WHITE Dee's sickness benefits have been cut after she said she is "not doing anything wrong", it has been reported.
Dee – real name Deirdre Kelly – jetted of to Magaluf where she was seen downing champagne, shots and pints.
The 42-year-old said she would continue taking state handouts until the government stopped her – and told those who objected to complain to David Cameron.
Dee – who was diagnosed with depression – was getting £214 a week from a combination of Employment and Support Allowance, Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit, plus £500 a month Housing Benefit.
But The Sun has reported that her Employment and Support Allowance – formerly known as Sickness Benefit – has now been cut.
White Dee's representative Barry Tomes said that all of her work arrangements have been reported to the authorities.
"Miss Kelly remains available to meet with the job centre team as we have previously told them. They have declined."
Mr Tomes added that her benefits may have been cut temporarily while she was working – but could be resumed if her earnings drop again.
Dee has done promotional work, made a rap record, DJ’d in her home town, hosted parties abroad and travelled to Magaluf.
It has been reported that she is making a cookery show in France and and may have agreed a deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
"I’m definitely not making millions, I’m not even earning thousands. I don’t want to make public how much I made but at the same time I’ve got nothing to hide.
“I report everything I make to the authorities. It’s up to them when I come off benefits.”
Dee hit the headlines after her stint in the Channel 4 documentary Benefits Street.
It showcased James Turner Street in Birmingham, where many inhabitants are on state benefits.
