Fox host Kat Timpf has issued a scathing response after one fan urged her to stop speaking about her shock cancer battle.
Timpf, who recently had a double mastectomy and announced that she had beat cancer after a year, took to her Instagram story on Friday to hit out at a recent comment.
Set against a black backdrop, the TV personality shared a snapshot of the comment that read: ‘Sorry Kat, but you are not all that and a bag of chip.
‘I am REALLY HAPPY that you kicked cancer’s butt and that you are a mom. However, using it all the time is getting very old.
‘Other people have gone through the very same thing and are very humble. Don’t be so egocentric.’
And mom-of-one Kat, 36, was quick to share her own thoughts on the note.
She wrote: ‘PSA: I will likely talk about this for the rest of my life as that is how long it will affect me. Making jokes heals me and I won’t stop doing it.
‘If it offends you that badly, feel free to unfollow me.’

It comes after Timpf made a joke about her surgery on Gutfeld! earlier this month.
She was on the air with Johnny Joey Jones – a former Marine who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan – who made a joke about his role at Fox.
‘That’s why there’s a rub here because it’s like [Timpf] knows that’s the only reason I have this job to begin with,’ Jones said.
‘And she’s going to get cancer and take the sympathy card right out from under me.’
Timpf exercised her quick wittedness as she promptly replied, ‘Well, yeah!’
‘Now you’re not the only double amputee on the show,’ she said, referencing the fact that she had both breasts removed.
She posted the moment on her social media accounts, captioning the video: ‘Pretty sure this is my funniest joke ever of all time.’
Despite some viewers clearly being unhappy, others agreed with her as one wrote: ‘OMG this was the freaking hysterical.’
In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant
‘Kat, you have an amazing attitude about your cancer,’ another added.
‘Was the funniest show ever! God Bless them both for such amazing attitudes. An inspiration!’ someone else shared.
In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant.
She was told she had stage zero breast cancer just one day before going into labor with her first child.
At the time, Timpf shared a post-surgery update to let fans know she was doing well.
She shared an image from a hospital bed of her legs covered by a gown with an animated ‘censored’ illustration over her feet.
In the caption, she made a joke about how much her breast size had been reduced.
‘Post-op! They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,’ Timpf wrote said.
She made her first reappearance on Gutfeld in mid-June – the first time she had been on the air since her maternity leave and her initial diagnosis.
Eventually Timpf shared that she had a healthy baby boy (whose name she did not reveal) and that she was cancer – and boob – free.
