MUM-of-eight Marie Buchan insists she can't get work because "dirty big perverts" keep hitting on her.
And now the 'Octomum' has put her money where her mouth is – so to speak – and stripped down to her underwear to show just why she is so unemployable.
Former lapdancer Marie, who is training to become a mechanic, says she has faced a barrage of sexism while trying to get work experience – making it impossible for her to get a job.
Marie, who has eight kids aged between three and 15, said she constantly faced sleazy propositions while trying to get work.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: "A couple of garages approached me after seeing me on TV but as you talk to them more and more you see what they’re after.
"They’re not really after me working there, they’re looking for something more. I think they’re just dirty big perverts."
She added: "You’ve got women in the police force, in the Army, we have the skills, it’s just that men see us as sex symbols."
The mum, who survives on work benefits, said men often asked her if she wanted to get a drink, or what else she was interested in outside of working at a garage.
From Birmingham’s Selly Oak, she said she was desperate to get work experience and learn from other females in the profession but there were limited numbers of women in garages.
She said she was now almost finished her diploma, expecting to finish in March, but was determined not to be ripped off by men thinking they could take advantage of her.

The former lapdancer previously told The Sun she could be forced to quit her part-time job and go back on the dole due to the huge cost of her children’s school dinner money.
She then followed through with her decision, explaining it was "mentally draining" to be a mum of eight and work on top of training to become a mechanic.
In August she announced she was coming off benefits in order to start up her own mechanics business.
She has also been spotted shopping for a brand new £70k Range Rover in a luxury car showroom and planned on getting a £4,500 boob job.
She has previously been hit with accusations of sponging off the system.
