Four-months' pregnant woman wants abortion so she can appear on Big Brother

An aspiring glamour model who had a £5,000 breast enlargement on the NHS is planning to abort her baby to appear on Big Brother.

The 24-year-old who is four-and-a-half months pregnant said: 'This time next year I won't have a baby. I'll be famous instead.'

Josie Cunningham, 24, who sparked outrage when she had the operation to enhance her bust, is now pregnant after falling into a life of prostitution.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'An abortion will further my career. This time next year I won't have a baby. Instead I'll be famous, driving a bright pink Range Rover and buying a big house. Nothing will get in my way.'

Ms Cunningham said she had been on the shortlist to appear on the reality TV show but was reluctant to proceed because of her pregnancy.  

'At first I thought thank God, it's a footballer or a doctor and not a Big Issue seller and they have money.'

She added: 'I want to be famous for being me - Josie Cunningham, a glamour model in my own right. If I want to do that I need to put my career first.'

Ms Cunningham posted an image of her baby's scan for her 927 followers on Twitter.

The unmarried mother-of-two said that she was no longer working as an escort, but has admitted that she does not know who the father of her baby is. 

Last month she told how she had turned to escort work at the suggestion of a friend and had slept with her fourth client, an unmarried surgeon in his mid-30s, charging him £450 for dinner and £1,000 for a night of sex.

‘I’m ashamed to say I don’t know who the father is,’ Miss Cunningham told Closer magazine. ‘I’ve only slept with one client, but I’ve also been having casual sex with a friend.’

She was still seeing two clients a week until discovering that she was expecting a baby, and has since worked on adult phone lines.
