A Lanarkshire contestant on Channel 4's Naked Attraction who told police officers that she hoped they died from Covid walked free from court today.
Amira Nadeem, 24, made the vile comments as officers attended her home in Rutherglen on November 12, 2020.
She later coughed in the direction of an officer and was arrested.
Nadeem rose to fame on the hit TV show in 2019 as she was its first transgender contestant.
In 2020, she was cleared of taking a taxi which was involved in the racist attack of the driver in which two thugs were jailed for 38 months.
But, she pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
Sheriff Tony Kelly tagged Nadeem, still of Rutherglen, for eight months keeping her indoors between 7pm and 7am.
She was also put under supervision for two years.
The court heard that officers attended her home and numerous people were found in the living room.
Excessive noise and music were also heard.
Prosecutor Lauren Donnelly said: "Nadeem presented at the door and immediately shouted at the officer in an aggressive manner while gritting her teeth.
"She shouted 'F*** you, you p*****. I hope you die of Covid'."
She was told to desist but she continued to shout and swear towards them.
A woman was found in the property along with Nadeem's mum and step-dad.
They were all asked for their reason for attending at the property.
Nadeem continued to shout: "I hope you and your family die from Coronavirus."
Miss Donnelly added: "She threatened to cough at an officer and thereafter deliberately coughed in their direction."
Nadeem was put under arrest then stated that she hoped the officers caught Covid.
She was then held in custody.
Andy Iles, defending, told the court that Nadeem had underwent surgery at the time and was on medication.
The lawyer stated that the woman was her friend and had gone "check up" on her.
Mr Iles added: "Her parents were there caring for her as she was unable to look after herself after the surgery."
