Katie Hopkins had a heated spat with The Voice’s Twitter account after she criticised the show over the weekend.

The controversial TV star, who is used to the odd war of words, incurred the wrath of the BBC after making a scathing comment about the singing contest.

After it was revealed that last year’s winner Stevie McCrorie has returned to his day job as a fireman, Hopkins wrote:

“Last year's winner of The Voice just went back to the day job. Not wishing to put a dampener on proceedings #TheVoice.”

While it may have been one of her tamer comments, it seems that show bosses didn’t take kindly to the subtle put-down.

They responded by writing: “If we weren’t a polite BBC account we’d tell you to shut your face. #TheVoiceUk.”

The account then decided to delete their tweet altogether, but not before a number of users has screen-grabbed a shot.

Spurring her on even more, Hopkins added: “Ok, next contestant on #TheVoice. Your challenge is to pretend to cry more than the others.”

Hopkins has recently been discharged from hospital after undergoing brain surgery to help cure her epilepsy.
