I had the pleasure of working with SB this weekend at an exclusive event. She was a part of the staffing team. I complimented her on her style and she began to tell me she is a professional model. She also mentioned that she had been on this program, hence my reason for watching now. Not only is SB physically beautiful, but she also has a gorgeous soul. Looking back at her struggles several years ago documented on Benefits Street, I never would have thought this working alongside her. A wonderful and capable woman who is welcome back at future functions! :)
I used to think like that, nothing good happens to me, I’m the unluckiest person in the world, my life is rubbish. Until I changed my thinking that was my life but you can switch from being a negative thinker to a positive thinker and when you do the world changes around you. I was an overweight heroin addict who didn’t look after myself, since I’ve changed my thinking I’ve gotten a job that I love, I’ve lost 8 stone in weight, I’ve taught myself how to play the guitar, I’m in a routine of exercise and healthy eating, I’ve stopped smoking and drinking and my life has completely changed! All because I’ve changed my perceptions of myself and the world when you do that the world around you changes and I’m living proof of that.
This was so wonderful to hear, that you put the effort in to changing your life for the better. It would not have been an easy journey for you, a lot of determination I would imagine, and you came through a shining star. As one already commented, we get one chance of life ..so live it happily and healthily, congratulations on such a fine, fine effort! Blessings🙏
Not easy when someone goes through domestic violence, starting over is scary with ptsd, depression but for the kids, to give them peace and happiness is worth it. Things will get better... slowly but will get better
I started out pregnant at 19. I lived in a basement flat with my baby and my sister. It was in London in 1975. It was a struggle. I’m 69 now. I’m not rich. I’ve worked to get what I have. No one gave me a thing. I was determined that my kids wouldn’t grow up in commission housing. They didn’t. I built a little house which I and my kids loved. It was home. You can do it.
Maybe don't talk about a time where everything was easier and apply it to now. We're now in developed capitalism, aka a hellhole so your advice is outdated.
I grew up in government housing around people like this. Druggies, single mothers with multiple kids to multiple men, ex cons. Being around that motivated me to work hard because i saw what my future looked like. I'm now a nurse, own my own care and have money in the bank. I flipped the switch. Unfortunately many of the kids i grew up have continued that cycle.
Same here. Growing up in the projects (Detroits version of the council houses), lit a fire under me! I kept a job. Retired & disabled now, that I’m older. But, without working I wouldn’t have my social security or pension🤷🏽♀️
SB is beautiful and I hope she can break free of the poverty and get back into modelling. She looks like she could do catalogue or runway! Good luck to her !
It appears that most of the people portrayed in this story are capable of working. I wish the mom of the teenager would set a higher example for her children. The mother should have gone to watch her daughter race, get involved with her. Help her achieve her goals and dreams.
GO SB! YOU HAVE DONE SO WELL!! CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉🎉 You had tough times but you fought yourself out of it and that’s something to be proud of, sweetheart! I heard that she became successful as a model and was able to leave James Turner St. behind.
These fathers need to have their asses dragged into family court and made to contribute to their child’s up bringing. I don’t care if the fathers are even on benefits themselves…they should be made to contribute something, no matter how little their income.
Having no job is not as great as it seems. I am on Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) here in the United States and, through no fault of my own, I can’t work. I was on life support about two weeks ago due to a 17th bout and extremely serious bout of pneumonia that almost killed me. I also have several other dangerous medical conditions that are preventing me from working. Thank God I’m still alive today. I worked for 31 years and I do miss it. I am going back to church again tomorrow and I’m REALLY looking forward to that. My pastor visited me several times in the ICU and on the regular ward when I was in the hospital. He talked to me and prayed with me. He is truly a man of God. I have had so many serious medical issues over the last 20 years that my doctors are really surprised that I’m still alive today. I was able to work until a few years ago when I had to stop because I just got too sick. I miss having a job.
I'm in a similar situation being on ssdi and wanting to work but my body won't allow it. I miss it too. Stay strong and keep fighting! There's a reason for everything and reason you're still here! I don't go to church but I'm glad your faith is strong and your church there for you. You got this!
Armed robbery of a mc Donald's, best laugh I've had in a long time 🤣try that in the Philippines they have a security guard with a shotgun standing outside
lol reminded me of my own "mum". never worked a day in life and criticised me and everything when i began working earlier this year. kept trying to convince me that i "don't need this job" and that i can claim on her carers allowance despite me not even caring for her (i live on my own). i love working. i signed on once in my life for 4 months as i was sofa surfing. absolutely hated it, i find working way less stressful than claiming. plus working means you actually have some sort of a life!
And still nothings changed. Many people where I live claiming benefits and no intention of ever woking. No stress life, housing all paid, smoking drinking, takeaways. Broken Britain. Meanwhile we don't have enough NHS or care staff.
Not to be rude, but you can understand why Funguy's son's new parents don't want anything to do with him. It could be quite a shock to his son seeing him as he is and maybe it is better to keep him away until his son is over 18 and and can then decide himself if he wants to see him. Clearly wouldn't be a positive role model. He lost any rights when he signed his son away.
Agree. Find a job that's readily available now for the short term. And look for modelling work on the side. I feel so bad for her and the dead beat dads who do nothing for their children. 🤬
@@nnyv0040 It''s sad to see guys mot stepping up and doing all they can for kids they are responsible for. It doesn't matter whart you do in your spare time as long as you're working and contributing towards their upbringing.
Modelling is work. Not a hobby. And she has accumulated a good portfolio, experience, skill set and likely references. It's not like she's never modelled before and dreaming of becoming one.
How can you be telling your kids to sign on benefits and sit at home rather than look for a job or build a career for yourself? I thought it was meant to be a safety net to help those looking for employment, not to stay unemployed and never look to better yourself. If you're fit and healthy you should at least be looking for work and be a role model for your kids, otherwise they will simply follow in your footsteps and achieve nothing in life and we only get one shot at it so why not try to make the best of it as possible. Feels such a waste otherwise if you have no ambitions or goals. Without a decent education which gives you choices about how you want to live and not be constricted by a low income you will always struggle with low paid jobs. The African guy has the right attitude when he said he you don't work you don't eat and has brought that same ethos with him to the UK. There are plenty of jobs out there, you just have to be willing to do whatever it takes. Since Brexit there are many jobs available with so many foreign workers returning home, but are they getting filled? Not from the reports.
As soon as they hit rock bottom they want to come back about they miss their family. So many men do this all the time. The nursing homes and long term care😔 homes prove this 🤷🏽♀️
White Dee annoys me She is trying to talk her kids out of getting work, saying that having a job would make them abnormal Sweetie, your street and lifestyle is unusual
1:27 the fact she thinks that’s a flex. 2:45 and she’s clearly trying to encourage her kids to go on benefits their whole lives. absolute disgrace of a mother
Children become who they are from how they are brought up! Those kids, when becoming adults will have experienced and seen the life of benefits dependant people, that being their mother! They can choose to follow that life or decide to want more in life!
@@originalunoriginal4055 Sorry mate I meant the bit theyre referencing in the original comment being a flex. 1:23 What does she say? Sounds like I'm never living out my kids
Hope catlin is doing well in her life 🙏everyone really well done to the mum you are a model and too your kids aswell a role model. That's the gift.Irish ❤
Birmingham is a dump city its full of local people who are rif raf everyone who lives there is rough as hell many are very miserable , racist and areas are segregated and divided , badly run council lazy don't care for the city , Birmingham is a mess all cuts and no investment in local areas.
SB would have got on really good if she was prepared.. She gave her walk and when they asked why she should be here, she gave 1 sentence answers, she should have elaborated.. That's all, she should have said "It's something I've always wanted to do because........" and "this is why I love this....." etc.. She could have almost made a conversation with the judges instead of 1 word answers... Just my opinion
For those gassing about white Dee, she's a typical salt of the earth british mother. She is laughs and banter. Bright side of the coin type thing. Council estate living isn't easy. It's a challnge in itself.
It's not an estate though. It's a street of privately owned houses (albeit ones rented out). Nothing to do with council housing. Dee makes working class people look bad, and makes people who have no idea about hardship think benefits are wasted on people who have no interest in contributing (it's supposed to be a safety net not something you rely on permanently). I don't know her story so I won't judge, but I also won't celebrate her. She is a fucking character though!
@@muzi2672 it's a perfect example of landlords that don't give a fuck but cream the system too. Look at Fungis House. No electric or water. Disrepair but paid for by the state and no responsibility on the owners behalf because Fungi is seen as a lesser being. It's not an estate you're right but it has all the characteristics and characters to boot with the same working class (lower class closeness). Community etc. Looking out for each other. There is more to say about the rich not paying their share which makes services and support unfundable for the poorest in Britain. Lack of youth groups, community interest groups. No funding for supporting these disadvantaged people. It's a shame. I've met Dee, she's lovely. Especially after her break she was able to kick start her life again. It's a shame it took ridiculing her amd her kin for that to happen. I know people like everyone in the series. The forgotten. Is what it is though. There are opportunities for folk but sometimes people need support which isn't there when it's needed without lily padding to gain it.
@@janes9264 fair play to her. People knock folk for being on benefits when the biggest scroungers are the people at the top hiding money and getting bonuses. Hats off to her I say. Had a moment and capitalised on it and still frowned upon, some people just cant do right eh.
This show proves that Channel 4 doesn’t care about people’s mental health and wellbeing. They just want your money and they couldn’t care less about the people they film. They’re exploiting the vulnerable for views and it’s a scary thought that a company would do that. Channel 4 should be held accountable for this and all the other terrible ideas they’ve made over the years. Honestly, the people at Channel 4 should be shovelling horse manure as a more honourable way to make a living.
I use to leave this road 10 years ago with my parents in Handsworth. I know this people and the fun guy I saw him always outside the street buying drugs .
Perhaps while exploiting these people, the film crew and producers could have helped out the likes of mark and Becky who was genuinely skint and literally hungry. They made enough money off this programme and didn't even give the people on it a hot meal, while they exploited them! Disgrace !
Well, sad to say, that many people do. I think when you have next to nothing and daily life is such a struggle with underlying factors … ones mindset is not functioning like that of yours or mine. Keeping house, particularly in Fungi’s case, and him being a male, cleaning is most likely the least of his worries, I’d imagine. I can’t judge when I don’t walk in the shoes of others but wish Fungi the very best in getting the opportunity to see his children… he appears to be trying so hard.
Mental health and addiction is an issue in uk and hes clearly an under developed grown man he needs long term key worker support unfortunately its not available
Exactly, my parents who live in a nice area know most of the people who live on the road because it's so nice people don't want to move. I on the other hand live on a estate and have never seen my next door neighbor.
Fungi the deadbeat father who neglected his children for 20 years, an ex drug addict, alcoholic, criminal including armed robbery, shoplifter, and a top notch benefit scrounger. Yeah he is one hell of a likeable bloke.
they could stretch their dollars more if they'd quit smoking ! that costs a lot of their money, plus the added health issues it causes to themselves and those around it , anther added cost, i get it, its an addiction, but there are treatments, and help for it.
Deze kinderen krijgen geen voorbeeld. De ouders moeten beginnen met hun rommel op te ruimen en te poetsen. Samen aan tafel ook al is er niet veel. Beleefdheid en routine
It seems to be the trend nowadays for kids to take their food into their bedrooms instead of joining the parents at the table; sadly politeness and good manners tend to have gone with past standards being ignored.
Theyve let too many ppl into tiny beautiful England..it cannot possibly support so many..take care of your own at least first😢 More job opportunities and Hope etc..112 million in such a tiny country..😢😢Much blessings to all 🙏🙏
M.E.G.A? LOL, sorry but that was too easy. I am a South African and I don't have a say either way for 1st World Countries. But I cannot help but think it is odd that so many citizens of the First World are having the same complaints /issues. I wish you the best, asI do our own beautiful country.
Not always been there on pwrson for my kids but financially I have made sure they wanted for nothing and now they have there own lives and my daughter in boarding school where she wants to be my son plays football . My kids are set. And I see them and vacation 2 to 4 times a year if they wish .
is he called 'Funghi'? Bless him lol, no offence just funny. I've been through my fair share of shit so I do feel inspired by these people trying to make a better life.
Perhaps it’s the translation. 13 nationalities in 99 houses and only 5 are working? Should everyone on benefits be British? Do you mean ethnicities? That is different than nationalities.
White dee saying "everyone deserves to see their kids no matter what has gone on" bullshit! I usually agreed with most of the stuff she said but not that!!

It's not an estate you're right but it has all the characteristics and characters to boot with the same working class (lower class closeness). Community etc. Looking out for each other.
There is more to say about the rich not paying their share which makes services and support unfundable for the poorest in Britain.
Lack of youth groups, community interest groups. No funding for supporting these disadvantaged people. It's a shame.
I've met Dee, she's lovely. Especially after her break she was able to kick start her life again. It's a shame it took ridiculing her amd her kin for that to happen. I know people like everyone in the series. The forgotten. Is what it is though. There are opportunities for folk but sometimes people need support which isn't there when it's needed without lily padding to gain it.
She is now famous and off benefits and classed as a celebrity.
@@janes9264 fair play to her. People knock folk for being on benefits when the biggest scroungers are the people at the top hiding money and getting bonuses. Hats off to her I say. Had a moment and capitalised on it and still frowned upon, some people just cant do right eh.
This show proves that Channel 4 doesn’t care about people’s mental health and wellbeing. They just want your money and they couldn’t care less about the people they film. They’re exploiting the vulnerable for views and it’s a scary thought that a company would do that. Channel 4 should be held accountable for this and all the other terrible ideas they’ve made over the years. Honestly, the people at Channel 4 should be shovelling horse manure as a more honourable way to make a living.
Get real snowflake ppl watch this like a mfer wouldn't make it if ppl didn't watch
They are running a *BUSINESS* after all
I need a shower after watching this. ಠ_ಠ
@@lmm2103 Agreed, they have a lot to learn.
because working class people are so dirty... get a grip!!!
The only thing that'd need cleansing is your soul, if you had one that is.
@@emelehem none of them works. No working class there.
How much of an angel is white dee ❤
I use to leave this road 10 years ago with my parents in Handsworth.
I know this people and the fun guy I saw him always outside the street buying drugs .
White dee bangs on about her kids giving to society she's a terrible role model
Perhaps while exploiting these people, the film crew and producers could have helped out the likes of mark and Becky who was genuinely skint and literally hungry. They made enough money off this programme and didn't even give the people on it a hot meal, while they exploited them! Disgrace !
They get paid for the filming.
@@Abcd-ht8df no they didn't they didn't see a penny!!
These people just want to sit and do nothing. This is so unfair to the taxpayers.
I feel sad that the men like FUNGI don’t seem to be able to do even the basic things like basic diy and cleaning
Fungis house looks like a squat. Can't believe people need to live like that.
Well, sad to say, that many people do. I think when you have next to nothing and daily life is such a struggle with underlying factors … ones mindset is not functioning like that of yours or mine. Keeping house, particularly in Fungi’s case, and him being a male, cleaning is most likely the least of his worries, I’d imagine. I can’t judge when I don’t walk in the shoes of others but wish Fungi the very best in getting the opportunity to see his children… he appears to be trying so hard.
Agree. He should clean that house up, and do the repairs.
@@Silvia-ro4qz girl you missed the point 100% congratulations
Mental health and addiction is an issue in uk and hes clearly an under developed grown man he needs long term key worker support unfortunately its not available
Why do these people seem to think that just because you live in a "posh" area you don't know your neighbors?
Exactly, my parents who live in a nice area know most of the people who live on the road because it's so nice people don't want to move. I on the other hand live on a estate and have never seen my next door neighbor.
Cause posh people are pretentious twats more often than not, hope that helps x
I mean most look capable of working🤨🤨
Fungi is a pretty likeable bloke
Fungi the deadbeat father who neglected his children for 20 years, an ex drug addict, alcoholic, criminal including armed robbery, shoplifter, and a top notch benefit scrounger. Yeah he is one hell of a likeable bloke.
Yea, a junkie shoplifter that creates kids n abandons em to soak up tax funds, top fkin guy huh
they could stretch their dollars more if they'd quit smoking ! that costs a lot of their money, plus the added health issues it causes to themselves and those around it , anther added cost, i get it, its an addiction, but there are treatments, and help for it.
Dee your an amazing advocate/support system for fungi ❤
It would be nice if she could do the same for her own kids... 🙄
Fungi .. man’s happy 😆 😂🎉 I’m not even listening right now because Simpson’s is on 😂
Deze kinderen krijgen geen voorbeeld. De ouders moeten beginnen met hun rommel op te ruimen en te poetsen. Samen aan tafel ook al is er niet veel. Beleefdheid en routine
It seems to be the trend nowadays for kids to take their food into their bedrooms instead of joining the parents at the table; sadly politeness and good manners tend to have gone with past standards being ignored.
@@gillianbrookwell1678 some in Britain don’t have room for a table.
i was in same place in Stokton on tees... thats harrible... i was runing away from UK...
Hilarious that the young woman said she was missing Emmerdale. That’s just how I would feel!
Ukraine is a heaven compared to these social housing in England …even in the state of war…
At least Donna seems to care about Fungi. 44:37
He did lost a lot of time. The only time he has available… sad, but may be a warning to others.
Some wonderful people in this street! I wish they were in my street! Would just love to sit and chat to them….
"And I'm missin' Emmerdale".
Are you now.
Rip Fungi❤️
how did he die
@@rylantranter3449 heart attack
@Gary Michael 👍
@@andreamacintyre4220 rip fungi
@Gary Michael Yass, shouldn't be laughing though 🙁😅
Theyve let too many ppl into tiny beautiful England..it cannot possibly support so many..take care of your own at least first😢 More job opportunities and Hope etc..112 million in such a tiny country..😢😢Much blessings to all 🙏🙏
M.E.G.A? LOL, sorry but that was too easy. I am a South African and I don't have a say either way for 1st World Countries. But I cannot help but think it is odd that so many citizens of the First World are having the same complaints /issues. I wish you the best, asI do our own beautiful country.
"I don't want money" whilst literally claiming free money and fit to work. Disgraceful
How much are cigarettes in England? Quit smoking and spend the money on healthy food for your family.
Not always been there on pwrson for my kids but financially I have made sure they wanted for nothing and now they have there own lives and my daughter in boarding school where she wants to be my son plays football . My kids are set. And I see them and vacation 2 to 4 times a year if they wish .
So while momma is pretending to be an athlete, her children are running rampant in the street
Who is this comment even about?
@@girlwhat881 White Dee lol! Although I think the person is mixing up family members lol!
is he called 'Funghi'? Bless him lol, no offence just funny. I've been through my fair share of shit so I do feel inspired by these people trying to make a better life.
I wonder where all these people are now if they're in the same street.
Putrid humans, that poor dog has anxiety issues living there
Perhaps it’s the translation. 13 nationalities in 99 houses and only 5 are working? Should everyone on benefits be British? Do you mean ethnicities? That is different than nationalities.
Are we sure White Dee isn't a man in drag? That's one hell of a deep voice she has.
im a girl with a deeper voice than most of the year 7 boys in my school... girls/woman can have deep voices too yknow
Stupid thing to say
Let's hear you voice, my love... Post a voice clip for us...
@@keeferfleming6345 ew wtf no 😂
@@emelehem not you...
SB deserves better 🥰
Lovely young lady x
She's a model now
White dee is a name?🤣🤣🤣
Tbf if it was Dee White, you wouldnt be surprised, Praneeta?
Her name is Deidre or something
We grew up government housing no druggies just alcoholics and rough living ....
£20 to take part in a audition? .......they should be free obviously
White dee saying "everyone deserves to see their kids no matter what has gone on" bullshit! I usually agreed with most of the stuff she said but not that!!
I love how you put tv cameras on some one and straight away it's I want to be a model or actor haha
dya know wha i mean 🤣🤣🤣most popuar line i noticed.
Why would you have a child with someone who constantly beats you arnt you just bringing a kid into that
Erm, it's Hyacinth Bouquet 😂
