Comedian Katherine Ryan says she will never stop calling James Argent and Leonardo DiCaprio "gross" for dating younger women.
The Canadian comic, who was among the winners at the National Comedy Awards last month, has been outspoken about the men's love lives in the past, calling them both "weird".
Katherine, 39, has made videos and tweets poking fun at TOWIE star James Argent and Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio for their dating history.
She says she has now become a "poster woman" rallying around the older men who date teenage girls.
The comedian hopes her teenage fans hear the warning she is giving them about dating much older men and will "give it a miss".

Katherine has called both men "gross" and "weird" (Ian West/PA)"But at the end of the day, I have somehow become the poster woman for rallying against grown men, powerful men, famous men dating teenagers. I didn’t choose that life, that life chose me," she told the Daily Mail.
"I don’t think it's controversial to say that’s gross or weird and I’m very happy to continue beating that drum for as long as it takes."
Katherine says she is not targeting her message to the men themselves, as she gets backlash from them.
She said she gets messages such as: "'Oh sorry he’d rather date a Ferrari than an old banger and he doesn’t want you', like I would ever give them the time of day!"
Katherine added: "I’m speaking to the young women because I happen to have the ear of a lot of teenage girls and young women.
"I’m basically Leonardo DiCaprio trying to get to as many young women as I can."

The TOWIE star and Stella have been dating for over eight months after meeting last summer at a wedding in Mykonos.
The pair bonded over their love of singing, despite a 16 year age gap and regularly see each other despite being long distance.
Katherine brutally took to her Instagram stories to express her thoughts on the relationship.

She cuddled her baby daughter Fenna Grace, whilst giving the camera an unimpressed look, and captioned it: "Me - a mother - finding out a 35 Towie star has an 18 year old girlfriend."
Katherine also took a jab at Leo, 48, on Twitter over his rumoured romance with 19-year-old model Eden Polani.

One fan asked the comedian what the 'crime' was because Leo and Eden are both adults, Katherine replied: "No crime just a creepy pattern."
Leo has been hit with the ongoing joke he only dates women under the age of 25. It comes after the Titanic star has never publicly dated someone over the age of 25 and has famously ended things with women shortly they turned the mysterious age.
