Is this Hopkins woman for real (whoever she may be)?- or just so simply insecure in her own need to be recognised in her `celebrity` world that she cannot function without seeing her name in the headlines somewhere for any reason whatsoever- and I thought I had problems!- poor thing I genuinely pity her!

Surely her attention craving at whatever cost suggests some deep seated psychological imbalance?

As she appears to be a Sun columnist why doesn't everyone who has any connection with the spectrum boycott the newspaper?

Apparently she wanted to join the RAF, but was unable to due to been epileptic and has been bitter about it ever since. Don't know how true it is, but she has had Army training.
