Katie Hopkins responds after being kicked out of pub during England game

Katie Hopkins has responded after footage emerged of her being kicked out of a London pub during a World Cup match.

The controversial presenter attempted to watch England's opening game against Croatia last Thursday at a pub in Bethnal Green, East London, when she was noticed by several other punters.

It quickly became apparent that Hopkins was not welcome in the establishment, with a man telling the 51-year-old to leave the pub, to which she responded by telling him to 'f**k off'.

The incident quickly became more hostile, as several other customers then got involved, chanting: "Katie Katie you’re a c**t." Hopkins responds by waving her middle finger at the crowd, prompting them to chant 'out, out, out'.

She then appears to lose her temper, shouting 'f**k you' and showing a man who is believed to be the pub's landlord.

Punters began to cheer as she exited the pub, with Hopkins then appearing to push the phones of people recording her before walking down the street.

Hopkins has now responded to the incident, resharing a fan post from her Free Range comedy tour, which read: "Katie Hopkins may have been hounded out of a pub last night, but she got the last laugh at her sold-out comedy show in the capital."

The media personality and former columnist then thanked those in attendance for their support, writing over the post: "Thank you, my angels. You are the heft to my bat, the blade to my sword. I b***dy love you."

First rising to fame after appearing on the 2007 season of The Apprentice, Hopkins has become a controversial figure in recent years, due to her social and political views.

Hopkins' comments on race, immigration, social class and religion have led to her being accused of racism, islamophobia, fat-shaming and classism.

Most notably, Hopkins lost her job as an LBC radio presenter in 2021 after making comments made during the aftermath of the 2017 Manchester arena bombing. She was also banned from X, then Twitter, in 2020 after violating the platform's 'hateful conduct policy'.

Her account was later reinstated in November 2023.

The incident has since gone viral online, with one pubgoer speaking out about why the far-right political commentator was 'kicked out' due to her polarising views.

"The vibe of the pub was that people didn't want her there. I was surprised she was served at all," the punter, who wished to remain anonymous, said.
