Katie Hopkins has been axed from the upcoming season of Australiaâs Big Brother VIP after reportedly admitting to deliberately disobeying strict hotel quarantine rules.
Far-right commentator Katie Hopkins is being investigated by the Australian Border Force after allegedly breaching hotel quarantine rules in Sydney.
Earlier this morning, Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews confirmed she had directed the Australian Border Force to urgently review Hopkin s visa after she admitted to deliberately flouting infection control while in hotel quarantine in Sydney.
In a post on Instagram, Ms Hopkins said she was taunting the hotel guards by answering her door naked and not wearing a mask.

She also said she had been deliberately trying to defy hotel quarantine rules, by opening the door to hotel quarantine staff…naked.
Now, Channel Seven has decided to terminate her contract, according to The Guardian. This decision is in line with an out-clause in Hopkins’ contract with Channel Seven that says talent should not bring the network into disrepute. It also asks that overseas personalities comply with visa conditions.
“Seven Network and Endemol Shine Australia confirm that Katie Hopkins is not part of
Big Brother VIP,” Channel Seven in a statement on Sunday.
“Seven and Endemol Shine strongly condemn her irresponsible and reckless comments in hotel quarantine.”
