Katie Hopkins confronted in the street by furious man: 'Get out of Wales, nobody wants you here' [View all]

She's infamous for her controversial opinions.

And, while that's certainly never stopped her from causing offence, Katie Hopkins has faced the reality of her outspoken ways.


The 43-year-old TV star was confronted by an angry critic in Cardiff who told her she was 'unwelcome' in Wales for her views on 'immigrants, people benefits, the sick and disabled'.

In the video, Hopkins is seen holding a microphone near House of Fraser in the city centre trying to ask passers-by about the Welsh language when her interview is cut short.

Reg Phillips, 21, confronts Hopkins by shouting: "You're not Welsh, get out of Wales, nobody in Wales wants you here, nobody in Wales cares about you."

Explaining his actions, Reg, from Cardiff, said: "I wanted to disrupt her in the most ridiculous way possible.

"She is a beacon of the sort of attitudes that are wholly unwelcome in Cardiff and Wales as a whole.

"It's important to remember that her anti-Welsh views are just the tip of the iceberg of her Trump-style incitements.


"She should be firmly told she is not welcome wherever she shows up and that we stand with immigrants, Muslims, people on benefits, transgender people, the sick and the disabled, lower class people and everyone she incites against.

"Katie Hopkins has no business commenting on the Welsh language, neither does any other English person. Her hateful attitude is not welcome here."


Awesome. She needs to be dogged where ever she goes.
