The 31-year-old singer was blasted with hateful messages as she tried to highlight the prejudice shown towards immigrants and Muslims by replacing the words "immigrants" or "Muslims" with "pensioners" in a series of tweets.

However, she was lambasted by cruel trolls, who taunted her about her mental health and the death of her baby boy, who was stillborn at six months in 2010.

Lily told one Twitter user: "I DO have mental health issues.Bi-polar,post natal depression, and PTSD, does that make my opinion void (sic)."

The singer was also taunted after tweeting: "I lay in a hospital bed with my deceased son stuck between my legs halfway out of my body for 10 hours...(sic)."

One person wrote: "Not to be a d**k but I very highly doubt it was 10 hours," to which Lily replied: "You are a d**k. And it was. I was there, you weren't (sic)."

Another cruel message said: "Maybe if you didn't pump your body full of drugs you wouldn't have miscarried (sic)."

And yet another horrific tweet read: "The baby knew you were going to be such a horrible mother so it decided to go out on its own term (sic)."

However, the devastated star replied: "I didn't miscarry, I went into early labour and by son died from his chord wrapped round his neck."

Lily then revealed that she was taking a break from Twitter and handing over her account to someone called Dennis.

She tweeted: "My timeline is full of the most disgusting, sexist, misogynistic, racist s**t. Really, new levels. I'm no masochist so I'll be back x."

And the new controller of her account wrote: "Hi, I'm Dennis, I'll be looking after lily's twitter for a while. I can only communicate in gif form,and I'm going on a hate blocking spree (sic)."
