FAME hungry Josie Cunningham's latest stunt has, once again, sparked outrage. 

The wannabe glamour model, who infamously had a £4800 boob job on the NHS, is now getting £6000 worth of taxi rides a year – all funded by taxpayers.

According to The Sun, the 23-year-old can't get on the bus in her hometown in Leeds as it gives her anxiety attacks.

“You wouldn’t see Katie Price get a bus – and I’m much more hated than her,” the mum-of-two said.

“Why should I foot the bill when it’s the public who cause me so much discomfort?

“They can pay for it. I couldn’t get a bus again. I’m too well recognised and the amount of hate I receive makes it impossible to get public transport.”

Josie argued this was stoping her taking her six-year-old son to school and her three-year-old to nursery.

As a result, the council granted her request and agreed to let her use cabs to take her kids to school every day – at a cost of £150 a week.

“Taxpayers should be grateful it’s only taxi fares and not private hire cars,” she added. 

Unbothered by the criticism, she took to Twitter this afternoon to say: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but tax payers will always fund me #NeedToSortMyBoatRaceOut #SchoolRun."
