The Olympic gold medallist was questioned on Off The Ball about the comments she made on Twitter in October.

Can we move on and go on to the next one." So, is it not a fair question then?" I would argue, personally, speaking personally, that welcoming immigrants into the country can add so much to the culture of Dublin." If I wanted to do that, I'd go and I'd do a degree in politics. Her representative then said: "I think it's probably best guys to move on. I'm not a politician." I feel like you've brought that up to try and bring up a bit of controversy." Kellie continued: "That was a post in October, so I do feel like you are hanging me out to dry. On the video she said: "Hi Shane, just want to put there we've probably about five minutes left. I genuinely just feel if anyone posts anything on social media or says something in an interview those are beliefs that are strongly held and thought out." So I feel right now at the moment that you're trying to hang me out to dry. Vlaardingerbroek said in the clip: “I woke up this morning to see the news of another young European girl who was sacrificed on the altar of mass migration.

My thoughts in that moment were of that young girl and not any political opinion.

My god rest her little soul, gone far to young, at the hands of cruel evil people.” She added that she is “all about community, inclusivity and diversity”.
