Meghan Markle quit Deal or No Deal after boss' four-word jibe made her feel like 'bimbo'

Meghan Markle has revealed she felt "objectified" when she appeared on Deal or No Deal as a briefcase girl and recalled the four-word jibe that led to her quitting after being made to feel like a "bimbo".Meghan opened up about it during the sixth episode of her Spotify podcast Archetypes, in which she chats to TV star and heiress Paris Hilton about the labels "bimbo" and "dumb blonde".

Before her chat with Paris, Meghan talks of her days working on the US edition of the hit TV show Deal or No Deal, where she appeared on its second season 16 years ago, writes The Mirror.And although she says she is grateful that the job helped give her a leg up in her acting career, she reveals the reason she quit the role is it did not make her feel smart and she had to look a certain way.

She explains: "Before the tapings of the show, all the girls, we would line up and there were different stations for having your lashes put on, or your extensions put in, or the padding in your bra."We were even given spray-tan vouchers each week because there was a very cookie-cutter idea of precisely what we should look like.

It was solely about beauty and not necessarily about brains."Meghan then reveals how one of the women who worked on the show would tell her to "suck it in" every time she went on stage and that she felt it was "all looks and little substance".She recalls: "And when I look back at that time I will never never forget this one detail because moments before we'd get on stage, there was a woman who ran the show and she would be there backstage and I can still hear her."She couldn't properly pronounce my last name at the time, and I knew who she was talking to because she would go 'Markell suck it in, Markell suck it in'."I ended up
