Katie Hopkins has launched a scathing attack on Lily Allen, telling her to ‘stick to the music, drink and drugs’ after the singer became embroiled in a Twitter spat with former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.

Allen – who called Robinson a “racist, sexist bigot” – revealed she has “only ever been sexually assaulted by white males”.

Robinson called her a “f****** idiot” and accused her of “virtue signalling about #racism”.

Hopkins waded into the row and branded Allen “a short, crap Lady Di […] without a cause” and questioned the truth of her sexual assault claim in her Mail Online column.

She wrote: “Others might raise the teeny inconvenient truth that she doesn’t appear to have reported these crimes.”

Hopkins continued: “The majority of violent crimes committed by males in London were committed by black males. Or that in Norway 100 per cent of violent street rapes in Oslo were carried out by non-Western immigrants.

“Or that of 5,682 custodial sentences for males for rape in England and Wales, 12 per cent were Muslim. Which is striking when Muslims are estimated to make up just 5 per cent of our population.”

The LBC presenter told Allen to avoid politics and “perhaps focus on doing stuff she is good at. Like … erm … drugs,” and to “take a break from trying to be something you aren’t”.

She praised the mother-of-two for being “bloody good at singing” and revealed her husband loves the “enigmatic” singer before dishing out some scathing advice.

“Stop trying so hard to fit into a movement,” she said. “Stop trying to be bigger than the lost little girl you still are, wishing your dad hadn’t abandoned you as a child.

“We are more than just the daughter or our dad. Look at Calum Best. Or Cruz Beckham. Or Jesus. Or Peaches Geldof… (actually, cancel that last one.) They really cracked on and made a name for themselves.”
