Motormouth Katie Hopkins has caused even more controversy after coming to the defence of Ched Evans and Dapper Laughs on Twitter.

Ched, 25, was released from jail in October after serving half half of a five-year sentence for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel and has now been allowed back to train with his old team, leading to the resignation of Sheffield United patron Charlie Webster who was outraged by the decision.

But controversial columnist Katie was quick to come to his defence, writing on Twitter: “Ched doesn’t want to be a role model. He wants to be a footballer. If YOU need to resign to show you disapprove (are jealous) – crack on.”

Twitter users were quick to hit back saying they disagreed.

One wrote: "He raped a young woman? He ruined her life, so why be able to continue as normal?"

Another said: "Footballers are role models whether they want to be or not."

She also came to the defense of Dapper Laughs, whose ITV show On The Pull was axed after a video showing him make a sick joke about rape emerged.

“Well done. You clicked yes on a petition. And spoiled the fun for those making a different choice. Bland is not good.”

In the same morning, Katie also took a swipe at TOWIE star Gemma Collins who has been confirmed for the I’m A Celebrity line-up.

“I’m A Celeb line up. If Gemma found Splash tough, the jungle is going to hit her where it hurts the most. Nom nom nom nom," she wrote.

This comes after the former Apprentice contestant posted a series of anti-Muslim posts on her account after reports of the stabbings in Tel Aviv apparently carried out by an Arab man on two Israelis, including one that labelled Palestinians “filthy rodents”.

“Palestinians busy knifing Israelis. 2 stage solution my arse. Filthy rodents burrowing beneath Israel. Time to restart the bombing campaign.

“Arab terrorists fired rockets from schools and hospitals. They brought down Israeli fire on to their own people. See behind the pictures," she wrote.
