On:

A MUM-of-eight claims she was stabbed in a violent scuffle and now fears for the safety of her kids.

Marie Buchan, 41, has told of the horrific moment a knife was allegedly plunged into her hand.


The "octomum" said the attack happened when she was trying to defend a pal.

Following the reported ordeal, she is now trying to raise awareness in a bid to stop knife crime.

Marie, from Birmingham, is well-known for having eight kids – all fathered by the same dad – whilst claiming benefits.

And now she's worried they will grow up seeing "people getting stabbed".

She told BirminghamLive: "I see videos everywhere of people getting stabbed.

"Everyone is carrying a knife and it is so scary especially if you have kids.

"My nine-year-old daughter saw someone being chased in the park with a knife, schools are now doing stop and searches as well."

Marie has started to attend bleed control workshops which educate people on how to stop the bleeding if someone has been stabbed.

She added: "I can't do anything to stop it but I can teach people to surrender weapons to a knife bin, I have been to three workshops and realised there is so much I didn't know."

Marie first made headlines in 2016 after admitting she was "addicted to pregnancy" on the Channel 4 show Only Human.

In 2021, she was reportedly receiving £500 in benefits every week to run her household – earning her around £26,000 a year.

She has since been dubbed one of Britain's biggest benefit scroungers and has been the victim of online abuse for years.
