The unemployed TV star has insisted that she’s ‘not doing anything wrong’ and will continue to claim benefits until the government stops them.

She told The Sun: ‘If people have a problem with how much I am getting, they should speak to David Cameron.’

It was reported that White Dee- real name Deidre Kelly- was earning money on top of claiming her benefits.

‘Yes, I am taking casual work. I won’t tell you how much I am earning but it’s not half as much as people think,’ she explains.

White Dee’s representative Barry Tomes spoke on her behalf.

He said: 'I have been in communication with the benefits agency since February when I first took her on, my last communication with them was on May 13. We have not heard anything back from them in all that time.’

‘Miss Kelly remains available to meet with the job centre team as we have previously told them. They have declined.’

The Benefits Street star’s benefits were reportedly stopped after pictures emerged of her partying in Magaluf.

Dee insists that she did not enjoy the appearance- which she was not paid for- as much as it seemed.

‘The pool party was not really my scene and I don’t drink, so the bar crawl was not my thing either.’

‘Do I have to stop claiming benefits because I spent two days in Majorca?’ she asks. ‘Would people be less upset if I went to Skegness?’
