Stan Collymore has deleted his Twitter account after being branded a "vile hypocrite" by ex-girlfriend Ulrika Jonsson for criticising online abuse.
The account belonging to the former England footballer, who has more than 505,000 Twitter followers, was taken offline on Thursday morning following a front-page story in the Sun.
Jonsson told the paper: "It must be horrendous to be vilified for your beliefs, your colour or your sexuality. In no way do I agree with trolling or abuse on Twitter.
"The people that do it are pathetic cowards. But Stan is too. He is actually one of the people he's criticising."
She repeated claims that Collymore was violent to her during their relationship.
Collymore's move came as radio station TalkSport banned mentions of Twitter after accusing the site of failing to respond to racist abuse against him.
Collymore, who works as a pundit for the station, has asked Staffordshire police to investigate "horrific" racist tweets.
