Hopkins classifies herself as 'authentic' and there seems to be a bit of a debate as to whether she is really nice and putting on an act or whether she is nasty and playing a game of being friendly (sometimes) , in order to win. I know little of her previous TV appearances but know she was on I'm a Celebrity... and The Apprentice. How was she on those shows ( notably IAC) and in what way was she true to her 'authentic' self. How far did she get in I'm a celebrity...?

Anyone see how she was on these shows and was she any different?

I watched the series of IAC she was on and I don't remember much about her at all. I don't think she left much of an impression. I think she left early, first or second. I only saw a bit of the apprentice. I think she did show herself up a bit towards the end and came out with a lot of bitchy comments etc, but I think early on she was pretty good at the tasks and such, but my memory of it is not too great.

I saw her on IAC. She was with Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks. She didn't stand a chance against them and was quiet throughout her short stay. I think she did one trial and then she was voted off

ETA she also tried out for BB some years ago

I don't have enough info for you but, I was told when she was on I'm a celeb she was nothing like she is on CBB. I also seen a tiny bit of The Apprentice when the question by Alan Sugar asking her if she ever lied or WTTE and she said about taking someone else's husband because she wanted him (Behind the wife's back)

I also seen some old pics of her years ago (much younger) on the ordinary BB.

I thought she was horrible when she was on the Apprentice, like others have said she wasn`t on IAC long.

Thanks for the replies. I have searched and there is surprisingly very little on her IAC appearance, hence I thought someone who watched it might give a little insight. Perhaps her 'brand' only took off since then.

I think there was such big personalities that year that she just went under the radar. I watched the entire series and I can't remember anything she did. I don't think she had the reputation she has now, she was just a stand in that series if I remember rightly.

Cheers, I guess that show is a different beast anyway in that there is no need to form alliances at the offset.
