Always declare your media interview money
The mother of a reality TV show winner in Britain has admitted to wrongly claiming income support and council tax benefits. Former pop star and TV presenter Kerry Katona was a season winner on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! - a kind of Survivor for the famous. According to the Press Association, her mother, 48 year-old Susan Katona
…failed to notify the benefits office of a change of circumstances between July 2006 and March 2007.
It was alleged the overpayment was made because Katona failed to declare her income from media interviews about her daughter…
Don’t know why she didn’t try the obvious defence strategy: the media don’t pay for interviews. Do they? 
BTW, does it seem odd that the mother of a celebrity was on income support in the first place?
