She's known for her controversial views - and now it turns out that Katie Hopkins has been advised to have a panic button installed in her home by police at her family home in Exeter.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Hopkins revealed she was told she might need extra security measures because of her outspoken ways.

"Our house is rigged up to the local police station - that's just my life I suppose" - she said.

Katie has been inundated with death threats since 2007 for her views on everything from dementia and depression to obesity and immigration.

Recently, she spoke out about dementia - calling patients "bed blockers" and saying there would be "no point of life" with the illness.

Hopkins lives with her children Max, six, Poppy, nine, and India, ten, and her husband Mark. However, she told the tabloid that she had kept her children somewhat protected from the constant social media backlash after she expresses her controversial views.

"My children are somewhat isolated from it" she added. "They don't have iPads and they don't have phones".

She also said that her parents are kept away from her regular Twitterstorms:

"They don't go on Twitter. I just send them clips of me looking fairly alright".
