I bought a horse, got a boob job and a 'designer vagina' – being on benefits has never held me back

Mum-of-eight who hit headlines tells of taxpayer-funded lifestyle

- STAFF REPORTER

BRITAIN’S self-professed Welfare Queen says she bought a horse with taxpayers’ money - and used benefits to bag a boob job... and 'designer vagina' too.

Mum-of-eight Marie Buchan, of Selly Oak, has treated herself to a horse and health and beauty treatments over the past decade, despite spending most of her adult life on benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions, or DWP.

Marie, 42, has been in the system for 23 years and has received around £500,000 in government handouts.
