from www.thesun.co.uk – A MUM-OF-TWO today admitted fleecing more than £16,000 in benefits — while working as a porn star.

Sexy Kirsty Summers, 23, told officials she was jobless when she raked in thousands on TV and online shows such as Sport XXX, Bang Babes and the Boudoir Show.

She claimed income support, council tax credits and housing benefits while working as a self-employed glamour girl for nearly 18 months.

But her lies caught up with her when the Department for Work and Pensions found out.

Summers, wearing a tight white shirt, sobbed loudly and tugged at her bleached blonde hair as JPs heard the case against her.

She told investigators she had not declared her income because a friend told her she did not need to as she was working less than 16 hours a week.

Neil Scott, prosecuting for the DWP, said Summers falsely claimed £16,207.93 between November 2009 and March 2011.

He said: “Whilst claiming benefits, the DWP found out that the defendant had been working.

“This was confirmed by the GSP interactive media group, Bluebird productions and Lloyds Bank.

“On February 28 last year, an officer for the DWP interviewed the defendant under caution.

“In the course of the interview she said she had been working self employed for Sport XXX, Bang babes and others.”

She started legitimately claiming benefits in 2006 but failed to inform the DWP when she began working.

Petite Summers, a single mum from Ilchester, Somerset, admitted fraud at Taunton Deane Magistrates Court in Somerset.

Defending, Ray Peters said: “She initially did not disclose her employment and income because she had been told she could work up to 16 hours a week without having to declare it.

“She subsequently realised the error.”

He added that Summers, who has two children aged three and six, had had a “difficult” life and had serious financial problems.

He said: “She has been in considerable distress over the last 12 months because of these matters hanging over her.”

The court heard that Summers was repaying the money at the rate of £500 a month and had vowed to pay it all back within 33 months.

Magistrates adjourned the case for three weeks for a pre-sentence report but warned Summers she could be jailed because of the large sums of money claimed.

She will next appear before the court on February 17.
