Hamza’s current wife Nadjet Kamel Mostafa and her seven children are costing taxpayers more than £1,200 a week.

Housing benefit pays the rent for their £550,000 five-bed council home in Shepherd’s Bush, West London — while the £34.61 weekly council tax is covered by another allowance.

Nadjet, who wed Hamza in 1984, receives income support of £379.46 a week, child tax credits worth £200 a week and £62.60 child benefit. Her children are 18, 17, 15, 12, ten, nine and six.
