Katie Hopkins and Phillip Schofield recently sparred on Twitter after she poked fun at his new show Back In The Room.

And there was no denying that Phil came off victorious, firing back: "Loving your tweets @KTHopkins love and hate eh, where've we seen that before.

"Give my love to India xx"

Let's just remind ourselves of what happened the last time Phillip mentioned Katie's daughter by name, shall we?

No wonder so many people went wild on Twitter, with one asking Katie cheekily: “Would you like some sun tan lotion to soothe your burn?”

But, despite Phil and Katie being known to argue, the This Morning host has revealed that he actually quite likes her away from the cameras.

Speaking with heat! magazine, he said: “Although she’s the epitome of a pantomime villain, she’s lovely and very likeable off air.

“She does occasionally go way too far and I read things she’s said and think, ‘That’s so offensive, that will actually hurt people’.

“But prior to crossing that line, she’s really funny. Yes, she says outrageous things, but that’s the fun of it all.”

Phillip also spoke about how Katie handled herself in the Celebrity Big Brother house, insisting: “It was interesting to see how vulnerable and exposed she was when she realised people liked her.

“If you want to get directly to Katie Hopkins’ cold heart, be nice to her and she appears to completely crumble.”

We’ll have to try and remember that one, Phil!
