Naya Rivera has found herself the target of angry comments on Twitter after making a bizarre claim about "ethnics" on live TV.

The Glee actress declared that having a shower every day is "a white people thing" as she made her appearance on The View.

Moderator Nicolle Wallace responded with a nervous giggle and fellow panel member Rosie O'Donnell pointed to a shocked audience member who protested that she showered each day.

But Rivera was sticking to her guns and explained: "My mom is half black, half Puerto Rican. She showers every day so I can say this.

"But I'm now married to a white man. And he showers a lot, like two, three times a day."

Despite a barrage of criticism from angry Twitterers, she was unrepentant and later tweeted: "When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!"

When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!
