BRITAIN's most shameless scrounger eyes up a flashy new motor - despite living on state handouts.

Mum-of-twelve Cheryl Prudham, 33, rakes in £40,000 a year and is planning a 13th child by sperm donor to increase her benefits.

Our exclusive pictures show her out shopping for a new ride at a showroom in Wigan.

She was like a kid in a sweet shop as she picked out her favourites and was seen looking very closely at a 2012 BMW X5 4.0d Sport on sale for £26,995.

She also eyed up a flashy red 2013 Mercedes C220 CDI AMG Sport Plus, priced at £17,495, and had a go sitting in the driver's seat.

It is not known if she followed through with a purchase.

Benefits Queen Cheryl has been branded Britain's most shameless mum and has told of her ambition to have a boob job to increase her chest to a "ridiculous size", paid for out of her £40,000-a-year taxpayer handouts.

Last month the baby machine sparked outrage as she revealed she is searching for a sperm donor to give her a THIRTEENTH child as "another baby would mean more benefits so the more the merrier".

Pregnancy addict Cheryl gave hubby Rob – dad to six of her kids – the elbow after he had a sordid threesome with his cousin and another woman weeks after she gave birth to baby number 12.

But she said she was already feeling "broody" again and “there’s no need for a dad” when adding to her mega brood.

Furious This Morning host Holly Willoughby let rip at feckless Cheryl after she boasted on the show she treated herself out of her benefits to a Mulberry handbag costing hundreds of pounds "for Mother's Day".

Holly fumed: “There’s lot of hard working people out there, times are very tight.

“People are very very stretched, they’re trying to make it work. Lots of people would like a second or third child but can’t afford it.

“Do you think it’s fair you’re in this situation now, having a thirteenth child?”

Cheryl shrugged: “I don’t make up the rules at the end of the day and I’m not the government.

“If that’s what they’re giving me that’s what I’m taking. I’ve got nothing to be sorry for.”

Cheryl, of Skelmersdale, Lancs, added: “I can see why people who work fifty hours a week get annoyed, but I don’t make the rules.

“When I look at my kids I see twelve future taxpayers.”

Cheryl has reluctantly had to start working sixteen hours a week to work as a cleaner to avoid the £26,000-a-year benefits cap.

She scowled: “I have no choice. I have to work those sixteen hours and I don’t have the time with twelve children.

“But I have to, to avoid the benefit cap.”

She also dreams of having plastic surgery and boosting her chest to a “ridiculous size”.

She said: “I could save up and pay for it out of my benefits. Lots of women have boob jobs, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

In January it was revealed she planned to use £4,000 of taxpayers money on a boob job.

She said: “I’ve spent most of my life having babies and I wanted to treat myself and concentrate on me for a bit.

“I’ve had offers of dates but I can’t be bothered with men any more and I’ve realised having babies makes me happy.”

Last month we told how shameless mum-of-eight Marie Buchan - nicknamed Octomum - was planning a £4,500 boob job after boasting of her "easy life" raking in £31,000 a year benefits.

The jobless mum, who appeared on a documentary with Myleene Klass, was also spotted out shopping for a brand new Range Rover worth £70,000.
