So far, 22 people have died and a further 59 have been left injured following a suicide bombing at Ariana Grande 's concert at the MEN.

In the aftermath of the tragedy on Tuesday, Katie was slammed by scores of social media users over her post.

The tweet, which appeared to be aimed at This Morning host Philip Schofield, said: "22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be part of the problem. We need a final solution. #Machester" [sic]

She has been reported to the Metropolitan Police over the tweet, according to the Independent.

Katie deleted the tweet and replaced it, saying: "22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be part of the problem. We need a true solution. #ManchesterArena"

A follower sent her a screenshot of the original tweet, asking why she'd changed her tweet to say "true solution" rather than "final".

They said: "How come you changed this from "final solution" to "true solution"? Come on, stand by those nazi words, nazi."

But Katie said she deleted and re-wrote the tweet because she's misspelled Manchester and felt it was insensitive to do so.

She wrote: "I stand by my tweet. I find the typo disrespectful to the survivors in Manchester"

Referring to pictures that had surfaced months earlier of Peaches struggling to pick her son up after the pram tipped over, she said to Peaches: "She likes Attachment Parenting until her baby is on the floor on the pavement".

Phil came to Peaches' defence over that one.

Katie has also made statements such as, "I don't really like fat people" and "I wouldn't like to meet a ginger in the dark".

She's said before that she wouldn't hire anyone who was overweight and that people who have tattoos need to "wonder what kind of future they have ahead of them".

The Final Solution

The Final Solution was the name given to a Nazi plan for the extermination of Jewish people during World War II.

It was the Nazi code name for the plan to murder all Jews within reach.

It culminated in the Holocaust, which saw six million people killed in concentration camps by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

The victims included 1.5 million children, and made up about two-thirds of the Jewish population in Continental Europe at the time.
