Hopkins debt battle after £107k law bill

- BY EMMELINE SAUNDERS

RIGHT-WING commentato­r Katie Hopkins is on the verge of bankruptcy after racking up a £107,000 legal bill in a libel battle defeat.

She has sought an Individual Voluntary Arrangemen­t to pay creditors, seen as the last move to avoid being declared bankrupt.

Apprentice star Hopkins, 43, sold her Exeter home for £950,000 in February.

Her 18-month legal fight came after tweeting equality campaigner Jack Monroe: “Scrawled on any memorials recently?”

She had confused Jack with another activist and refused to apologise.

Jack tweeted: “For the want of an apology, a house, a job and now financial solvency were lost. It’s all very sad.”

Hopkins did not respond to a request for comment.
