Hopkins - who has often drawn anger for racist remarks - had entered the country to star in the reality TV show Big Brother Australia. [Scarcely a recommendation for the program.]
On Friday she posted a video from her Sydney hotel room where she joked about putting frontline staff at risk. In the video, Hopkins said she planned to "lie in wait" for workers to deliver food to her room so she could open the door "naked with no face mask".
[Understandably] Her comments sparked widespread anger.
She also called lockdowns the "greatest hoax in human history". Australia's two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, are both in lockdown after local cases of Covid-19 were detected.
The post has since been wiped from her Instagram.
On Monday, the Australian government confirmed it had cancelled her visa, after the TV programme sacked her.
Police said she had been fined A$1,000 (£537; US$737) for not wearing a face mask, and was escorted to the airport to be sent back to the UK.

[Good riddance to mouthy rubbish.]
