Suzanne Fraser - a 23-year-old woman from Glasgow who tweets under the name @suzanne_x - wrote: "you are a disgrace, you kept you job when you were full of drugs & cocaine with kate moss ya stuck up wee cow!! KARMA!! (sic)"

According to reports the army want to discharge Harry, and Steve Allison called her a "coke head bastard" for reporting him.

Tweeting under the name @steveallison4, he wrote: "Harry been told the top dogs in the army want him discharged! @lilyrosecooper a hope ur f***in happy ya coke head bastard? #harrysnotaracist (sic)"

Commenting on the twitter trolls and her re-tweets of the abuse she has received, Lily wrote: "Just a few examples of the drivel I'm being subjected to for reporting that guy yesterday. (sic)"
