Chrissy Teigen Talks Working With Meghan Markle on 'Deal Or No Deal'

Chrissy Teigen and Meghan Markle appeared together on game show Deal or No Deal years ago, and now Teigen is speaking out about her time working with the Duchess of Sussex. Teigen said to Daily Mail that she is "especially a fan of Meghan."

"I was on Deal or No Deal with her and she was lovely," Teigen said. "Now everyone asks me what she was like and I say, ‘Sorry, no dirt.’ She’s gorgeous."

Naturally, the supermodel couldn't help but joke about her and Meghan's shared history. She said she uses it to tease her husband John Legend. "I tell John all the time: ‘That could be me. I could be Princess Harry,'" she quipped.

Teigen, a two-time best-selling cookbook author, even praised Markle for her own cookbook endeavor. "I love the freshness she brings, and her cookbook Together [featuring recipes from women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire] is my only pre-order of the year," Chrissy said. "It’s beautifully done and you can tell how important it is to her. You see how she interacts with people and gets down to eye level with kids."

This isn't the first time that Teigen has opened up about her time working with the Duchess. "I saw online that you and Meghan Markle were Deal or No Deal models around the same time," Andy Cohen said to Teigen on Watch What Happens Live back in Feburary. "Did you ever work with her? And did you ever guess that she would be marrying into royalty?"

"I think she came in the second season or so. I did from the pilot season to first, but then I got demoted because I couldn't walk down the stairs," she joked. "Like I literally was fired, well not fired, but I couldn't be a 'briefcase girl' so they made me a 'banker girl,' I don't even know. It was a very blurry time. But I keep telling John, 'That could've been me!'"

"You won!" Legend shouted to his wife from the audience. "Did I though?" Teigen snapped back.

"Everyone wants a good story, and I'm like, I just remember very quiet and sweet. I got nothing...Really kind, and I don't say that about anybody," Teigen reminisced about Markle.

Teigen is such a fan of the royals that she even dressed up as Queen Elizabeth II on Halloween, and had Legend by her side as Prince Phillip.

They also recruited their friends, including celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin, to round out the royal family to attend the annual Casamigos party. Their friends dressed as Prince William and Kate, and Prince Harry and Meghan.
