Apprentice villain Katie: 'I'm no home-wrecker...but I am heartbroken'

The Apprentice villain Katie Hopkins has boasted about her conquests of married men and hit back at critics who condemn her as a home-wrecker.

Ruthless Katie, 32, took herself out of the competition when challenged by Sir Alan Sugar about her willingness to relocate her two young children from Exeter to Brentwood.

Now she claims she is 'heartbroken' after being dumped by her latest married lover, according to the News of the World.

Two weeks ago she was pictured romping in a field with Met Office work colleague Mark Cross, 43.

But in an interview with the red-top she revealed she has been dumped by the already-married Cross.

She said: "Now Mark's back with his wife. It's hard. I'm going through hell."

She has also defended her relationship with Damian McKinney, a father-of-three who had three children, saying he was separated from his wife and was living in London while his family remained in Devon.

She also claimed he had been unfaithful to her and that she was devastated when he left her. Ms Hopkins said: "He was a good looking version of Sir Alan. He had this incredible charisma. When he walked into the room you just knew he was there, he was a brilliant man.

"I took an interest in him at a time when clearly no-one else was doing it. I was there for Damian at that time and we became very close.

"Since I left the TV show I'm the one who's been made out as nasty, but there is another side to the stories. Damian was unfaithful to me and left me devastated."

Katie has two daughters, giving birth to India in September 2004 and Poppy a year later.

She said motherhood was fantastic and she loved spending time with the girls but staying at home would not have been fulfilling enough for her,

Katie also lifted the lid on her relationship with fellow Apprentice contestant Paul Callaghan, admitting they had sex in the Apprentice house, but condemned him as a "sap".

She said that she had expected to do well on the Apprentice but would love to become a Conservative MP as she admired Margaret Thatcher.

She added: "I'm not saying I will deliberately pick on a married man. But at my age, and the level of man I go for, they don't tend to be single."
