The disgraced broadcaster - who was fired from her LBC show in 2017 when she made comments about the Manchester Arena bombing, and was banned from Twitter in 2020 for “violations of our hateful conduct policy” - posted a video discussing Kate’s family tragedy.Hopkins took swigs of red wine from a glass, and laughed while mocking Kate, saying ITV would hand her a TV special and a book deal to discuss Derek’s tragic passing.
