Dee, 42, referred to the tweet Josie sent a couple of weeks back mocking the public for the free taxis she’s receiving now.
Appearing on This Morning today, Benefits Street star Dee said: “I was angered reading [Josie’s tweet]. I think Josie Cunningham should stop rubbing it in the tax payer’s faces that she is perfectly happy for them to be funding their taxes and her boob jobs and whatever else she wants to do.”

Mum-of-two Dee – real name Deirdre Kelly – first hit out at pregnant Josie last week, saying she gives people who have a genuine need for benefits a bad name.
Josie took to Twitter to reply to Dee’s comments, writing: “I believe the reason Dee is angered by my life because I doubt she is very happy with her own.
“I’m almost half of her age and not reliant on the benefit system like she is. I think Dee should stop making excuses, and get a job!”

Dee’s interview seems to have made Josie apologise for the tweet though, with Josie continuing: “I do regret my sticks and stones tweet, but it was done in frustration.
“However, Dee apparently thinks turning down jobs because they’re dull is in fact HER who is rubbing the tax payers face in it, but she’s one thing I’m not… SLY.”
While speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield today, Dee also took the opportunity to defend the claims that she has been working while still claiming benefits herself.
WHITE DEE: "I'M ASHAMED TO CLAIM BENEFITS – BUT WORK IS TOO BORING"
Addressing her recent promotional trips to Magaluf, she said: “the organisers paid for me to go over for two days. How do they know I’m on benefits? I haven’t been in receipt of benefits since the end of March.
“No one has ever asked me. They just presume that I’ve been doing all of this while still on benefits. You’d be stupid to attempt to commit benefit fraud.”
