Katie Hopkins' Best Quotes
Series three of The Apprentice gave us the inimitable, formidable Katie Hopkins. If televisual entertainment alone was the criteria for winning, she would've had the show sewn up by episode two (with Tre Azam as runner-up). An alpha female who described herself as "a ruthless natural leader with a huge drive", she was sponsored through university by the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. Prior to signing up for The Apprentice, Katie was a jet-setting management consultant; she claimed she could "out press up" most men and y'know what? I almost believe her.
Early on, it seemed as if Tre would be the star of the show, but Katie quickly usurped him to become the candidate we all loved to hate. Her wide eyes and acidic tongue were a killer combination and she wasn't above combining cutthroat quips with nauseating Lady Di-style flirting with an immune Sir Alan in the boardroom. Her toxic relationship with series three runner-up Kristina Grimes was hilarious and as for whatever she did with fellow contestant Paul Callaghan, let's not go there. Little wonder she was snapped up for 2007's I'm A Celebrity and has remained in the public eye…albeit not for the most positive of reasons. In our gallery below, we celebrate the wonder that is Katie Hopkins with some of her choice quotes from series three
