Addressing the issue of her won benefits, Dee said: “All I’m going to say in the subject is I’d be pretty stupid being in the public eye and doing anything illegally, or claiming anything illegally.

“I know in my head, and in reality, that I am not doing anything wrong, or I am not doing anything illegal, I am not committing any fraud.”

While Dee admitted her most recent trip to the Majorcan party resort was for work, she refused to confirm how it was paid for.
