See the the most hated woman in Britain: MS Josie Cunningham

She's the single mother of three who shot to infamy in 2013 when she appeared on the cover of a tabloid to brag about her free boob job under the headline: 'National Hooters Service'.

Nearly two years on and Josie Cunningham, aka the NHS boob job scrounger, has become a media sensation, regularly sparking outrage courtesy of off-colour comments on everything from breast feeding (incest apparently) to the identity of her third child's father.

But, she says, despite the lurid claims, she is far from being a scrounger and instead, is a loving, hard-working mother.  

The tale, about how she, a single mother on benefits, came to be given a free boob job on the NHS, sparked instant outrage in a Britain just emerging from recession.

'I phoned up and told [The Sun] that I've had my boobs done on the NHS,' remembers Ms Cunningham. 'I said I want to be a glamour model and [the boob job] has changed my life.
