Katie Hopkins: Shane Warne makes me feel dirty, stay away Michelle Mone

Katie Hopkins reckons women need to stay clear of tarnished, used goods (men)

The news that Shane Warne may have spent four hours romancing Michelle Mone - bra queen of the North - has me reaching for the antibacterial hand wash.



The idea that someone would allegedly go for a taken man gives me the same dirty feeling you get from using a toilet on a train or touching other people's children.

Michelle has this week distanced herself from the claims about the famous cricketer. Either way she'd be the latest in a string of girls to throw themselves at the has-been sportsman.

And it made me ask the same old question again: Why do we fall for these used goods so easily? Where is our self-respect?



Russell Brand seems irresistible to women way out of his league. Even beautiful, intelligent women like Jemima Kahn want to be with him.

With Russell perhaps it is the lure of expertise - a man so well versed in the art of women he simulates sex on stage. Taking Russell for a test ride is like borrowing a Bugatti for a day. Engineered for speed and performance - he is a short thrill in the fast lane of life.

Unlike Brand the Bugatti, Shane feels more like the second hand car in the lot with a sticky handle. Having been ridden by everything from barmaids to ex-girlfriends of Hugh Grant, he even took his face to a garage on Harley Street to try to pimp his ride.

I reckon men like this have mastered the art of whispering in a woman's ear - becoming a secret they dare not tell but love knowing.  I bet some even believe they can cure them of their need to rut anything that moves.



I tried it with my first husband and failed. Katy Perry tried marrying Brand - that didn't work. Cheryl thought she could tame Ashley. She was wrong.

Men are programmed to be unfaithful. Over half of husbands admit having an affair. 74 per cent say they would if they thought they could get away with it.

Women cannot cure them. We are not doctors of discipline or sisters of fidelity. With some men you will have to resign yourself to the fact you are a temporary pleasure and you are going to have to share.

If you are forced to share, surely it is far better to be quarrelling over a Bugatti like Brand than an old banger like Shane.
