Kirstie Allsopp sparked outrage on Twitter earlier this week, as she was accused of linking the murder of Sarah Everard to her views on lockdown.
The presenter, 50, was flooded with complaints, after replying to a tweet from broadcaster Jeremy Vine.
Since then, Kirstie received “huge amounts of abuse” over the message – eventually taking the decision to delete it.

Jeremy posted that he felt conflicted over whether his daughters should trust policemen.
It comes after former Met Police officer Wayne Couzens was given a whole-life sentence for the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah.
Kirstie responded to her fellow TV presenter’s message.

She responded: “No, you ensure that lockdowns are never, ever imposed again.
“In any any other circumstance this could not have happened.”
Alongside a screenshot of the tweet, one user posted: “She deleted it. But we’ve all seen it @KirstieMAllsopp.”

Another commented: “Wow. Just… wow. Maybe take a step back for a while.”
Another complained: “Vile message @KirstieMAllsopp.”
A third raged: “You’re using the tragic murder of this poor girl to make some political point? This has to be a new low.”
However, someone else reasoned: “Unfortunately the lockdown rules did play a part as he used them to arrest her, she had broken COVID lockdown to visit a friend, he’s asked the question and arrested her, hence her compliance to being handcuffed.
“He deserves everything the prison system can make him suffer for life.”

However, Kirstie didn’t stay quiet on the matter and soon returned to Twitter.
The presenter shared an article relating to Sarah’s murder.
The headline read: “Ministers knew before Sarah Everard murder that ‘draconian’ Covid laws gave police too much power.”

In addition, she also addressed the negative comments.
“Sorry you don’t like it but I have received huge amounts of abuse for making this point,” Kirstie wrote.
She said in a second tweet: “What is ‘vile’ about not believing in handing out powers that can abused?”
