Dyer announced on Twitter that his girlfriend of 25 years and mother of his three children popped the question on Valentine's Day - and of course, controversial Hopkins had something to say on the matter.
Finally my kids will no longer be bastards....me and @MasDyerJo are finally getting married after a 25 stretch...thanks for the love people.

But while everyone rushed to congratulate the Eastenders actor and his future bride Joanne Mas - Katie Hopkins rained on their parade. Danny Dyer hit back, comparing her appearance to a gargoyle.
@KTHopkins No I agree...especially when you look like ya face should be on the side of a gothic building..have a nice day ya daft sexist ya.

The tweets then descended into a back-and-forth spat:
I don't believe any woman really WANTS to propose to a man. Women would far rather be proposed TO than propose AT. @MrDDyer etc.
— Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins) March 2, 2015
@KTHopkins Really.......and no man wants his wife to have the look of Wilfred Bramble either...strange old world innit.

She then compared Joanne to Lorena Bobbit - a woman who made headlines for cutting off her husband's genitals over twenty years ago.
Dyers girlfriend went the full Lorena Bobbitt; being proposed to removes a man's genitals. Too emasculated to say no were we @MrDDyer?
— Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins) March 2, 2015
And Dyer shot back in response:
@KTHopkins I'd pay you a compliment coz I know it upsets ya.....diddums.....but I'll be bollocked if I can think of one.

Other users joined in on the drama - with one doctoring a photo of Danny Dyer's 2013 flop Run For Your Wife...

Dyer pulled no punches, Tweeting Katie with a photo with her implied 'lookalike' Wilfred Bramble.
I've picked a hat for you for the wedding @KTHopkins have a wonderful spiteful week my love. pic.twitter.com/KSGtndO0fz

Yikes.. Well we say congratulations to the happy couple - Better late than never!
As for Hopkins... there really isn't much use in telling her to reign it in, is there?
