Katie Hopkins has dubbed Charlotte Church a ‘fat, Welsh Russell Brand’ after the singer challenged her to a boxing match.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star continued her row with the singer by blasting her in her latest Sun column, following her participation in an anti-Conservative rally last week.

She wrote: “She took to a loudspeaker to tell other Welsh people how mad she was, while chugging Greggs’ steak slice sideways in her rage – a fat, Welsh Russell Brand.”

Hopkins added: “I have never been a big fan of chubster Charlotte Church. Voice of an Angel? Mouth of a gutter wench.”

The 40-year-old went on to accept Church’s offer of a physical fight, claiming that she would win hands-down.

She wrote: “Come on Charlotte, let’s see who’s tougher. While you were eating sausage rolls in between songs, I was graduating from Sandhurst and running 800m in the army.

“Despite being in a different weight division, I still reckon I could knock that gurn off your face.”

Church originally raised the idea of a charity boxing match after a follower suggested that they settle their differences in the ring.

The spat began when Hopkins hit out at Church’s involvement in an anti-Conservative rally in the lead up to the general election.

She wrote on Twitter: “Oi! @charlottechurch wind your neck in. Your Welsh AND you lost. Own your problems.”

To which Church replied: “I have no interest in ever conversing with you. You lack humility AND you can't spell. Parasite.”

Boxing channel BoxNation has since offered the pair £100,000 to take part in a televised charity match.
