A policeman who tweeted abuse about celebrities and called for an estate from the TV show Benefits Street where he had policed to be bulldozed with "people still inside it" has been sacked after being found guilty of gross misconduct.

Pc Graham Wise admitted sending some of the offensive messages from the canteen of Cleveland Police's headquarters while he was on breaks, a disciplinary hearing was told.

He called former EastEnder Danniella Westbrook a "washed up cokehead with one nostril", described Gemma Collins as "fat c---" and called the tennis player Nick Kyrgios a "b---end".

The officer had previously worked in Stockton, Teesside, and had policed the estate where the Channel 4 show Benefits Street was filmed.
