A reality star who head-butted a girl of 10 was caught because her victim recognised her from the TV.
Jobless Jamelia Humphreys - who had her baby taken from her by social services - attacked the child while appearing on TV every week.
The Channel 4 documentary Skint regularly pulled in four million viewers and was dubbed the real life-Shameless.
Foul-mouthed Humphreys, 18, who was asked to curb her language several times by security guards at court, also pleaded guilty to stealing £7 worth of condoms from a chemist, in her hometown of Scunthorpe, North Lincs.
She is now barred from entering the town centre.
Wayward Humphreys, who is waiting to be sentenced for these offences and also for assaulting a woman police officer, said outside court: "I wish I'd never appeared on Skint now, it's like everyone knows my business and who I am.
"It's like I'm the Queen's daughter or something, but I'm no princess."
Humphreys, who turned 18 just three weeks ago, was before magistrates frequently as a juvenile. And she was 16 when Skint was filmed.
The controversial programme was screened in May and June of this year.
Humphreys arrived at North Lincolnshire Magistrates' Court 1hr 40min late for her 2pm hearing because she had lost her phone the previous day, and said: "I just forgot I had to be at court, I mean, I can't be expected to remember everything."
She had fled the court at an earlier trial where she was found guilty of head-butting the ten-year-old girl on 31 May.
A warrant was issued for her arrest.
At the earlier hearing magistrates heard from the victim, who was forced to come to court to give evidence on her 11th birthday.
