LINGERIE TYCOON'S SWIPE AT HOPKINS
Lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone has unleashed another stinging attack on reality TV star Katie Hopkins.
The Apprentice judge is lining up women to model her new underwear range - but she said Hopkins will definitely not be among them.
Mone uses a string of celebrities to help sell her Ultimo Angel range, including Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding and Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster.
Several new faces will be unveiled in 2008 alongside current girls Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson and veteran rocker Rod's daughters Ruby and Kimberley.
But Mone said former Apprentice contestant Hopkins, who she branded a "disgrace to businesswoman" on the show, does not fit the bill.
Mother-of-two Hopkins, who also appeared in the latest I'm A Celebrity, Get me Out of Here, caused a storm when she bitched about her fellow contestants, admitted to snaring a married man, and was pictured romping naked in a field.
Asked if she was planning to ask Hopkins to become an Angel, Mone, 35, said: "No. She would not be suitable, both in terms of personality and looks."
The businesswoman added: "People know we didn't see eye to eye.
"I don't believe in anything she stood for and thought she gave women a bad name. I wouldn't give her any more publicity."
Mone changes her Ultimo Angels every two years, and puts potential recruits through a careful vetting process.
