Britain's "most hated woman" has defended her decision to charge family members £150 each for Christmas dinner which she hosts at her own house.
Carla Bellucci, who hit headlines after she pretended to have depression to get a nose job on the NHS, says she should not be left "out of pocket" for time and effort put into the festive meal.
She says up to 15 people will come round to her home for the all-important family occasion - and will be asked to stump up for the full turkey dinner. They will also be restricted to one glass of Champagne.
Explaining her decision, she told the Mail Online: "You might find a carvery that's cheaper than my place, but my dinner is going to be a lot more classy than that. It wouldn't be any cheaper if you went to a restaurant or hotel for a Christmas Day meal, so why should I be out of pocket?"
The mum also explained she would "have the telly on in the background" so guests can gather round for the King's speech at 3pm and "watch whatever they like". But doors will close at 10pm, when she vows to kick the rest of the family out after games of charades.
In 2019, Ms Bellucci admitted to faking depression to get an NHS nose job which led to her reputation as the "most hated woman in Britain".
She shared her story on ITV's This Morning, saying: "I'm going to say the truth. I lied but I do work. I was born here, I feel like I've not really done anything wrong."
