This Morning motormouth Katie Hopkins continues to be a trending topic on Twitter today after a clip of her getting slapped down by show host Holly Willoughby went viral.

Willoughby, 32, lost her cool with the former Apprentice candidate after Hopkins made a link between children’s names and their social status.

"I think you can tell a great deal from a name,” said the 38-year-old who provoked both anger and eye-rolling after a rant against overweight people a few weeks ago.

“For me there are certain names that I hear and I think, 'Urgh'.

“For me, a name is a shortcut of finding out what class that child comes from and makes me ask, 'Do I want my children to play with them?’

"There's a whole set of things that go with children like that and that's why I don't like those sorts of children."

When asked whether she felt such opinions were holding back her children in any way, Hopkins admitted that she did, causing Holly to fume: "Why would you do that? Why would you do that?"

And as Hopkins went on to declare that the likes of ‘the Tylers, the Charmaines, the Chantelles, the Chardonnays’ would not be permitted to be friends with her offspiring, Holly told the reality TV talking head to “stop, stop right there”.

After adding that she disliked geography-inspired names such Brooklyn and London, fellow presenter Phillip Schofield pointed out that the management consultant herself had a daughter named India.

Hopkins insisted: "That’s not related to a geographical location. It is a very lovely name for a very lovely child."
