Gail Porter has hit back at Katie Hopkins for a tweet which mockingly compared her alopecia to cancer.



The Celebrity Big Brother star was recently evicted from the house and, while she was full of praise for fellow housemate Austin who offered to shave off his hair to support her, she was pretty unforgiving over Hopkins’ vile tweet.

And frankly, we can’t blame her.

Hopkins was live-tweeting the show when she hit out at the TV presenter, telling her to get over her hair loss or get out.

Here is what she tweeted in full:

"Yes, alright Gail. You lost your hair. Get over it. It's only bloody hair. Some people have cancer. Get a grip or GET OUT! @TheSunTV"

Typical nastiness from Hopkins.

Speaking at a press event, Porter responded with dignity, saying: ‘To put it on record, I’ve just read something that Katie Hopkins has written about the fact that I’m just bald and I don’t have cancer. I’ve totally talked about the fact that I’m just bald and I don’t have cancer, and I think what she’s said is disgusting, because I lost my mum to cancer, and don’t bring that up.’

Turning to talk about Austin, she added: ‘Austin is very, very stoic – he believes in what he believes in, he’s a great person. He can go off limits sometimes and be very aggressive, but he doesn’t do it in a bad way.’
