TV reality star Deirdre Kelly stole the show at the Conservative Party Conference when she spoke about how to fix the benefits system - but revealed she was a fan of Nigel Farage and UKIP.
Mrs Kelly, who appeared on the Channel 4 documentary Benefits Street, criticised the Tories as “out of touch” and revealed she had written to Mr Cameron many times, but he just ignored her letters.
She also said she’d consider becoming an MP herself one day, but probably representing her own party.
Mrs Kelly told a packed meeting at the Tory event that Job Centre staff once told her that she’d be better off on benefits than working.
And she said Ministers should consider tough measures to get people into work, including giving claimants a card which only allows them to buy essentials such as food instead of cash which could be spent on cigarettes and alcohol.
Mrs Kelly was known as White Dee when she appeared on the controversial documentary, which has been criticised for painting a false impression of life in James Turner Street in Winson Green, Birmingham.
The mother-of-two, who has appeared in Celebrity Big Brother, spoke in a packed room in a Broad Street hotel at a fringe event to tie in with the Tory conference at the ICC.
Television news presenter Allegra Stratton, from BBC2’s Newsnight, chaired the event - and said Mrs Kelly had received a reception usually reserved for Boris Johnson, the London mayor loved by Tory activists.
But asked whether she backed any of the political parties, Ms Kelly said: “I like to speak for myself but Mr Farage doesn’t seem to be doing too badly. He’s had a few extra members joining recently.
“I like to make decisions depending on what they are actually saying.”
Asked if she could vote UKIP at the next election, she said: “I very well could”.
Criticising Tory Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, who is in charge of the benefits system, she said: “You have someone who I think is completely out of touch with the real world making decisions on people who do actually live in the real world - that’s Iain Duncan Smith.”
She added: “I don’t know Mr Cameron personally. I’ve written to him on a few occasions to invite him to a different places but he’s not written back.”
Asked whether she would stand for Parliament, Mrs Kelly said: “It is something I would think about. I am interested in politics.” But she said she would create her own party rather than stand for an existing one.”
One reason some people stayed on benefits was because it paid more than working - but this was the fault of the Government for giving people the money, she said.
She said: “The Job centre did it on my behalf. My adviser did it, and they do hand you a great big wodge of paper and they actually do turn round and say in reality you need to get a job that’s going to pay you £18,000 to be better off in work than not.
“I’ve actually still got that at home.”
Job Centres should stop giving people this information, she said.
Asked by a member of the audience whether it was right that benefit claimants could buy cigarettes and alcohol, she said: “I don’t think that’s a bad idea of introducing maybe a little card where you ensure people do get their groceries and ensure people do get their [school] uniforms”
