Awful Katie Hopkins has been reported by fans who slammed her for mocking Kate Garraway.
The right-wing media figure, 48, took aim at the Good Morning Britain presenter over the weekend, less than two weeks after she announced that her husband Derek Draper had passed away. In a video posted on X, Hopkins claimed ITV would release a documentary titled “Life after Derek,” adding that Garraway would write a book alongside it.
The former Apprentice star laughed as she said “he’s only been dead a week” before drinking a glass of red wine. Hopkins was permanently banned from Twitter in 2020 for breaching rules on “abuse and harmful contact”, but was reinstated last year when Elon Musk took over.

One person wrote: “Weaponising someone’s tragic death for your grift. Stay classy.” To which the mum-of-three replied: “Literally what Garraway has been doing for two years. Stay chubby. Avoid reading about #ExcessDeaths.”
Another user declared she had crossed a line by mocking Garraway, but this didn’t faze her. The former businesswoman responded: “There is. And what a marvellous line … many assume their line should dictate the line of others. Strangely lefty ‘comedians’ don’t have to worry about a line…”

While someone else branded her Hopkins a “disgraceful person,” but the columnist hit back with sarcasm. She said: “I have a lot of time for the Church of the Forgiving Eagle. I regularly attend the Chapel of the Hungry Beaver.”
In the video posted on Saturday (January 13), Hopkins began: “8.30 tonight there’s a documentary on the TV that you all need to watch, yeah, it’s a Kate Garraway documentary, so it’s important that I finish on time for you tonight. And it’s Kate Garraway: Life After Derek.”

She laughed, adding: “There’s also a book she’s releasing to go with the documentary… he’s only been dead a week.” In the caption, Hopkins claimed the the documentary is “allegedly sponsored by Fizzzzzzzeeerr”, referencing the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
Former political lobbyist Draper was hospitalised in March 2020 after contracting COVID. He became one of the UK’s longest-suffering COVID patients, spending 13 months in hospital. Draper died on January 5 aged 56, with Garraway and their two children by his side.
