"Plans to film a second series of the Channel 4 reality show in Birmingham have been ditched because the cast, including White Dee, have reportedly demanded five figure salaries.
Producers are said to be holding crisis meetings with some of the key residents of James Turner Street in the hope of brining them back on board."

Yes there is no way she should be claiming benefits after all the money she's allegedly been paid.
Channel 5 are using the other street for their benefits bashing show.
Well said.
Even in this celebrity-obsessed age where you can be a celebrity for simply appearing in a reality TV programme, those people simply waltz off with the Huntley and Palmers.
They are nothings
Exactly this. Channel 4 were the ones who profited in the end - I don't blame the contributors for wanting their share. But of course, the show should never have been made in the first place. I love that the contributors themselves, who were so meticulously sourced and banked on to be outrageous by Channel 4, have been the show's Achilles heel.
Crisis talks? Born Risky? Lol.
These shows, show 2 or 3 people abusing the welfare system, so that's almost 20 whole people as evidence that those on the dole abuse the system.
It's like when they show MP's abusing the expenses system, they only need to show 2 or 3 of them doing it for everyone to know it is ALL MPs who are doing it
Never mind the fact that there are 2.5 million unemployed and only 500,000 jobs.
If a TV show, shows enough people doing something wrong, then it should be taken as proof that all people are doing wrong.

Other than showing new residents/claimants I'm not really sure where they could go with a new series. By the sound of it residnets come and go quite frequently anyway.
I'm sure they were advertising for other streets to get in touch at the end of the last series - I'm guessing however once people had seen it, they'd be reluctant to come forward.
I do like the fact that the article ends with
