An unemployed couple with nine children who claim £32,000 a year in benefits are demanding a bigger council house - because they are expecting their 10th child.
Jobless Lee Miller and Natalie Cann - who have a pet python - want their local authority to swap their three-bedroom property for a five-bedroom home before their latest child arrives.
The couple currently live in ‘cramped and appalling’ conditions in Bournemouth, Dorset, with their five sons and four daughters.
Their 10th child is due in five months and they are suggesting they withhold £253 of taxpayers’ money they contribute to their monthly rent if they are not rehoused.
Mr Miller, 40, has worked for just nine months in his entire adult life and had his Jobseeker's Allowance cut recently because he was not applying for enough jobs.
Despite having such a crowded home, the family have managed to squeeze three televisions.
They have a 50inch LG flatscreen TV in their living room, complete with a Sky Plus HD box and a Playstation 3 console.
