, the Take Me Out host said that Meghan didn’t seem impressed by the claim.
“But before he could say that, Meghan cut him off and went, ‘Ugh, I don’t remember you being there’,” Creasey continued, putting on a snarky impression of Meghan which drew gasps from the audience.
“Right? So I fired back with ‘Because you didn’t invite me!’
“It went rapidly downhill from there.”
Our hilarious mate @joelcreasey stopped by the desk to relentlessly name drop all the celebs he’s fighting with – including The Duchess of Sussex. Plus, exposes his plan to lose a Logie Award to Lisa, and also reveals his odd hopes for his partner. #TheProjectTV pic.twitter.com/BQjRMkrImU

Joel unashamedly admits what he's doing. And, yes, he's absolutely playing a character. It's his job.
He's hilarious in my opinion (which no-one has to agree with :))). My daughter and I love him!
I can't stand Joel, I know he is essentially playing a character but I think he's obnoxious, arrogant & annoying! I think like Magda said, he is 'famous' for being annoying & getting a reaction from celebrities.
