She won't be the first or even the last to be taken in by a spoof article.
Why it is only a few weeks ago that it was announced that David Attenborough had died, and consequently it was re-announced by an ABer on this site.

I possibly would - but then I don't have to think about anything before opening my mouth ... although, on second thoughts, neither does Katie Hopkins!
Because she does set herself up as such a hate figure, she will accept that she has to take it when the scorn rolls in, and will doubtless laugh it off and not bother for a moment. I don't think the embarrassment gene is included in Ms Hopkins's system.
Surely she should have a producer, or 'people' to check out these things before she comments?

There's a huge difference in posting something on AB, and broadcasting it to five million people...especially when it's based on a single news 'item' on a random website.
Also...a cursory look at the website would have rang alarm bells for most people surely.
Some of their other headlines:
- IT’S OFFICIAL! Government statistics show GRUNTING is first language of Basildon
- Southend SUSPENDED from CAPITAL OF CULTURE contest after TOWIE stars visit
- Essex and Kent residents evacuate as LAKESIDE/BLUEWATER peace talks break down
- OUTRAGE over dog placed on SEX OFFENDERS REGISTER after park incident
- MISTAKEN IDENTITY: Ice cream van DESTROYED by Islamophobic thugs as sign says ‘ICES’
(Sidebar - some of these stories are actually quite amusing).

A 'Bike Race' wasn't mentioned in the link I read
///It read: "The Orbital Committal, a race intended for only those crazy enough to have a go, is due to take place from 1-8 August 2016, and teams of four people are being invited to walk, jog or run the complete 117 miles that make up the second-longest orbital motorway in the world.///

That's a very broad demographic. I would suggest that some dislike strong women, but others (probably the majority here), object to the fact that as a random talent show failure, Hopkin doesn't represent strong women, so much as bloody lucky women.
