Dancing on Ice judge's 'disgusting' meme mocking Princess Diana's death on royal wedding day slammed

The 46-year-old choreographer posted a photo from the Royal wedding of the Queen gazing at Meghan.

Included in the photo was the words "When you're plotting a car crash but remember you already used that idea once before" with laughing-crying emoji.

But he added his own comment when he re-posted it on his Instagram page on Thursday and said: "How long do you reckon Markle has?"

Some of his 7,552 followers hit back at his comments, accusing him of being "inappropriate", "disrespectful" and "not at all funny".

A handful of posters jumped to the defense of the singer and theatre producer.

"Not at all funny when 2 sons unnecessarily lost their mother.

Others posted laughing faces and one added: "Its just so Jason (tongue in cheek ) I dont understand why you are following Jason if you don't appreciate his naughty humour "
