'A young couple who receive more than £17,000 a year in benefits appeared on ITV's This Morning to defend their taxpayer-funded lifestyle this week.

Danny Creamer, 21, and Gina Allan, 18, who live in a comfortable two-bedroom flat in Portsmouth with their four month old daughter, Talulah Rose, infuriated viewers and Daily Mail readers as they argued they are better off on £17k benefits and that unless they are able to find jobs that pay £18,000 a year or more, there's no point in working.

With hours of the show airing a business owner had contacted the show and offered Danny a job working for his firm.

During the interview Danny admitted that he would consider a job offer over £15,000, and on Wednesday's show, host Phillip Schofield said: 'A businessman phoned up, and Danny was offered a labourer's job, £60 a day at this James Oliver's Property Developer company, and he's taken it. They've arranged a meeting for tomorrow....'
