A Department for Work and Pensions claimant reckons she has made an eye-watering £500,000 a year by showing people how to exploit the benefits system. Whitney Ainscough, 31, has admitted to trying to "deliberately wind up" viewers to maximise her earnings online. "I was shameless about bragging about my benefits," Ms Ainscough told the Sun. "I knew the more I bragged about getting Universal Credit , the more trolls and followers I’d attract." The DWP Universal Credit mum went on and told the tabloid: "If you want to label me a scrounger that is fine - it means I get more cash in the bank."

I even make hundreds from posts about what I eat for dinner. “It’s hilarious the Prime Minister has to work more than a 100 hours a week. I am set to earn double that on social media, winding up trolls and dancing in my kitchen.” She added: “I get a lot of hate online – I don’t care. Without working online I wouldn’t have got my operation. I feel so much more confident in my looks now and lots of clothing brands want to work with me. “I can work around my three children and give them an amazing lifestyle. We get a lot of luxuries – so far we’ve been on holiday twice this year, I’ve bought a Range Rover for cash and am hoping to get a mortgage soon too.” She said: “I started off just making funny packed lunch videos and went viral straight away. “My daughter asked me to join TikTok but I wasn’t sure why, there just seemed to be so many perfect parents on there so that’s why I decided to become badmom."
