Katie Hopkins' Australian visa has been revoked, hours after Channel Seven ripped up her Celebrity Big Brother contract for 'joking' about breaking quarantine rules while in Sydney.
The British far-right commentator, 46, was given her marching orders on Monday morning following an urgent review from the Federal Government about her comments regarding Sydney's lockdown and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hopkins had uploaded a live video from what she claimed was a Sydney hotel room on Saturday morning during a mandatory 14-day quarantine, during which she described Covid-19 lockdowns as 'the greatest hoax in human history' and joked about breaching restrictions.

On Saturday, Australia's Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews ordered an urgent review of whether Hopkins has breached her visa conditions by publicly flouting quarantine rules.
The news comes after Katie was officially dumped from the upcoming Australian series of Celebrity Big Brother.
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 restrictions 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.'
Australia's response to Covid-19 has been praised by scientists including top US medic Dr Anthony Fauci, who called the country a world leader on 'containment and management of emerging variants'.
The country, which is geographically isolated from the European and American epidemics and enjoys a low population density like New Zealand, has imposed tougher border measures than most, including the UK - and imposed snap lockdowns to reduce community transmission.
While Hopkins 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.
