The 38-year-old social commentator was speaking to Nadia Sawalha, 50, about what she would describe as fat when she brought Gemma up.

But the TOWIE star hit back on Twitter, accusing Katie of being obsessed with her.

She wrote: "I swear Katie Hopkins fancies me !! Omg why does she keep going on about me she's an actual bully keep bringing my name up ! Come see me.
