Stephen Smith aka Smoggy from Benefits Street has been offered three jobs following the first episode of the controversial series.
Benefits Street is a five-part series which focuses on the residents of James Turner Street in Winson Green. The first episode was shown on Channel 4 on Monday night (06/01).
Stephen, aged 38, impressed bosses and viewers with his 50p idea on Monday night.
The 50p idea was born during a four months sentence in Birmingham Prison (formally known as Winson Green Prison) for a “petty” crime in 2011.
He, said: "I worked as a cleaner when I was inside, People asked for things like soap that I would sell for a smoke. My time in prison was a reality check but it gave me to time to reflect. I was locked up for something really petty which I regret. But they say things happen for a reason, If I had not gone to jail I would not have come up with the 50p idea."
He, added: "Three companies have contacted me through Channel 4. I think the first one, delivering food for a distribution company, is the one I want to go for."
