<p>The sexism row sparked by comments made by two Sky Sports presenters has taken a new turn as a businesswoman attacked West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady for speaking out for women.</p>
<p>Katie Hopkins, a former Apprentice contestant, weighed into the debate and criticised Ms Brady, who said the exchange between Richard Keys and Andy Gray about football official Sian Massey &#8220;made her blood boil&#8221;.</p>
<p>Appearing on BBC&#8217;s Question Time, Hopkins also said Sky Sports had &#8220;lost its sense of humour&#8221; hours after Keys&#8217; wife said the broadcaster was &#8220;offside&#8221; in its handling of the matter.</p>
<p>Keys announced his resignation on Wednesday night, following the sacking of Andy Gray on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Speaking outside the couple&#8217;s mansion home in Chobham, Surrey, Julia Keys said: &#8220;Whether you like them personally or not, professionally there are very few who would knock them. I feel the wrong two guys were given the red card. It doesn&#8217;t quite make sense in a way and it&#8217;s questionable the way it has been handled. I think Sky was offside in the way it handled it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs Keys added the suggestion Ms Massey did not know the offside rule was &#8220;banter from the boys&#8221;. &#8220;What other people do not understand is the dynamics that go on in the studio,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Hopkins made similar comments, claiming the nation should be &#8220;proud&#8221; of its banter, which stoked a strong reaction from the Question Time panel and audience.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;I think women actually don&#8217;t want equal treatment&#8230; It&#8217;s a tough world out there and what a lot of women are asking for, and you can look aghast at this, is special treatment. If you look at all-female shortlists for positions &#8211; is that equal treatment or is that special treatment?&#8221;</p>
<p>She later added: &#8220;Do we want a world which is completely void of colour? Do we want everything to be magnolia? No we don&#8217;t. I think we need banter and I think those poor guys really died on their swords and have been stabbed in the back by people like Karren Brady.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Conservative MP Edwina Currie held her head in her hands at the remarks, while private secretary to Labour leader Ed Miliband Chuka Umunna said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think, Katie, you&#8217;re doing anyone any favours this evening.&#8221;</p>
