Former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney has reportedly claimed that TV reality star Katie Hopkins "should be dead" after she stated that people suffering with dementia are "blocking beds".

Retired footballer Robbie Savage, whose father died at 63 following a battle with Alzheimers, revealed that he was "mortified" by Hopkins's "naive" comments.

Now, Maloney, who recently had her last sex change operation, has criticised the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant and has encouraged people to stop following her on Twitter.

Maloney tweeted: "Well she should be dead now. This women is one bad person and would go away if people stop following her and reading her rubbish."

Hopkins revealed that she has signed an advance directive permitting euthanasia should she fall critically ill.
