Deirdre 'White Dee' Kelly (Benefits Street Star) On This Morning [02.07.2024]

It’s true what she says, I’ve lived amongst people like this & I’ve lived in private estates & let me tell you them people with nowt would give you their last to help you, proper community good people that hasn’t been as fortunate as others !

She had not a lot and was offered a opportunity. And from that she used it to help others and that is just beautiful. What a lovely lady.

I was born and bred 2 streets over from James Turner street and went to Foundry Road school in the next street. I walked down that street every single day for years in the early 1970's. Best days of my life and i'm forever a true Brummie at heart. Over the road was Winson Green prison and All Saints mental asylum. Lets just say we lived a very colourful life in those surroundings. Sounds like hell to some but i wouldn't change it for the world.

Who what a lovely down to earth lady , caring for her community, she deserves recognition.

She hasn’t aged, A Dee licous helping of “ Salt Of The Earth “ God love her . I hope her children are well and happy.

Dee was very intelligent I hope she does well she would make great councellor

I personally can't speak on this lady (as I know little about her), but statistically only 1% of people abuse the system, most have just fallen on bad times and/or an unfortunate set of circumstances has led to them not having the confidence to go to work (Covid played a huge role in this). My Brother at one point was the bread winner of his family, he took pride in it, he was a former soldier who thought in Iraq (soldiers aren't political, they go where they are told, but this didn't stop people hating on him), he got divorced, lost his daughter (my niece) to Cancer, he developed an addiction to gambling then alcohol, he became medically disqualified from operating any kind of machinery, so he went on benefits (this would have only lasted 5 years, as he was in therapy), then shows like Benefits Street come out, and he couldn't even go to the Pub without someone saying "my Taxes paid for that Beer", he sadly took his own life, he was the perfect example of "don't judge me until you have walked in my shoes".

Her voice sounds like the disguise voice they use on crimewatch

Love this women she came across so well on the show ❤❤❤

I know Dee she is a lovely woman and supported me with housing the homeless I hope she is doing well bless her x

Good on you lady, we need more Deirdre’s in this world ❤

Wow ten years ago. Time goes so quickly

She hasn’t aged a day

Loved her from the moment I met her via t.v on the show till now, & I think I always will tbh, she such a beautiful person myyy God ❤

Oh Dee…love her. Such a good soul with huge kindness and empathy. ☺️

We need more dee in the world❤

The reason this lady stood out was her good heart. ❤ power to you Dee!

Would love to see her more on T.V. Shes seems to have that rare characteristic of being able to think for herself, and not follow the crowd. She's a natural leader, a warm hearted kind one. I believe if she were born from a different background/ starting block, she'd be a CEO of a corporate company, or have some kind of high end job.

Dee is an absolute legend! Thank you for uploading this!

Fair play to Dee I admire her xx
