Lucy Kennedy on Living with Katie Hopkins: ‘I don’t like her – it’s just TV’

The presenter lived with the controversial TV personality for her show Living With Lucy

Lucy Kennedy has revealed what it was like to live with Katie Hopkins.

The TV3 star is currently filming her popular series Living with Lucy – and the episode where she lives with controversial TV personality Katie is set to air next Tuesday, October 3.

Speaking about the experience, Lucy told the Irish Mirror, “Living with Katie was not a pleasant experience, I don’t like her, it’s just TV.”

“My feelings on the Katie Hopkins thing is I want to see how many people tune in, I’m not going to do any publicity around it.”

“I didn’t watch her on the Late Late, so if people don’t want to watch it, that’s okay.”

The news comes after Katie tweeted out a TV3 complaint about herself ahead of her appearance on Living With Lucy.

After Katie’s appearance on the show was announced, there was uproar on social media, with many saying that they would refuse to tune in to the episode.

Last year, RTE were inundated with complaints over Katie’s appearance on the Late Late Show.

In the complaint form she posted on Twitter, Katie lists the complaints she expects will be made after the episode airs.

“Katie Hopkins is an outrageous old cow bag and I hate her so much there is no way she should be allowed on TV,” she wrote.

“She hates fat people. She’s not Irish. And she supports Brexit.

“So all of her views are wrong and she should be banned. Or killed. Thank you.”

Lucy also lived with former Eastenders star Danniella Westbrook, who was “difficult to live with”.

However, the presenter admitted that Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding was one of her favourite guests.

“Sarah Harding is a sweetheart, but we ended up having a bottle of wine together in our PJs.”
