Benedetta Pinelli, editor of LK Today stepped down after realising she had accidentally sent Kelly a text message saying she was a nightmare to deal with and that she hated her.

The text is understood to have read: "My god, I have really got the hump. I have just had this massive bust up with LK. It happened today. She's a nightmare to work with. I hate her."

Kelly reacted, as might be expected, angrily. Within minutes of realising what she had done, Miss Pinelli is understood to have telephoned GMTV bosses back in London to offer her resignation.
