Cheryl Prudham was once again in the news last month when she revealed that her love rat hubby had left her while she’s pregnant with baby number 12.

But Closer can reveal that Cheryl - who’s five months pregnant - has incredibly not only taken Robert back but he’s agreed to have his vasectomy reversed so they can have yet more children.

The heartbroken mum, who already costs the taxpayer more than £39K a year with her giant brood, had vowed never to forgive him after discovering he'd been messaging another woman on Facebook. But Robert’s sworn he’s a changed man and, because she’s so keen for more kids, she’s taken him back.

MUM OF ELEVEN: 'IT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S FAULT I'VE GOT SO MANY KIDS- IT'S EASY TO CLAIM BENEFITS!'

The mum – who’s now on a waiting list for a seven-bedroom council house as their five-bed house is “too cramped” - is excitedly preparing a ceremony to renew their wedding vows after giving birth in July.

The 32-year-old says: “Robert said he’s sorry and we ended up in bed together because we love each other. He has admitted to sleeping around in the past but he said this time he had only been messaging a woman on Facebook. I believe him - he broke down and cried - he’s never done that before.

“He’s a good dad to the kids – just a bit of a b*****d to me. I’m not making excuses – but he tends to cheat when I’m pregnant. I don’t really want sex as much then as I just feel fat. We’re good at making babies - I’ve asked him to have his vasectomy reversed because being apart made me realise I want more children. And I get more in benefits with every child I have so I can afford a big family.

BENEFITS YOU'RE ENTITLED TO WHEN HAVING A BABY

The Prudhams have already enraged the public with the amount of benefits they claim - £39,192 a year on top of Robert’s monthly salary of £1,600 as a delivery driver – taking their income to nearly 60K. The family have avoided the Government’s £26K – a year benefits cap because Robert works enough hours to claim working tax credit.

Cheryl adds: “I have children because I love being a mum not to get more benefits. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be allowed to have as many children as I want.”
