In an extraordinary tweet, the estranged wife of Rochdale MP Simon blames the McCanns for the disappearance of daughter Maddie

Karen Danczuk is the latest celeb to air her thoughts and feelings on the case of missing child Madeleine McCann.

After an interview on This Morning with investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas inspired Jodie Marsh to herself pen a Twitter rant about the McCanns, it seems as though Karen has followed in her footsteps and written one herself - seemingly in agreement with Jodie.

After the story broke that Kate and Gerry McCann were prepared to donate £25,000 to the Shannon Matthews fund in 2008, Karen retweeted the story and wrote alongside it: "And now they're exploiting Shannon Matthews to get a story in the paper?"

She continued and said: "Anyone who says McCanns are innocent, just remember they left three children under the age of four alone to go out. Either way they have guilt!"

The TV star was then hit with furious backlash by tweeters who slammed her for her comments, with one saying: "I'd have thought you would know better than spreading unsubstantiated online rumours".

She then defended her opinions, retweeting other responses with further comments, saying: "I'm taking info that's in the public domain so I can't be sued. If I was the first to say this publicly without evidence I could be."

Retweeting someone who wrote: "I don't know how they've got away with it for so long," she then responded: "Money my friend. Anyone who tries to give an alternative view on it are gagged."

However, if anyone thought Karen would apologise for her comments, they'd be dead wrong.

Following this bizarre rant, Karen then posted a screenshot of her original tweet and, tagging The Sun, wrote: "When you say this tweet has sparked fury, do you mean overwhelming agreement?"

And according to a family friend of the McCanns, the family are now considering suing Karen.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the insider said: "People need to remember that the family's lawyers are kept fully informed of all social media and broadcast remarks which are malicious and libellous.

"Their representative is fully aware of what Karen Danczuk and others are posting."

"If anything is believed to libel them it is immediately brought to the attention of their top lawyers Carter-Ruck.

"Kate and Gerry still get angry and upset by some of the wicked things said about them. And they worry their 12-year-old twins Sean and Amelie who use the internet may see them too."
