Imogen In Twitter Storm Over 'Blind' Comments

Imogen Thomas isn't exactly famous for her dazzling intellect, but even we're surprised at how stupid her latest comments are.

"I get really upset seeing a blind person. Its so lovely to see them out and about. Good on them!! We are so lucky x," she tweeted.

Users of the social networking site soon began berating her "patronising" comments.

One tweeted: "You do know that blind people have just represented our country in the paralympics don't you? Why do you think they need your pity?"

Another tweeted: "Imogen Thomas' brain is a vacuous waste of space. She's happy to see blind people "out and about". #discrimination."

The former Big Brother star soon defended her comments, saying they were not intended to be offensive.

"That tweet was not meant to be offensive! Gosh!!! I was saying that were very fortunate. Ppl don't half jump down your throat!"

She then deleted her original tweet. Funny that.
