Posh woman's rant about kids' names causes meltdown on morning telly

Are you ready for your dose of early morning rage?

IF YOUR NAME is Tyler or if you have a child named Tyler*, you might want to move on right now, because you’re about to be very offended.

Former Apprentice star Katie Hopkins appeared on ITV’s This Morning show yesterday, and made some highly suspect comments about the relationship between childrens’ names and class.

DOUBLE SNORTWORTHY!
