In a short video filmed at the airport, Katie told her followers: "At passport control, I've been through security and I've been detained, my passport has been marked for spreading racial hatred here in South Africa.

"I'm not sure what's going to happen, they've taken my passport away from me but it doesn't look like a this present time I'll be allowed to board my flight and leave the country."

She added: "Amazing security co-ordination from a country where police do not respond to white farm murders because they are 'on lunch break'."

Katie is in the country to expose what she claims are "military style attacks" being made on the white South African farmers.

On Sunday the Celebrity Big Brother star shared a photo of herself apparently collapsed on the street after taking ketamine.

The former Apprentice candidate, 42, can be seen surrounded by medical professionals and being given an injection in South Africa.

She tweeted: "Grateful thanks to the South African emergency services for putting me back together.

"Leaving it all on the road, to tell the truths not being told. Ketamine 1 / Hopkins 0."

Hopkins later added she was given the drug to treat a dislocated shoulder.

She says on her social media accounts that she is in South Africa documenting the "the violent, ethnic cleansing of white farmers by armed, black gangs".

In her blog Katie says of the killings: "It's infuriating, it's heartbreaking."

The mother-of-three suffers from epilepsy, which persisted even after she had brain surgery to help it in 2016.

She was rushed to hospital in July 2017 after dislocating her shoulder at a London train station as a result of a seizure.

"This is a legacy from her years with epilepsy," Katie's husband Mark Cross told the Sunday Mirror at the time.

Katie was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 19 and last year underwent brain surgery.

Back in March, she revealed the surgery was a success but it "changed" her and epilepsy had left her with weakened shoulders.

She wrote in the Mail, she said: "A brain tumour gave me four fits a night and seizures powerful enough to throw my shoulders from their sockets 43 times in 12 months.

"I got to know my local A&E night-shift staff pretty well. There were never any guarantees with the surgery."

Ketamine has both "proconvulsant and anticonvulsant properties" and should be used with caution in epilepsy patients, according to the Epilepsy Foundation.

It adds: "If a clinical seizure occurs during ketamine use, further administration of ketamine to deepen anaesthesia should be avoided."
