He's come under fire for calling Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tilly Ramsay, 19, a 'chubby little thing' on his radio show.
Yet LBC's Steve Allen has history with targeting reality stars, previously calling Gemma Collins 'fat' and comparing her to Jabba The Hutt in a slew of cruel tweets.
After the radio presenter, 67, was called out in an impassioned Instagram post by Tilly by Wednesday, Love Island star Amy Hart also hit out against the star, revealing that Steve often called her 'desperate' on his show.

TOWIE star Gemma, 40, was the subject of several of Steve's cruel tweets that have resurfaced.
In one tweet posted in June 2014, Steve said of TOWIE castmates Gemma, James Argent, Bobby Norris, Harry Derbidge and Lydia Bright: 'That's Bobby and Harry, the really out to lunch Lydia Dim and her on off boyfriend fat boy fat Arg, who slept with the beach hut Gemma.'
Just a week later, he wrote: 'Poor poor Gemma, fat and boring, no friends apart from Bobby, known as little Ms misery. It's all going pear shaped, and how we laugh.'
In 2015, Steve took aim at Gemma's weight again as he compared her to the Star Wars character, Jabba The Hut.
Called out: LBC's Steve Allen, 67, has been called out for poking fun at Tilly Ramsay this week, with some even calling on the presenter to be fired
He penned: 'Apparently Gemma the hut does have a shop in Brentwood very near the Slug and Lettuce, insert own joke here……'
In January 2016 he made yet another jibe at Gemma's expense, tweeting: 'And now Gemma the hut thinks she might be pregnant….. Ha ha ha what doe you mean love, you think? Unprotected sex…..'
Gemma wasn't the only reality star to be picked apart by Steve, with Love Island contestant Amy Hart revealing she was also on the receiving end of his cruel jibes.
Speaking to The Sun, Amy, 29, revealed she had been called 'desperate and pointless' and said the radio host has even targeted her family because Steve knows her uncle as they're both members of The Magic Circle.
'I know he brings me up about once a week and my family. He talks about my family as well, about my mum and dad and how we are all so desperate to be famous.'

Over the years: Steve has made several fatshaming comments on Twitter over the years
Saying Steve seems to be 'obsessed' with her, Amy added: 'He says I have no talent, I am lazy, that I am pointless, I am desperate etc.
'We contacted LBC and they said he trolls everyone, it’s just his thing. I sort of just took that.'
It's not just celebrities have taken aim at, but even his own listeners, as he tweeted in 2013: 'Some poor creature suggested that many of my listeners are female and overweight, bloody cheek, nobody is allowed to listen over 10 stone.'
The resurfaced tweets come after Steve said of Strictly contestant Tilly earlier this week: 'I'm bored of her already. She's a chubby little thing isn't she. Have you noticed? Probably her dad's cooking I should imagine.'
Outrageous: The resurfaced tweets come after Steve said of Strictly contestant Tilly earlier this week, 'I'm bored of her already. She's a chubby little thing isn't she'
Tilly then responded to the savage remarks with a lengthy Instagram post where revealed that she was 'learning to accept' herself but had still been left 'hurt' by the shocking remarks.
While there has been an outpouring of support for Tilly and mounting calls for Steve to be sacked from his LBC show, Julia Hartley-Brewer spoke out in his defence.
The Talk Radio presenter, 53, claimed on Thursday's episode of This Morning: 'The issue is weight and teenage girls and obesity is a concern to doctors.'
But viewers were quick to disagree online as many took to Twitter to call Julia 'totally out of order' and question 'why can't people just be kind?'
Julia claimed during a video call interview on the show: 'Steve Allen is entitled to say what they want to say.
'The issue is weight and teenage girls and obesity is a concern to doctors. Obviously, a personal dig isn't nice'.
Fans quickly took to Twitter to rush to the 19-year-old's defence as they criticised Julia's controversial opinion.
Controversial: While there has been an outpouring of support for Tilly and mounting calls for Steve to be sacked from his LBC show, Julia Hartley-Brewer spoke out in his defence
One fumed: 'All this woman on This Morning is defending some kn*b on the radio making fun of Tilly Ramsay's weight. Get Gordon on the radio to ask him about it, but best be sure to get your sh*tting pants on first - kn*bheads. The poor girl is 19!'
Another added: 'That radio presenter was totally out of order shes only 19 for god sake thats going to damage her mental health... absolutely terrible. Why can't people just be kind ffs i dont see what her weight has anything to do with her being on strictly... tilly is beautiful.'
A third user wrote: 'Just heard Julia Hartley Brewer come on @thismorning saying freedom of speech entitles anyone to publicly comment on someone else's weight. Listen, I know I've been guilty of it in the past, as I'd bet we all have. But that doesn't mean it's right and should be encouraged!'
'The poor girl is 19!': Fans quickly took to Twitter to rush to the teenager's defence as they criticised Julia's controversial opinion
Another viewer wrote: 'The way they are discussing and justifying the comments made about Tilly Ramsey are shameful. She is 19 and the conversation was not about her appearance he mentioned it with no relevance to the conversation what so ever. It's bullying!!!'
'Just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean that you SHOULD say it smh,' chimed in another.
One fan questioned: 'Why are they sticking up for Steve Allen? he had no right in calling Tilly chubby.'
While another simply stated: 'If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say it.'
'It's bullying: Tilly's supporters flooded Twitter timelines as they took Julia and Steve to task over what they had said
Support was also shown for Tilly on the London Underground by the writers who post messages on information boards inside the city's stations.
They wrote a letter on a whiteboard inside Piccadilly Circus station that read: 'Dear Matilda, Hope you're doing alright?
'We thought we would write you this letter, well done for standing up for yourself against disgraceful behaviour and disgusting comments from people who should know better;
'You are spectacular on Strictly, keep dancing and doing what you do, today we are changing Piccadilly Circus to PiccaTILLY Circus to pay tribute to you.'
Elsewhere, Love Island's Dr Alex George wrote an open letter to Steve after he was 'horrified' by his comments about Tilly.
Strictly star Tilly was quick to thank Alex for his support, commenting beneath his letter - shared on Instagram - 'Thank you Alex for your support and kindness.'
In his letter, Alex highlighted that 'it is widely recognised just how damaging such comments about someone's weight are and the effect they can have on an individual's mental health'.
He also noted: 'We must not underestimate the impact such remarks can have, feeding into the perpetual cycle of weight stigma that still exists here in the UK.'
Alex captioned his post: 'Email sent. We stand with you @tillyramsay.To anyone affected by these comments please reach out to
