Meghan Markle curtsies in Suits episode
Meghan Markle, 41, starred in the legal drama Suits as paralegal Rachel Zane from 2011 to 2018.
During filming for her final season, before going to marry now-husband Prince Harry, 37, the actress was reportedly very popular with fans.
So much was the admiration for her at the time, she is said to have had “loads of fans” waiting to meet her after filming.
Dancing On Ice star Colin Grafton, 31, appeared on the show on several occasions in series six and revealed Meghan had a huge following.
In a new interview, he said: “I think she had just started dating Harry at the time, but she had a lot of fans already like outside that were waiting for her.”
The pro skater admitted he didn’t know who Meghan was at the time, as Colin added to The Mirror: “I think that was the point she was dating Harry, but it wasn’t public knowledge yet.”
Colin admitted he landed his role by chance after bumping into Gabriel Macht, who played the lead character Harvey Specter, in the restroom.
After the pair discussed his skating career, he was then introduced to who he believes must have been the director.
Colin said he had initially only signed up to be an extra as he was on vacation and his pal was working on the set all day and confessed he had never actually watched the show.

Without prior knowledge of the programme, he knew he would have a chance to impress if he wore a nice suit – and it was a plan that worked.
He described how the director saw him and said: “We need you front and centre in the scene!”
Speaking on the whirlwind of fortune, he continued: “But from a day of just joking around to being like in the main scenes with that.
“I think that was like season six or something. Not really acting but in the scenes!”
Meghan starred as Rachel Zane in the drama series, but things could’ve been so different after she previously confessed she nearly botched her audition for the part.
The Duchess of Sussex joked candidly about life before joining the Royal Family during an appearance on The Ellen Show.
“You said the last talk show you did was… I don’t know, another decade ago, but you used to come to this lot to audition all the time,” the comedian, 63, said to the Duchess of Sussex.
The former senior royal responded: “Oh my gosh, completely! I would park at gate three and then I would scoot on over, and what was so nice is the security guards would always say, ‘Break a leg, we hope you get it!’” she recalled.
“So to drive in today was very different.”
