Katie Hopkins tricked into flying to Prague to accept fake lifetime achievement award

The unbelievable prank was revealed after Katine's Twitter account was suspended on Thursday

Katie Hopkins has been tricked by a YouTube star into flying to Prague to pick up a fake lifetime achievement award.

Following the suspension of the controversial columnist's Twitter on Thursday, social media star Josh Pieters revealed the unbelievable prank on his Instagram, the Mirror reports.

He wrote: "Now that Katie Hopkins can’t read Twitter, I can tell you that on Monday I made her fly to Prague to pick up a completely fake award. Video up shortly."

In the video that followed, Josh presented Katie with a trophy for a lifetime achievement award at a fake ceremony for made-up campaign group The Cape Town Collective For Freedom of Speech.

Josh said he emailed Katie and invited her to Prague to accept their made-up award, dubbed the Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy.

He said she was "delighted" to have been invited,.

Josh shared a picture of himself posing up with the former Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother star as he handed her the trophy.

Behind them on a projector are the words "Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy", with massive capital letters spelling out a certain swear word.

Josh and his mate Archie Manner hired actors to join them at the fake ceremony, which they filmed with hidden cameras.

In the video, Katie claps and cheers as Josh, giving a speech, congratulates her for "melting the ice caps" of the "snowflakes" in the UK.

Josh talks about the hatred Katie receives online, and calls her an "inspiration".

As Katie gets up to collect her award, the screen behind her is changed to reveal the C-word.

Giving a speech, Katie says she's had the "most fun" that she's had in a long time.

She adds: "I am not used to receiving awards, it is strange, and it's strange to hear nice things being said about yourself.

"You sit there and you think, 'Wait a minute, are they saying that about me?' Whereas normally it is an incoming deluge of fireballs coming my way so it's kind of an odd thing for that to be tipped on its head, but I really do appreciate it."

She then takes fire at a number of groups of people with a string of controversial comments.

Many praised the YouTube star for his "ice cold" prank.

One person said: "Someone give this man a gold medal."

Another added: "You legend."

"Would've been nice to see her reaction after she finds out it was all fake," a third person wrote.
