Katie Hopkins caused uproar on Twitter when she compared Meghan Markle to a rape victim in a 'vile' tweet.
The former Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother star was begged to remove her 'disrespectful' tweet after making a joke about Prince Harry's fiancée.
Katie was met with backlash after writing: "Meghan Markle will be preggers faster than an 11yr old white girl in #Telford"
She posted the comment on Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Day, which asks the world to unite against the crimes.

Her tweet comes after a woman spoke out about being raped by nine men in one night as a 14-year-old girl .
The unnamed victim was snared by evil paedophile Shahzad 'Keith' Khan, who operated a child sex ring from an empty council property where he subjected dozens of youngsters to terrifying ordeals.
According to police statements and the victim's testimony, Khan took the virginity the 14-year-old girl, now in her 30s, and then made up to £2,000 a night selling her for sex with scores of men.
Katie was met with a lot of backlash online, but as ever, stood her ground, refusing to remove the tweet and responding directly to her critics.
Lucy Allan, MP for Telford, was among those to message Katie.

Quoting her tweet, she said: "Please take down this vile tweet. Lack of respect for victims is the cause of this horrific crime and is why it is not identified and prosecuted. Today is #CSEDay2018"
Katie wrote back: "Be outraged @lucyallan - I don’t give a damn what ‘day’ you say it is. It’s another day where our daughters are gang raped by majority Pakistani men. Get off @Twitter Get us out patrolling streets, walking our girls home, educating children. We are all complicit. #TelfordGirls"
Another person said to Katie: "This sick disgusting so called celebrity thinks this is funny"

She responded: "Be outraged, sir. NOW. Ask those you have @‘d WHERE WERE THEY? Why did they do nothing? Did they look away? Did they not know? Did they ignore our daughters, raped by multiple Muslim men, night after night after night?"
One wrote to her: "So what everyone seems to be gathering from your very pointless take on this situation is that apparently us simple folks in Telford have sat back and done nothing and require you, of all people, to tweet something awful in order for something to be done. Wow."
She hit back: "With the greatest of respect, I agree. You have not done enough in Telford. Where were you when little girls were driven to rape shops? Where were your patrols? Why no footage online? Where are the car number plates? Where were you? On TWITTER? The Establishment is not our ally"
Khan died in 2015 aged 61 without ever having faced justice over the sex abuse ring.
He had targeted girls as early as 1981, shortly after moving to Britain from Pakistan.
It's not the first time Katie's controversial views have been met with backlash.
