They have a combined weight of
83 stone and claim £22,000 in
taxpayer-funded benefits on the
basis that they are ‘too fat to
work.’ Yet, incredibly, X Factor
flop Emma Chawner’s family
from Blackburn are demanding
more money because they still
can’t afford their calorie-laden
lifestyle. Asked why they don’t
simply go on a diet, the jobless
Chawner family, who are so
obese their neighbours call them
‘the telly tubbies,’ insist: “We
don’t have the time.”
Both Philip Chawner, 53, and his
57-year-old wife Audrey weigh
24st. Their youngest daughter,
Emma, is 5ft 3in and weighs
17st, while her older sister
Samantha, 21, is 5ft 9in and
weighs 18st. They haven’t
worked in 11 years, claiming
their weight is due to a
hereditary condition. Instead, the
family spends their days in front
of a television borrowed from a
friend.
The family claim to spend £50 a
week on food, including
chocolate, chips and pies, and
consume 3,000 calories each a
day.
