Katie Hopkins has slammed Tulisa, saying she is like a "rotten tooth".

The controversial TV star - who recently hit the headlines for saying flame-haired children are harder to love - insists the former 'X Factor' judge doesn't deserve a second chance after she was arrested last month for allegedly facilitating an £800 cocaine deal for an undercover journalist.

She said: "I think it's the end of Tulisa. The British public aren't forgiving of drugs. It finishes off most people's careers. She's not the type of person I'd want my children to think was cool. She doesn't sound exceptionally bright to me.

"Tulisa's like a rotten tooth. A rotten tooth which someone has put a veneer over. Ultimately, it's only ever going to be a veneer, but we all know that it's rotten."

The 38-year-old journalist also blasted fellow TV personality Kerry Katona, who recently filed for bankruptcy for the second time, for being irresponsible with her money.

Katie added to new! magazine: "Someone like Kerry has been reckless with her finances. I have no patience. She's had more opportunities than most people would dare to dream of and she's managed to throw those all away.

"She is the epitome of everything that's wrong with our culture that wants to cash in quick and to be seen as successful."

Asked whether Kerry would make her employee blacklist, she quipped: "I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole."
