The EastEnders star, 37, accused the 40-year-old of wearing a wig in his latest rant - rumoured to be spurred on by Katie's recent magazine column.

Danny tweeted to his fans, saying: "Your love for publicity is almost as ugly as you @KTHopkins I knew you wore a syrup...time to put Steptoe down #filth"

He tweeted the message with a picture of one of the 'witches' from a TV adaption of Roald Dahl's The Witches showing a bald woman.

Katie wrote about relationships in a magazine column this week, entitled: 'Taking back a cheater will tear your heart apart'.

He said: "So Wilfred is off again..now this is what a Disney channel family would like if we lived in hell..which ones Harold.?"

He said: "Last one.....as I'm in a jolly good mood...imagine if a tampon was to have a face… @KTHopkins happy Tuesday. ;)"

Katie hasn't responded to the messages but she's sure to come back to Danny with a retort.
