The other day, she was pranked by a Welsh Twitter user:

@WelshFanZoneTV

I emailed @KTHopkins with a fake story about her Welsh Language Tweet using characters from Gavin and Stacey and she took the bait 😂😂😂🎣


Write-up here for those not familiar with Gavin and Stacey:

Gavin and Stacey fan pranks Katie Hopkins over Welsh language education attack

A Welsh football fan decided to prank Katie Hopkins after she sought out negative stories about Welsh language education online.

The owner of the Twitter account ‘Welsh Fan Zone TV’ sent the former Daily Mail columnist a fake story saying his son ‘Smithy’ and friend ‘Gavin’ were being bullied at school for speaking English.

The names of all the characters in the email, including the parents ‘Pam’ and ‘Mick’ and the teacher ‘Miss Jenkins’ come from the TV show Gavin and Stacey.

Katie Hopkins fell for the prank, emailing him back and reassuring him that his story would “help other parents. You are not alone”.

Meanwhile, she also got into hot water in Newport:

Parents voice anger as controversial figure Katie Hopkins turns up at Newport High School

...

Shaun Watkins said: "I do not think she should have been allowed to visit the school.

"Some of the things she has said in the past are outrageous.

"People in Newport should all come together and say she is not welcome here - especially at our schools."

Another parent Anna Parry, who lives in Bettws, feels "angry" that the controversial figure appeared at the site.
"I do not understand why she went there," said Miss Parry. "It looks like it was a publicity stunt. If she wanted to talk to teachers and other staff then why would you turn up on a weekend? No-one is there then. "Everyone is talking about it and trying to figure out why she went. "It all seems weird."
