Whitney has gone viral on TikTok through her 'cost of living' videos - showing her children' poor meals.

The self-confessed "bad mum" of three brags about her relaxed lifestyle to thousands of viewers.

In a video she claimed to choose to be unemployed after forking an eye-watering sum of £1,151.90 per week in Universal Credit.

The video begins with her sharing a document of her benefit entitlement.

Ms Ainscough, 30, said: "Can somebody please tell me why I'd ever get a job when this is my weekly universal credits that I get.

"I mean, why would I get a job? I get your monthly wage in a week so why would I put myself out and get a job?

"I mean I'm living my f****** best life, f****** hell."

The post has already received more than 48,000 likes with fuming users sharing their disappointment.

But the mother from Rotherham has now hit back at trolls who shame her.

She said she won't work because "she earns more money on benefits".

She explained: "I earn normal people's monthly wage in one week.

"Everything is free in life for me, I live a luxury life on benefits and I drive a top of the range car, fully paid for by benefits mobility car."

However, people have slammed her for being an example of "what's wrong with the system".

One user wrote:  "It’s frustrating when my dad was really poorly with cancer and they told him he was fit for work and didn’t get a penny even though he worked 40 years."

Another added: "This gets me so mad but then I can't really blame anyone for doing it."

This comes as another young mother was mum-shamed for getting pregnant at 20 and living of benefits.

, a stay-at-home-mum, explained that trolls say she is “gross” for being a young mum and while many claim she is funded by benefits, she confirmed that they aren’t wrong.
