Mother of 11 having £400k taxpayer-funded house built now says she might not even move in Now Tewkesbury council has agreed to build her six-bedroom eco-home It was claimed she can afford to spend £200 a month on daughter's horse But Angel, 16, insists she pays for horse which was given to her by friend By Luke Salkeld and Mark Duell Taxpayers have already paid for the upkeep of her 11 children and for a purpose-built six-bedroom home to house them all - but it emerged this morning that Heather Frost might not even move in. The jobless 37-year-old, of Churchdown, Gloucestershire, told a TV show that she 'didn't beg' for the £400,000 home and is '50/50 whether I'm going to take it' because of the 'hassle' she was getting. It was also claimed yesterday that Miss Frost had the means to keep a horse called Annie, which she bought last year, although her daughter Angel, 16, insisted today that it is she who pays for her. Out of my pocket: Miss Frost's daughter Angel (left), 16, told Daybreak presenter Katy Fawcett (right) that it is she who pays for the horse Miss Frost told ITV's Daybreak: 'I'm grateful to the council for giving me the two houses in the first place. We moved into one property with the next property becoming available soon. 'Size-wise it's fine, but it's a hassle having to house so many children in one house and so many in the other. I didn't beg or go and put a gun to someone's head to get some help. 'I'd love to go out and work. I took a business plan two years ago to open my own shop and do my own business, but I fell ill. I'd love to support my children myself, but there is help out there. I was booked in to be sterilised, but then I got cancer and it stopped everything. I haven't said that if the house is too small for me, they could just build me another one. I didn't beg for this house. 'With the hassle I'm getting at the moment, I'm 50/50 whether I'm going to take it. Everyone knows where it is now, and I'm not moving in there and then my kids being picked on - the hassle. Her daugher's grey mare Annie lives in a field around a mile from the current Frost family home, with the paddock fees, food and vet bills for the horse estimated to total around £200 per month. Defence: Heather Frost, 37, of Churchdown, Gloucestershire, told ITV's Daybreak that she 'didn't beg' for the £400,000 home and is '50/50 whether I'm going to take it' because of the 'hassle' she was getting A worker at the paddock claimed Miss Frost had recently arranged to buy two more horses but the deal fell through at the last minute. Everyone knows where it is now, and I'm not moving in there and then my kids being picked on - the hassle' Heather Frost She is understood to pay £65 a month in paddock fees and had negotiated a deal last month where she could stable a total of three horses for £175. The worker said Miss Frost bought Annie "about eight months ago," adding: "Horses are expensive. I know, I've had them all my life. Annie has breathing difficulties, so the vet has to come out quite often. They were going to buy two more horses recently, but that deal fell through. It's sickening to think that she can afford what most people would consider a luxury at the expense of the British taxpayer. Miss Frost refused to discuss the horse yesterday - but on Daybreak this morning, her daughter said her mother doesn't make any contribution to the animal. Angel also took to a local website yesterday to defend her mother after it was revealed the family were being handed a six-bedroom, three-bathroom newly built home. The horse is mine - I got given it by a friend. I pay for it, I pay rent, I pay bills, my mum doesn't pay anything at all' Angel, 16, Heather Frost's daughter She wrote: "My mum has nothing to be ashamed about." Angel told Daybreak: 'The horse is mine - I got given it by a friend. I pay for it, I pay rent, I pay bills, my mum doesn't pay anything at all. My mum is a very strong lady and she'll get over it (the hassle). But at the family's current home which comprises two terraced houses with a connecting door, her mother said yesterday: "I will not talk about my horse or my kids." She lives with her children Sophie, 22, Toby, 19, Daisy, 18, Angel, 16, Jay, 14, Chloe, 13, Paige, 12, Emily, ten, Beth, nine, Ruby, seven and Tilly, two. But her local council has arranged for a 1,850sq ft property to be built on a new housing development in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, which is due for completion in June. The eco-home features the latest in energy-saving design. Frost also lives with partner Jake, who the neighbours say works as a lorry driver, Sophie's two-year-old daughter Ashley, and Toby's son Tyler. The family's neighbours were yesterday outraged by the revelation that Miss Frost has enough cash to keep a horse. One said: "It's disgusting. Owning a horse should be a luxury reserved for people who work and can pay for it themselves. I don't pay my taxes so some jobless baby machine can have a horse. A commentator using the name "Charlie76" wrote on a Gloucestershire news website: "What an absolute joke! How can she afford horses? I can barely afford my dog and I work and have kids. Bloody disgraceful! Robert Oxley, from the TaxPayers' Alliance, criticised the decision to build the family a new home. 'It's scandalous that so much time and taxpayers' money is being spent on one custom built mansion,' he said. 'Many people can't afford to buy their own home but have to opt for what their budget allows. Miss Frost's daughter Angel defended her mother on a local news website. Using the name "AngelFrost," she wrote: "Heather is my mum, she doesn't work, but my father did, and he left, so why are you blaming my mother? How could she possibly work with 11 children, you people have no right judging us. My mum has nothing to be ashamed about, the house we are mooving (sic) to in is smaller then the one we live in now, so its far from a mansion. All us kids are as happy as could be, full of joy and full of life, and as for thinking we are all going to be following in her foot steps (sic) you can think again. She said she was proud of her mother and blamed her absent father for failing to support the family. Councillor Derek Davies, lead member for built environment at Tewkesbury Borough Council, said: 'We have a duty to provide appropriate accommodation to people who are at risk of homelessness. 'Ms Frost's family has been living in temporary accommodation, consisting of two houses, for a very long time because there have been no other suitable properties available. This is an excellent example of the council working in partnership with registered providers, using public land to develop more affordable housing in line with government policy. We were able to sell land owned by the borough council to Severn Vale for them to develop 13 affordable homes, including this unit to meet the particular needs of Ms Frost and her family. By providing this larger affordable property, the two houses currently occupied by the family will be available for other families in need.
