The man married to 'Britain's most jealous woman' who hasn't worked for four years because she is obese has said being her full-time career is no easy job.

Debbi Wood, 43, from Leicestershire, weighs 21 stone and is looked after full-time by her husband, Steve, who gets £700 a month handouts in carer's allowance and income support.

She says she is entitled to the £1,500 a month benefits she now gets because she has 'paid into the system' and her size makes it difficult for her to do anything.

Debbi Wood, pictured with husband Steve on Channel 5's Fat Chance Of Work, said she's entitled to get £1,500 a month benefits including disability allowance due to her 21 stone size

Steve and Debbi on their wedding day last year. Steve said he's become his wife's full-time carer because she needs him and he would also struggle to do a job outside the house as she gets so jealous due to having a condition called 'Othello Syndrome'

Steve has been a full-time carer for Debbi - who has admitted she makes him do lie-detector tests because she doesn't trust him - for the past two years - which he says is not easy.

He said: 'People don't realise how draining being a carer can be. It drains you more mentally than physically.

'She wants drinks getting and food making.'

But he admits it's not all bad for his personal development.

'The good thing about this relationship is before Debbi, I couldn't even cook pasta and now I can do things like salmon and steak, I am bossing that now,' he said.

Speaking on tonight's Channel 5 show Fat Chance Of Work, Debbi said: 'I have paid into the system and I am entitled to get disability allowance, carers allowance, income support and the other stuff we get.'

The 43-year-old sleeps on an £800 massage bed, paid for with her benefit money, and is waited on by her husband while a council supplied cleaner tidies up for them three times a week

Debbi said her size makes it difficult for her to move so she spends most of her time in bed playing video games or surfing the internet while her husband brings her drinks, meals and snacks.

'I have never had this much weight on me, I find it very annoying. I am carrying ten stone more than my normal body weight should be. I find it hard to do certain things because of my weight,' she said.

Debbi insists it's not her fault she's morbidly obese.

'I guess I just piled on the pounds,' she said. 'I needed to stop drinking things like Pepsi and eating crisps and things like that but you can't say to people "you're obese, it's your fault". It wasn't my fault the weight came on.'

Debbi said she finds it hard to exercise as she has a number of physical and mental problems holding her back including OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), arthritis, facial palsy, scoliosis and fibromyalgia.

Mrs Wood hit the headlines after admitting that she checks her husband Steve’s phone and even bans him from watching TV shows featuring Holly Willoughby and Anne Robinson, who she suspects he fancies

When she does exercise, she walks on a treadmill at home as she doesn't like leaving the house for fear of being judged.

'It's the same for most people who are overweight, it's a sad state of affairs that we can't go out and get the exercise we need for fear of other people making fun of us,' she said.

'I feel like people will be looking at me and laughing at me which makes me feel self-conscious.'

The Woods lives in a two-bedroom council house that has been modified using taxpayers money in order to make it more comfortable for her.

She has an £800 motorised bed which massages her body to help her to get to sleep, a special wet room adapted to help her wash without standing for long (as it hurts her knees and back to do so) and a cleaner who comes three times a week as Debbi is incapable of cleaning herself.

On top of the council supplied cleaner, Debbi's university-educated husband also looks after her full-time and does the rest of the cleaning and cooking.

Steve, 32, admits it's not the dream job he envisioned doing in his youth but he took his wedding vows to Debbi, made in November 2014, seriously.

He said: 'To me marriage and caring go hand in hand, being Debbi's carer is 24/7 job. She does ask for a lot but a lot needs to be done. It's not a job I expected to take on board but now I am, I do the best I can.'

Steve admits that even if he didn't get paid a carer's allowance to work as Debbi's carer, he would struggle to get a job due to the nature of their relationship.

Debbi was diagnosed with 'Othello Syndrome' last September, a condition that makes her irrationally and uncontrollably jealous.

She regularly makes Steve take lie detector tests to prove his fidelity and can't stand the thought of him so much as even looking at another woman.

Her anxiety has led to her being dubbed 'Britain's most jealous woman' as she's previously revealed what it's like to live with delusional jealousy in newspapers and on television.

Steve said his wife's condition means it would be hard for him to go out and do a job because she would be 'worrying what I am up to 24/7'.

So instead he has been her full-time carer for the last two years - which he says is not easy.

He said: 'People don't realise how draining being a carer can be. It drains you more mentally than physically.

'She wants drinks getting and food making.'

But he admits it's not all bad for his personal development.

'The good thing about this relationship is before Debbi, I couldn't even cook pasta and now I can do things like salmon and steak, I am bossing that now,' he said.
