Wannabe glamour model Josie Cunningham first drew public attention in 2013 after undergoing a £4,800 breast augmentation on the NHS. Earlier this year, she drew outrage when she said she would abort her unborn child to further her chances of appearing on Big Brother.
The 23-year-old later reversed that decision and is expecting a baby boy in October.
Now, she has decided to sell tickets for ‘fans’ to attend the birth of her child. Her latest move comes after a deal with a pound shop to sell DVDs of her labour fell through.
Speaking to Closer magazine Josie said; “I was gutted when the DVD deal was pulled – I was set to make thousands and wanted to share the precious experience. I realised the next best thing would be to sell tickets of me giving birth at home.
“I’ve had a bit of interest already. I’m selling two tickets at £5k each and two at £10k, which are VIP. All tickets will include travel and accommodation and the pricer ones will entitle the ticket holder to film the birth and take photos. I’ll use the money to pay back the NHS for my surgery and will spend the rest on my kids.”
One 29-year-old man has already claimed the first £5k ticket. Paul Mills-Ash said: “I’ve followed Josie’s career since she first came into the public eye. I’m using my savings to buy a £5k ticket. It’s a lot of money but it’s worth it. It’ll be great to say I was at the birth in years to come.”
