KATIE Hopkins is leaving the London-based talk radio station LBC after the broadcaster and columnist called for a “final solution” in a tweet following the Manchester bomb attack.

Hopkins, who first rose to prominence as a contestant on The Apprentice in 2007, joined LBC last April.

She is known for her controversial opinions and regularly attracts criticism for her views.

The tweet read: “22 dead — number rising,” she wrote on 23 May. “Schofield. Don’t you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution #Machester.” (sic)

She has continued tweeting since LBC’s announcement but has not yet referred to her own departure.

Some followers questioned her use of the phrase “final solution” — a term used by the Nazis to refer to the Holocaust — but later Hopkins altered it to “true solution”, describing the earlier version as a “mistype”.
