I found myself sitting next to her in the foyer at a tv company last year. A nose supported uncertainly by a fake-tanned torso. She was on The Apprentice, and now tours daytime Tv as a kind of rent-a-shock-gob. Like the dreaded Piers Morgan, she seems to feed off abuse, so in Oz she will soon be satiated.
Katie Hopkins shares her Publicity Agent with Mark Willams-Thomas. Always bear that in mind when listening to her spout off on This Morning and when he's pontificating his puritanical evil in the gutter media.

I did notice in her interview that she had a rather prominent nose but I don't like picking on people's body parts but it was weird that should attack others for simple things like red-hair.
I suppose it's an act which sells which is all you need today
She serves the needs of amoral broadcasters with too much airtime to fill. She's hired most often by the woeful This Morning on ITV. They will bring her on to say, for example, that all overweight people should be shot, or chavs shouldn't have babies, or whatever, then Phillip Schofield (the exemplar of what can happen to a decent enough BBC presenter when he 'goes native' on ITV) explodes with mock outrage and the programme gets an easy half hour of telephone calls denouncing the pantomime villain. When I saw her, presumably after her latest on-screen haranguing, she actually looked a tiny bit upset, as if it was all beginning to take its toll, but a few days later she was back to normal on This Week, making the normally laid-back Michael Portillo snarl with fury at the nonsense she was spouting. I suspect she regards every gig as merely another easy wage packet, but what a life.

I wasn't intending to aim an ad hominem snipe at her looks. I just got the impression that, knowing that her very personal insults of others are now her stock in trade, she's looked in the mirror to see what she can do to stop her comments being thrown back at her, so she's lost so much weight she now looks painfully frail in the flesh, she's embellished her faux-posh diction, got her hair done right and sorted out the 'right' wardrobe (painfully obvious snakeskin-print dresses - geddit? - counteracted by home counties pearl necklaces), so the only 'weakness' left is her hooter, which she deals with by getting a joke in first during her rants. It's all a bit sad, really.
I spoke to my good friend Prue MacSween today..a woman definitely after ITK's heart who has called me an 'idiotic Commie ratbag' in the past...and she is itching to take on this woman and has booked her on her radio show.

What a sensible person (Prue) she sounds !
Time someone gave me my own show - I would make James Whale (remember him?) seem like an amateur. It would be No 1 in the ratings !

James Whale last time I heard from him was on Men & Motors, when it was soft core channel and had old ITV programmes. Not sure if it is still on air on Sky seems to be forgotten, few people remember it I know.
James Whale has just done 4 years on LBC drivetime, bringing in decent numbers and from next month will start doing breakfast on BBC Radio Essex. A hell of a radio talent who stays in work.

Just wait till MY show airs !
The (record breaking) figures for Benefits Street will pale into insignificance as the public listen in to see what horrors I have found for them this week (of course, some will also listen in to see if THEY ARE the horrors !)

We did think it was called People's court is was bad TV.

Wished I lived in Essex again just to hear him again on the radio.
