Katie Hopkins is to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe to take Dr Philip 'Dr Death' Nitschke's euthanasia machine for a test drive.

In July Hopkins advocated the introduction of euthanasia vans to deal with the problem of ‘too many old people’.

Hopkins will be having a go on Dr Death’s Destiny Euthanasia Machine, which delivers 100% pure nitrogen. She will be encouraged to press the ‘Yes' button to the question 'Do you want to die?'
