Nadia is a coward.”
I very much doubt Katie and Nadia could have that kind of conversation. At the moment Katie thinks she smells blood with Nadia - hence the calculated baiting.

That is a Katie Hopkins view that she has worked hard to get the house to accept as truth - either ostracise Perez or you are a Perez supporter - no middle ground.
And I saw Keith Chegwin take the easy social acceptance route. Nadia doesn't look fake or stupid to me. She is doing her very best to maintain her own judgement in the face of some awful social bullying. I find that quite inspiring to be honest - I don't know I could be that strong.
But I hate how Katie is finally getting under her skin with her repugnant baiting.

Yes - and yes.
I've know idea whether I'd even like Nadia in real life (I've never seen Loose Women and have no reference outside this series). But she has defended her own self respect well. I do think the fishwife will out in the end though - Katie will not rest until that happens.
It's a political statement I think. Katie detests liberal left wing thinkers. Nadia represents that political standpoint so she detests Nadia and will do all she can to turn others against her.
