A MUM with eight children who reportedly claims £500 each week on benefits admits she's "addicted" to pregnancy and doesn't care what people think about her lifestyle.

Marie Buchan, 39, raises her large brood on her own and says she doesn't mind if people think she's only having babies for money. The former lap dancer pockets £26,000 every year in benefits in total, according to reports, and concedes people may judge her as "lazy" and "useless".

But Marie, from Selly Oak, Birmingham, says she is proud of her kids, and may have more children.

"I am addicted to pregnancy, I'm addicted to birth and feeding, I'm addicted to that," Marie said.

"I think a lot of people do see me as trash really. Lazy, useless, just producing babies for money."

When speaking about one of her children she said: "She's a happy baby. That's why I could very easily do it again."

The admissions have resurfaced on footage on TikTok, said to have originally been part of a Channel 4 documentary called Only Human in 2016.

Coventry Live reports Marie's children are now aged between six and 18, as she had her first when she was around 21.

As Mirror reports, the mum has also appeared on the Channel 5 show Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole where she claimed to work 21-hour days looking after her kids.

However, the mum has come under fire for appearing to use her state handouts to fund a lavish lifestyle.

She sparked outrage when she appeared on This Morning saying life was better on benefits and she would spend her wages on a boob job.

She was snapped in 2016 at a car showroom, eyeing up a Land Rover which then costed £70,000 when new.

And last December, Marie raised concerns over the pressures on parents due to lockdown after taking care of her kids at home for "most of the year" as schools were shut due to the pandemic.
