Kate’s top aside, the star was hit with backlash after feeding foxes, prompting the ITV show to welcome two opposing views on the show to discuss feeding the wild animals.
The star has maintained her stance as she encouraged people to “live peacefully” alongside wildlife.
She wrote on Twitter: “As we take over more of the countryside, they will naturally be pushed to live closer to us. See the joy of being able to watch these stunning animals, not the inconvenience.
“Humans are way more destructive than foxes.”
However, following an influx of backlash Kate has told her Instagram followers that she will not be sharing any more photos of the fox, Peepo.

Alongside a photo of him she said: “Trust that our little fox will continue to be looked after responsibly, just not in a position to be weaponised.
“Here are a few solo pictures for those who liked seeing him/her as a little goodbye.”
The star has also cleared her Instagram of other snaps of the fox, but the one which remains has been inundated with sweet comments as she encouraged fans to be kind following a “hard week”.
