Controversial wannabe model Josie Cunningham has shocked the public and hit a new low after selling four ringside seats to the birth of her third child.
The baby, who she initially planned to abort to appear on Big Brother, is due to be born in October at her home in Leeds.
But this morning, the wannabe-model announced to her 27,000 Twitter fans that the four tickets to the home birth had sold out in just 14 minutes – netting her £30,000.
Three of the four tickets were purchased by journalists while the fourth is believed to have been bought by somebody described as ‘a super-fan’.
Two were sold for £10,000 each while the other two sold for £5,000 each. Ms Cunningham said all tickets include travel and accommodation while the more expensive ones will allow the ticket holder to film the birth and take photos.
On social media, reaction to the latest publicity stunt has been almost universally negative with commentators criticising her decision to make money from the birth of her child.
One Twitter user,posed the question that it was the British public who shared the blame for her fame as they have made Ms Cunningham ‘a viable commodity’.
However, Ms Cunningham has suggested that some of the cash from the event could be used to reimburse the NHS for the cost of her controversial breast enhancement surgery.
Ms Cunningham, 23, from Leeds, became a household name when she admitted undergoing £4,800 worth of breast enhancement surgery paid by the NHS to increase her bust from a 32A to 36DD.
She claimed she needed the surgery because she had been bullied since the age of 14 for being flat chested.
Later it emerged that she received Botox on the NHS over a ‘sweat problem’.
