The 38-year-old dancer, from Solihull, known as Wildvixen, has gone from a salary of £27,000 a year to just £232 in benefits for six months

The 38-year-old, known as Wildvixen, said she went from earning £27,000-a-year to scraping by on just £232 in benefits over six months.

She says she has been forced to rely on friends and relatives for help with her weekly food shop after her income dried up when shows and tours were cancelled, reports Birmingham Live.

She said her world “came crashing down” but she received two payments of only £124 and £108 from the Government’s self-employment income support scheme.

And she said a benefits advisor told her to consider selling her home to see her through the pandemic.
