Katie Hopkins has been forced to sell her £1million home.

The controversial media personality now rents a property after a humiliating libel case.

Hopkins moaned that speaking her mind lost her her career.

The former Apprentice star lost a £500,000 legal case to the writer Jack Monroe.

Ms Monroe won a libel case against Katie Hopkins in 2017, after the controversial former Apprentice star claimed - falsely - Monroe had defaced war memorials.

The far-right activist was forced to sell off her £1million Devon home and now rents after the case wiped out her finances.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Hopkins moaned: "I live in a rented, modern, four-bedroom detached house with my husband Mark and our three children, aged 15, 14 and 10.

"It's tucked out of the way for security reasons - our last home was rigged up to the local police station and had panic alarms fitted because of threats I received to my life.

"I was forced to sell it for £950,000 in early 2018 to pay off a legal bill in excess of £500,000."

Asked what her worst business decision had been, she said: "Arguably, not settling the legal case brought against me.

"I could have settled by giving £5,000 to a migrant charity but chose not to, and the ensuing court action and legal bills forced me to apply for an individual voluntary arrangement ."

And she claimed she learned nothing from being on The Apprentice in 2007, adding: "I 100% did not.

"However, I did learn that at the start of a recruitment process it's best to keep your mouth shut, listen and learn where you fit in - and only then have your say."
