The controversial TV personality said that participants would be better taking up acting than spending a night on the street
TV personality Katie Hopkins has sparked controversy after criticising an event which has raised millions of pounds to prevent homelessness in Scotland.
The former Apprentice contestant urged people not to take part in Sleep in the Park – a mass sleepout held in Edinburgh on Saturday night.
Hopkins said that participants would be better to take up acting than spend one night on the street.
More than £3.6 million has been raised already by Sleep in the Park.
Organiser Josh Littlejohn said he recognised that homelessness could not be ended in one night, but the money raised would result in a giant step being taken in the fight to help people off the streets.
