A woman on benefits who claims she can't work because of her Lymphedema diagnosis does so for free instead.
In Channel 5 's On Benefits: Life on the dole, 22-stone Suzie lives in Crawley with her two cats and her condition means her arms and legs swell up with excess fluid making it impossible for her to work.
She claims around £600 a month in Employment Support and Disability Living Allowance - which she uses to fund her dream of finding fame and fortune as a 'plus-size' actress.
Suzie makes six-hour round trips, costing £20, to London to stand for hours in the freezing cold for her hobby as an unpaid film extra, all while saying her illness makes it a struggle to do so for long periods for a paid job.
She says: "I guess it isn't fair that the taxpayers are funding my hobby. But I was a taxpayer, I worked numerous years, I've just unfortunately become ill. It’s not my fault that I happened to go down with a long-term illness."
Suzie boasts about her celebrity mates and how she gets invited to parties so needs fancy clothes to wear, spending £100 on a big online shop instead of trying to save.

"It might sound like a lot of money... Once in a while you've got to spoil yourself. I've got some mates that are celebrities and I often get invited to parties so I obviously need better quality clothes for that reason because I don’t want to look tacky or anything."
Suzie isn't the only one to appear in the latest series of the documentary following those who are so unhealthy they can't get a job. Archie from Manchester tips the scales at 26 stone and claims around £600 a month in benefits.
Archie says he's too fat to work, except for four weeks every year he get full-tome work as Santa Claus.
He uses his bulk to play Father Christmas and says it is the 'best job' because he gets to sit down all day.
"It's the best job. There's just no other job like it. You're sat on your bum telling lies to children."

The single Archie splashes his benefits cash on trips away to meet women and even though he attends a weight loss group he has no real desire to lose too much weight because he wants to still look like Santa.
Also appearing in the documentary is 19-stone Gina, who lives with her mum and boyfriend Gary in a one-bed flat. She insists that she can't eat healthy food because it makes her Irritable Bowel Syndrome flare up.
Doctors advise her to lose weight but she says: "The doctor’s have said that if I lose weight, my health could be improved but as I've explained to them walking and dietary foods sets my IBS off. The next option they keep offering me is the gastric band."
Gina cooks meals including pies, deep fried potatoes and even scoffs on takeaways when they get their benefits, but reckons that any fruit or vegetables is simply too expensive.

"I try to eat as healthy as my stomach will let me, due to my IBS. Because if I eat salad, well lettuce it triggers my IBS off. Unless you get fresh fruit and veg in a deal it’s quite expensive to buy normally."
Blossom, who lives in Brighton, is also struggling to survive on her £325 a week benefits but still manages to boast an impressive collection of tattoos which have cost her around £1,000 over the years.

There's a possibility that the 25-stone woman may have cervical cancer but she needs to go under general anaesthetic for exploratory surgery, however, doctors tell her she is too fat to get it done.
The 50-year-old has not worked for 20 years and the majority of her benefits goes on her small car to keep her mobile - which she uses to make trips to McDonald's for her weekly treat.
