Mum-of-three Josie Cunningham has revealed that she has returned to escorting after running into financial difficulty.
The 24-year-old claims that her recent arrest for sharing naked photos of ex boyfriend Andrew Goy has destroyed her ‘media career’.
As a result, Josie says she has been forced to return to escorting in order to pay for ‘hair extensions and to have my nails done’.
She says that benefits alone are not enough to cover her lifestyle.
The Mirror reports that she told a friend: “I didn’t have many options after being in court”
She allegedly continued: “It was benefits or escorting. Since all the cuts George Osbourne has made benefits are so low they won’t even pay my rent and bills and that’s more degrading than escorting in my view.
“I may be doing something I’m not proud of but at least I’m supporting my kids and giving them the life I’ve built for them.
“If I want hair extensions and to have my nails done and to buy nice clothes and toys for my kids I can’t do that on benefits any more. I have to earn money.”
One of her friends told the paper: “Josie knows it might seem degrading to others but she would rather be an escort than have a minimum wage job like working in McDonald’s or something.”
Josie rose to fame after she received breast implants on the NHS in a bid to become a glamour model.
She then shocked the nation last year after claiming she would have an abortion to go on Big Brother.
Josie decided against the termination, giving birth to a healthy baby girl named Grace in the autumn.
