Katie Hopkins has spoken out about The Apprentice star Stuart Baggs and his death

SHE'S usually very outspoken and shocks with her opinions, but Katie Hopkins decided to tone it down when speaking about The Apprentice star Stuart Baggs.

The 27-year-old businessman was found dead on the Isle of Man yesterday, and today Katie remembered him in her newspaper column.

 

Writing in The Sun, the mother-of-three said: "I met tragic Stuart Baggs a few times. I think the distance between Stuart the brand and Stuart the man was vast."

 

he continued: "Without a family or kids who need you, the media can be a tough industry to work in. It may seem glamorous or exciting, but kids couldn’t care less about that.

"Mine ring to ask what’s for dinner, where their favourite toy is or whether they can go to swimming club with their friends."

Katie didn't appear on the same series of The Apprentice as Stuart, but can clearly relate to the pressure of being in the public eye.

"Sometimes you need the mundane in life to remind you that what matters most is not being seen as successful, but helping the people you love the most to be OK," she added.

Meanwhile, Stuart's sister paid tribute to him on social media last night.

Writing on her Facebook page, Charlotte said: "Today my dearest brother Stuart Baggs gained his wings. To say we are all shocked and devastated is an understatement.

 

"Love him or hate him, he touched many people's lives from his TV antics to his amazing work with Bluewave Communications.

"He was the biggest character and will leave the biggest hole behind. Not knowing what or why makes it all the harder."

She continued: "Can't explain how proud I am of him. He was the king of following his dreams and making them happen."

Officers said the cause of Stuart's death was “unknown” but was not thought to be suspicious.
