Katie Hopkins’ followers often tweet pity towards Katie Hopkins’ husband. Who is this elusive creature who puts up with Britain’s most controversial character on a day-to-day basis?
Mark Cross married 39-year-old Katie in 2010, and following her entry into the Celebrity Big Brother house he is now campaigning for his wife to win the series.
“She would be really heartened by it if she did end up winning,” he told The Sun.
“She might be tough but everybody needs a confidence boost.
“It would be great for her to be able to say, ‘I might be the most hated woman in Britain, but deep down, people do at least respect me’.”
Katie has won over fans during her time in the house as people get to know the ‘real’ woman behind the tweets.
“I know the person behind the headlines,” Mark says.
“Interviewers, even camera crew, and particularly people she has slagged off, all expect to hate her.
“But once she sits down with them, she’ll build up a rapport.
“She’s really good at that — and they’ll end up getting on well.
“Katie has an opinion on everything. So what you see in the house is pretty much what I live with on a day to day basis.”
Mark even admitted that he has trouble agreeing with her controversial views.
He explained: “There are times when she’s not giving an opinion, but they are rare. I don’t always agree with her, in fact thereare loads of things we disagree on — actually pretty much everything. Given how well we get on it’s surprising.”
