Tweeting the news, the station confirmed: “LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately.”

In the wake of the suicide bombing that claimed the lives of 22 people and injuring 119 others at the MEN Arena in Manchester this week, Hopkins sparked a new peak of backlash, even by her standards, after calling for a “final solution” regarding Islamic terrorism. "The decision comes in response to her tweeting that a "final solution" is required in reaction to the suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena on Monday night, which killed 22 and injured 64.The tweet seemed to imply Hopkins was calling for a genocide against Muslims, as it mirrors the Nazi's 'Final Solution' of ethnic cleansing against the Jewish people.The tweet was quickly removed from Hopkins' account, but that did not stop people from reporting her to police.Hopkins, a columnist and media personality, first rose to fame after her appearance on TV show The Apprentice. Responding to a tweet from Go Good Morning Britain presenter Phillip Schofield, Hopkins tweeted: "22 dead – number rising. "Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be a part of the problem. We need a final solution #Machester (sic).”

Complaints were made to the Metropolitan Police about Hopkins’ tweet. A spokesman for the Met said on Tuesday: "We can confirm that a complaint has been received by the Metropolitan Police Service on Tuesday, 23 May in relation to a tweet published on the same day. The Met’s Contact Centre Twitter account confirming that complaints had been received and would be “assessed by specialist officers”. “My column on Corbyn, exchanging dead kids for the terrorist sympathising vote-block, posting here soon @MailOnline.”

Back in December 2016, she apologised to a Muslim family she accused of being extremists after they were refused entry to America for a trip to Disneyland, with publishers MailOnline paying £150,000 in libel damages to the family.
Right-wing media personality Katie Hopkins is to leave LBC with "immediate effect" after Hopkins posted on Twitter calling for a so-called "final solution" to the United Kingdom's Islamic terrorism problem following the Manchester Arena bombing which left 22 people dead.
