Katie Hopkins grinned as she landed in London's Heathrow airport this morning having been booted out of Australia for flouting the country's quarantine laws.
The ex-Apprentice star, 46, had been due to appear on Celebrity Big Brother before she was kicked out of the country for mocking its Covid regulations resulting in a £536 fine.
Under current laws Australia requires all British citizens to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine in one of its specifically chosen hotels.
However Katie, who called the Covid-19 lockdowns "the greatest hoax in human history" joked about how she was breaking the rules.
That led to her visa being revoked and Australia's Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews saying she was leaving the country "imminently".
She told Australia Broadcasting Corporation: "It’s appalling that this individual behaved the way that she did and she will be leaving.
“We will be getting her out of the country as soon as we can arrange that.
“The fact that she was out there boasting about breaching quarantine was just appalling.
“It was a slap in the face for all those Australians who are currently in lockdown and it’s just unacceptable behaviour.”
Katie, who is thought to have opened the door of her hotel room without wearing a face mask is believed to have flown business class with Singapore Airlines from Sydney after her visa was torn up.
The broadcaster, who is known for her contentious views on topics such as race, sex, class, obesity and migration, had recorded herself on Saturday making a mockery of the lockdowns procedures in Sydney and Melbourne.
From a hotel room, she laughed as she said: "The police officer who checked me in told me, when they knock on my door I have to wait 30 seconds until I can open the door.
"I can open the door but I can only do it in a face mask."
And she told viewers that a "game" she was playing was to try to get to the door as quick as possible wearing no clothes or face mask.
She also claimed to have invited members of the Australian army and navy who escorted her through the hotel to spend time with her inside her room. "I did try to get them to come into my apartment but they wouldn't," she said. "I think they were scared."
Katie has since denied breaking the rules reposting her video with the caption: "THAT Katie's Arms WARNING: EXTREME HUMOUR. I have never broken quarantine.
"My whole heart goes out to Australians and this brilliant country known for sense of humour. Families MUST be reunited, Auzzies need the dignity of work and lockdown is the Greatest Hoax in Human History. Do not give up my darlings. Bring Australians home."
However, it's too little to late for the star.
Australia's Channel 7, which broadcasts Big Brother, confirmed Katie has been dropped from the show after numerous citizens reported her Instagram video to the police.
Channel 7 said in a statement: “Seven Network and Endemol Shine Australia confirm that Katie Hopkins is not part of Big Brother VIP.
“Seven and Endemol Shine strongly condemn her irresponsible and reckless comments in hotel quarantine.”
