Katie Hopkins on her 3-stone weight gain (and loss): “I’ve proved you DON’T have to be fat – stop using excuses”

A typically festive greeting from the ex-Apprentice rent-a-gob, then

Katie Hopkins is feeling the spirit of Christmas, isn't she? You can tell because she's being so sweet and loving, showing only goodness and kindness to man- oh wait, no, sorry, wrong person.

Because the REAL Katie Hopkins has once again caused Twitter consternation by saying she STILL blames overweight people for being fat, despite going through her own three-stone weight gain and eventual loss this year.

Speaking to the Sun, the Apprentice loser said she'd "taken every excuse people use for being fat and crushed it".

"I still wouldn't employ a fat person after living a fat life. Being fat is hard work. You can't be fat and happy," she added, charmingly.

The 39-year-old media personality said she'd even stopped having sex with her husband, Mark Cross, because "fat people aren't sexy" and "a fat belly is not an attractive thing to shove in any man's face". We don't know about that, Katie. There's probably a club in Soho that caters exclusively to that particular predilection.

She went on to add: "As a fat bird, I stuck to pyjamas and getting naked in the dark.

"Knowing your thighs rub together when you walk is bad enough. Getting friction burns when your husband gets trapped between them is quite another."

Earlier this year, Katie announced she would be gaining weight for a new two-part documentary, which will air this week. In the process she went up from 8st 12lbs and a size 8 to 11st 13lbs and a size 18 - and right back down again, although she told her Twitter followers she wouldn't be putting out an exercise DVD.

"You will not be seeing a fitness DVD from me thank you. I may have a large nose, but I have pride darlings. Pride."

Katie Hopkins: My Fat Story starts Friday 2 January at 9pm on TLC.
