Single mother says she chooses to claim £20,000 a year in benefits rather than go to work so she can 'be there emotionally' for her six children by five different fathers

Sue, 49, from Walsall, has six children from five marriages and her youngest two - Jade, 12, and Romeo, 11, (pictured with her, right) - currently live with her.



She has been unemployed for the last ten years and receives £1,700 in handouts every month, including rent on her three-bedroom council house. She told Channel 5's On Benefits: 'If I could find a job that would pay the money and still live quite comfortably then I would be happy to do that. But the thing is you still have to be there emotionally for the kids. Who is going to look after them?'
