Ahead of entering the star-studded house, he told viewers: “I’m Meghan Markle’s brother. I’m the biggest brother of them all.
“I told Prince Harry, I think she’s going to ruin your life. She’s very shallow.”
Thomas previously said he was “baffled” about not being invited to Meghan’s nuptials in 2018, reports.
He added: “Here is a person knowing the position she’s in and knowing the scrutiny she’s under and yet she has forgotten her flesh and blood.”
Meghan is reportedly bracing for fresh embarrassment and controversy as Thomas may reveal more revelations on the show, which airs later this year.
The window fitter has previously hit out at Meghan in the press, dubbing her a "phony", a bully, and a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman."
Thomas Jr also criticised Meghan for "cutting off" their dad after he admitted he was paid to pose for paparazzi pictures sold to news outlets worldwide.
