A 24 year old mum of two and aspiring model from Leeds gets £2,500 worth of free dental treatment courtesy of the NHS because she is pregnant.
The news has sparked controversy with the public, outraged at the waste of tax payer's money as it was revealed that Josie Cunningham has also benefited from a £5,000 breast enlargement in a former NHS procedure.
All pregnant mums-to-be are entitled to receive free NHS dental care and Josie's case is no different. Admitting that she couldn't care less what people think of her she adds that although she didn't get pregnant to get her teeth done, 'it's a massive bonus'.
Unmarried mum, Miss Cunningham was previously working as an escort when she fell pregnant and hit the headlines last year, undergoing breast enhancement surgery at the St. James's Hospital in Leeds.
Increasing her cup size from a 32A to a 36DD, Josie claimed that she had been bullied at school for being flat chested and suffered from a condition where she didn't have any breast tissue.
The latest NHS dental treatment which will reportedly be carried out free of charge involves a dental implant, root canal treatment, a filling and the removal of wisdom teeth.
According to the Daily Mail Online, Josie was quoted as saying she was 'annoyed the free dental care would only cover a silver filling' then added 'I guess beggars can't be choosers'.
Delighted that the NHS is footing the bill for treatment again, Miss Cunningham confirmed that she is three months pregnant and entitled to receive NHS dental care.
