Katie Hopkins has waded into the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce, saying the actress should have “spent less time collecting kids and saving the world”.

The controversial columnist, 41, said she was siding with Pitt as she described the thought of Jolie “weeping into her Saint Laurent power suit” as “utterly delicious”.

Writing in her Mail Online column she said: “She stole Billy Bob Thornton from his fiancée just as she stole Brad from [Jennifer Aniston]. Miss Not-So-Jolie-right-now is collecting divorce papers as fast as she collects kids.”

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt after two years of marriage on Monday and cited “irreconcilable differences”. Her lawyer revealed that the decision had been taken for the “health of the family”.

The actress has requested physical custody of her children: Maddox, 15; Pax, 12; Sahara, 11; Shiloh, 10; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8.

Referring to allegations of a burgeoning relationship between Pitt and his current co-star Marion Cotillard, Hopkins said Jolie should have expected to split from the actor because she “stole herself a little treasure, and paranoia should have told her that one day another sneaky little pickpocket would steal him again”.

Representatives for Pitt have denied claims that a third party was involved.

The LBC presenter branded Jolie "irritatingly perfect" and a "soft-porn version of Lady Diana" who has been "conveniently brushing under the carpet the other Angelina of a time before, the one [...] with naff tattoos which needed changing every time she pinched someone else’s man."

She claimed Jolie's charity work ultimately cost her her marriage to the Hollywood A-lister.

Hopkins finished: “Perhaps if you are too busy simultaneously trying to be a low-rent Amal Clooney, hauling a rainbow nation around the globe and looking unfeasibly fabulous for the camera at a Sexual Violence Summit in London, you don’t have much left to give to someone else’s man you thought you loved.”

Pitt and Jolie met in 2004 on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith and tied the knot in 2014.
