PATRICK VAN AANHOLT has slammed Katie Hopkins for racism in a bizarre Twitter spat.
The Crystal Palace star, 29, demanded Hopkins be “cancelled” a completely unnecessary rant following Blackout Tuesday.
Earlier this week, acid-tongued Hopkins said she was going to share a picture of her “arse” for what she was calling “Whiteout Wednesday”.
The tweet came just a day after the world united, sharing a plain black image on social media to condemn racism.
The initiative came about after the shock death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, USA – who was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck.
Despite cries of, “I can’t breathe”, officer Derek Chauvin continued to press on his neck until he died – and has now been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
And on Thursday, Van Aanholt refused to let Hopkins get away with her post, sending a series of replies condemning her response to Blackout Tuesday.
I don't know who she is but WOW…2020 needs to cancel you

Hopkins had instigated the row, tweeting: “Today is #whiteoutwednesday. I will shortly be posting a picture of my arse. Thank you.”
And Van Aanholt hit back, writing: “I don’t know who she is but WOW… 2020 needs to cancel you.”
Never one to miss out on an argument, Hopkins replied: “Dear @pvanaanholt. My name is Katie Hopkins.
“I am a white Christian Conservative. You May kneel and kiss my ring.”
The Dutch left-back then posted a terrifying picture, captioned: “Katie be like I’m “Christian and I’m white”…. OK THEN.”
Van Aanholt later wrote: “Can’t have racism on Twitter like that mate and not be called out.”
Katie be like I'm “Christian and I'm white”…. OK THEN

Van Aanholt continued to reply to comments from other Twitter users – finishing off his night’s work by promising to “make time” for Hopkins.
He said: “I would never let her wash my feet, she can clip my toe nails after a 90minute game though.
“Twitter I’m going bed but I can promise you I’ll make time for this Katie Hopkins. Deuces.”
