Chrissy Teigen has been hailed as "the best at Twitter" after she fired off a spectacular comeback to former Fox News host, Bill O'Reilly.

Teigen's husband, John Legend, played Jesus in a live musical version of Jesus Christ Superstar which aired on US TV yesterday. And Teigen was less than impressed when Bill O'Reilly, criticised the modernised production.

Watching JC Superstar on NBC. Who knew Jesus of Nazareth ran a tattoo parlor? Geez.

Teigen's response to the disgraced O'Reilly, who was sacked by Fox News last year over a series of sexual harassment allegations, was swift.

Teigen's tweet referenced the $32 million settlement figure that O'Reilly allegedly paid a network analyst who had accused him of sexual harassment.

According to the New York Times which broke the story in April last year, the allegations included "repeated harassment, a nonconsensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography and other sexually explicit material to her".

Teigen's fans were quick to praise the models witty comeback with one person commenting: "This was the most savage thing I've ever read".

Hello, police? Is it murder to dunk on someone to death?
