Katie Hopkins has slammed the person who captured her not wearing a mask while on a long-haul flight – branding them a ‘stalker’.
The Apprentice star and social commentator reportedly angered other passengers on board the British Airways flight as she made her way to her seat in Business Class during the trans-Atlantic journey from Los Angeles to London Heathrow earlier this week without a mask.
Some passengers even claimed that Katie, 45, was ‘without her mask for the duration of the flight’.
The star has now slammed the individual who captured the pictures and spoke out.
She told Daily Star Online: “I am very disturbed to learn I had a stalker on my overnight flight and at the airport and will be alerting the authorities.

“I fear this small man has never seen a real woman before and was intimidated by my beauty.
“I suspect the last female he engaged with was the family goat”.
In a short clip obtained by Mirror Online, the 45-year-old was also seen in Heathrow airport without a facial covering.
Speaking to the publication, a passenger who wished to remain anonymous commented: “She went through the whole flight without wearing a mask. It was ridiculous and not a flight you wanted to be on.

“She didn’t wear a mask on the flight and wandered through Heathrow without one on as well.”
Heathrow Airport’s website states that “all passengers aged 11 and older are required to wear face coverings at all times within our terminal buildings.”
Face coverings are also mandatory on public transport, such as airliners since June but people are allowed to change them every four hours.

You are also allowed to remove them in order to eat and drink during journeys.
A statement released by British Airways on the official guidelines states: “We require you to wear a face mask at all times. As a guide they last up to four hours, so bring enough for the duration of your trip.”
Katie has been outspoken about her views on facial coverings and the coronavirus, often talking about them on her Instagram Grid.
After Sainsbury’s said they would not be challenging shoppers going into stores as “they may have a reason not to wear a mask,” Katie hailed the supermarket chain “little legends”.
