This is an increase of £50 compared to last year, when , and the year before that, the mum of two asked her guests to cough up £150.

In previous years, Carla’s two children, Tanisha, 20 and her 19-year-old son got their own dinner for free, but this year, they are having to pay their way too.

The youngsters have been left very disappointed by the decision.

“They are not the best pleased with me right now,” the former glamour model, from Herts, told What’s The Jam.

“But they have no choice.

“If they want to have a family , then they need to pay me.

“I’m not letting them – or anyone – take me for a ride.

“I can’t be bothered dealing with freeloaders anymore, especially at Christmas when it’s such an expensive time.”

Carla is hosting 10 friends and family members for her Christmas dinner.

For a starter, she will be serving prawn cocktail with pickled cucumber.

For the main event, it’s short ribs, wild mushroom Yorkshire puddings, sizzled sprouts, and rosemary scalloped potatoes.

And for dessert, she’s keeping it simple with Christmas pudding.

There will be canapés upon arrival and free-flowing champagne.

But when it hits 8pm, Carla will demand that her guests leave – and that includes Tanisha and Jayden.
