Far-right British commentator Katie Hopkins will be deported this afternoon after her visa was cancelled overnight.
Ms Hopkins had been brought to Australia by Channel 7 to join its reality television program Big Brother VIP, but was dropped from the program after boasting about the ways she was undermining the hotel's safety protocols, describing the lockdown as a "hoax".
