Read our privacy policy Former Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel has defended Meghan Markle’s comments about her time on the show. “I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance,” Markle said. “They weren’t just pointing out gifts and opening, a lot of times they were mic’d and they had their input.” “I’ve never really heard anybody complain and I don’t think Meghan is complaining,” he added. It wasn’t fulfilling for her.” Markle previously faced widespread criticism for her comments, with former Deal or No Deal co-star Claudia Jordan saying that the show “never treated them like bimbos” that it instead gave them “so many opportunities”.
