A Falmouth mother who is alleged to have spent her benefits money on a £4,500 boob job has made national headlines today.

Kelly Marshall appears on the front page of the Daily Star, as well as in Closer magazine.

In the articles the 32-year-old, who has five children by four different men, claims that she and her children should not have to “miss out on nice things” just because she has never worked.

Kelly, who first fell pregnant at 15, claims almost £29,000 a year in benefits.

But the article reports that instead of spending the handouts on her children, she used the taxpayers’ money to boost her cup size from a 34A to a 34DD.

In the article she claims she now wants to spend yet more money on liposuction, Botox and a tummy tuck.

Her children are also expecting to receive £2,000 worth of Christmas presents this year and the family has already been on two foreign holidays since the beginning of the year.

Each of the four bedrooms has a flat-screen TV and she has a wardrobe purely for her jeans collection.

She is quoted as saying: “I’m not a working mum but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a good mum. People have this idea we are spongers. I’m not.”
