Katie Hopkins DENIES that she broke hotel quarantine in Sydney

Katie Hopkins has denied she broke quarantine rules in Sydney, after the British commentator was dumped from Celebrity Big Brother Australia. 

Hopkins, 46, who is currently undergoing mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine in Sydney, lost her spot on the program after saying she was 'laying in wait' to open her door to hotel workers naked, and without wearing a mask. 

The comments were made during an Instagram Live video made on Saturday, which Hopkins shared again to her Instagram on Sunday, along with a caption denying that she had broken the rules. 

'WARNING: EXTREME HUMOUR. I have never broken quarantine,' Hopkins wrote in her Instagram caption. 

'My whole heart goes out to Australians and this brilliant country known for sense of humour. Families MUST be reunited.

'Auzzies [sic] need the dignity of work and lockdown is the Greatest Hoax in Human History. Do not give up my darlings. Bring Australians home,' she added. 

Hopkins was dumped from Big Brother VIP over her comments on Sunday. 

In a statement provided to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday, a network spokesperson confirmed: 'Seven Network and Endemol Shine Australia confirm that Katie Hopkins is not part of Big Brother VIP.

'Seven and Endemol Shine strongly condemn her irresponsible and reckless comments in hotel quarantine.'  

Hopkins, who recently flew to Sydney ahead of her appearance on Seven's all-star season of Big Brother, caused public backlash over the weekend after claiming she was planning to deliberately flout restriction rules while staying in hotel quarantine. 

At 5am on Saturday, Hopkins took to Instagram live to post a speech where she 'called out' the lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne. 

During the video, Hopkins openly mocked the 14-day hotel quarantine rules revealing she planned to deliberately break them by opening her door completely naked and mask-free to workers who deliver her food.

'The police officer who checked me in told me, when they knock on my door I have to wait 30 seconds until I can open the door,' she says while breaking out into hysterics.

'I can open the door but I can only do it in a face mask.' 

While the controversial figure laughed off Australia's Covid lockdown restrictions and quarantine rules, the mother-of-three claimed in 2017 that she isn't 'anti-vaccine', saying all her children were up to date with their flu-jabs. 

Despite her amusement at her own antics, which she described as 'a game', other travellers stuck in hotel quarantine were outraged by her behaviour. 

Posting to the closed Facebook group 'Australians in quarantine facilities' one user wrote: 'This is abhorrent...some people are racing against time with the quarantine trying to get to family members. This is really cruel and sick.'

⁩'Anyone else who has just returned home like me, too ashamed to admit how ashamed I am of my own country
