Cheryl Prudham's estranged husband and a third man are also facing charges
THE QUEEN of benefits will join her ex in the dock after the pair denied charges related to the theft of £10,000 in change from parking meters.
Mum-of-12 Cheryl Prudham, who has previously made national headlines after raking in £40,000 a year in benefits, is accused of handling the stolen cash.
Estranged husband Robert Prudham, 31, is charged with stealing £10,500 from parking machines as well as failing to disclose previous convictions to a recruitment firm.
Jacob Underdown, 27, is charged with the same offences as Prudham.
All three deny all the charges.
