Rebel Wilson is back on our screens tonight as she hosts the BAFTA Awards tonight - and couldn't resist poking fun at the Royal Family.
Rebel, 42, held nothing back as she took to the stage with her savage speech taking aim at Prince Andrew and Meghan Markle.
As reported in The Mirror, the Pitch Perfect actress took a number of hilarious jabs at the disgraced royal.

“Listen guys, no it’s not what you think, it was on roller-skates, it’s called Pizza Express,” she quipped.
“But don’t worry I’m not going to do it, I’m not going to sing, I’m saving my voice for the sequel to Cats.”
Next Rebel, couldn't help but bring up Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
"Our next package is for Outstanding British Film from drama to horror, to fantasy... Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah had it all," she joked.
"Unfortunately that's not nominated in this category but some incredible films are."
The Aussie actress and comedian previously admitted she had been surprised to be asked back to front the show after fearing she'd be 'cancelled' over her last gag-filled speech.

The royal couple were seen nervously grinning in their seats as a number of unfortunate headlines surrounding their family members were made light of in front of the Royal Albert Hall's star-studded audience.
The incredible moment came as Rebel arrived on stage to present the award for best director.
