Columnist Katie Hopkins has topped a list of the UK’s scariest celebrities.

The 40-year-old who is known for her controversial comments was deemed more frightening than her fellow female stars.

Hopkins beat Weakest Link host Anne Robinson – who placed second – and Heather Mills in third – with 26 per cent of the vote.

The poll of 2,000 Brits conducted by Thorpe Park also found that glamour models – and enemies – Katie Price and Jodie Marsh scared 12 and 11 per cent of those questioned respectively.

Hopkins last week faced a backlash after she referred to a disabled child as "it".

Alongside a picture of Jaxon Buell - nicknamed Jaxon Strong - who was born with an uncurable malformation of the brain she wrote: "Plain wrong. If your baby has half a head, you don't have it. Cruel and inhumane."

Singer Pete Burns topped the list of scariest male celebrities with foul-mouthed celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey in second place and comedian turned political activist Russell Brand in third.

Former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne took fourth place while TV personality David Gest rounded off the list in fifth.

The poll was conducted by Thorpe Park to celebrate the launch of Containment, a new Fright Nights maze that will feature ‘Katie Horror Hopkins’ as its star attraction.
