Katie Hopkins has apologised for referring to migrants as "cockroaches".
The controversial figure sparked outrage in April when she wrote a newspaper column calling for the use of gunships in the Mediterranean, rather than rescue boats.
In a new interview with the Press Association she admitted that "There's some things about that column, there are some words which in hindsight you'd probably look to pull out of there."
"But I think overall my message isn't about the idea that we want to see migrants and people suffering, it's an idea that we need to find solutions to problems."
This is the first time that Katie Hopkins has apologised for anything she had said.
