The controversial commentator took to the social media site whilst being stranded on a train.

The mum-of-three was left facing delays after someone had tragically killed themselves by throwing themselves on the line in front of an oncoming train.

Katie tweeted: “There was another fatality in front of my train today. I seem to attract the suicidal like flies on a car wind screen.”

Earlier this year, X Factor winner Sam Bailey slammed Katie, claiming that the former Apprentice contestant’s blunt comments could cause people to take their own lives.

She said: ''I worry she could do it to someone that's really depressed or on the brink of something... L'Wren Scott, no one knew she was the way she was. It only takes one thing to push someone over the edge so they commit suicide and she could be that person that upsets someone that much that they take their own life.

''I wouldn't like to be in her shoes. It's a matter of time before she upsets the wrong person.''
