For some time now - ever since CBB actually - I have reached a conclusion that Katie Hopkins DOES NOT actually believe 90% of the things she says, and that the 'hard assed', 'mean spirited', 'nasty cow' public persona which she projects is all a very calculating act.

Like Mylie Cyrus and a host of other 'celebrities', Hopkins KNOWS that being controversial will catapault her into the public spotlight, keep her there, and guarantee huge earnings which are far in advance of any mediocre talent she may possess.

There is also, sadly, a degree of immaturity about her - evidenced by the way she 'regularly gets 'carried away with herself' and even exceeds her own boundaries - much like that notorious occasion when those other immature egotists Jonathon Woss and Russell Brand let their massive egos get the better of their judgement when they insulted and offended poor Andrew Sachs over his grand-daughter.

One of my heroes, and probably the biggest braggadacio boxing has ever known - the one and only Muhammud Ali - determined on his 'boastful arrogant' act early on in his proffessional career after noticing how much money 'hated' and controversial braggard wrestler 'Gorgeous George' made compared to the more humble 'good guy' wrestlers.

One difference with Muhammud and people like Katie Hopkins - Ali perfected his 'act' with a huge amount of endearing humour, and for the most part, his tongue very firmy in his cheek, and it's a lesson Katie Hopkins should learn.

In any event, I do not believe that she is as nasty or hateful as she portrays herself to be, and nor do I wish this terrible, terrible illness upon her.

Here's hoping that she gets it under control.
