Furlough and additional work

Hi, I'm currently on furlough by my employer and am struggling financially, I have had permission from my employer to work elsewhere, I have managed to find some suitable temporary locum work , does this affect my furlough or would it be additional to that?
 Is there a limit on additional earnings whilst on furlough?

    From what I have been told you can secure other work whilst furloughed as long as it doesn't affect your existing contract of employment.

    You cannot work for the company from which you are furloughed while on furlough.
    You can work for another company and the earnings are additional to furlough.

    Taking another job with a completely separate employer does not affect your furlough from your main employer. You have the main employer's permission to do it.
