Back off, Hopkins!

That’s the signal amiable but no nonsense TV personality Lorraine Kelly is giving to the controversial motormouth.

Lorraine seems like the kind of person who would be nice to anyone, but she has revealed she draws the line at Katie Hopkins – stating she does not want her to appear on her TV show.

Hopkins likes to do the rounds on shows such as Loose Women in order to convey her usually questionable and always divisive opinions. But Lorraine is not willing to extend a hand of welcome herself.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Lorraine said: ‘With Katie Hopkins, now there is someone I’m not sure I could be nice to. I think that I’d draw the line there.

‘When people come on my show I treat them with the respect I would expect in return. But there are always exceptions. I don’t want to ask her on.’

That’s that then.

So for now, you can tune in to Lorraine on ITV in the morning without needing a cushion nearby to chew on with rage.
