Watching Blood, Sweat and T-shirts left me rethinking my wardrobe choices but now major bargain retailer Primark are rethinking theirs. It has been announced today that they have ditched three of its suppliers in Southern India due to use of child labour.
"Primark is an ethical business that demands the highest standards from its suppliers.
Last night Blood, Sweat and T-shirts came to an end with many of the fashion fanatics actually wanting to do something to improve conditions for workers in India. For their final challenge they worked in a factory within a slum and were shocked at the amount of children involved in the production process.
They then returned to the UK and the BBC caught up with them four months later to see how the experience had changed their perspective. Whose life do you think was most affected by the series?

The weeks seem to just keep getting harder for the six young fashion enthusiasts over in India. Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse than last week's back street factory the group took a long packed train out of the main city to a cotton farm. The group also had to pay rent for the first time as the job provided no accommodation.
This week saw the six fashion fanatics pushed to the limit as they worked and lived in a workshop producing blouses for the UK. The team were required to make the whole garment from start to finish making 36 blouses in three days between them. They struggled to even make the blouses, let alone reach the quality control standards.
The experience became too much for Richard who wanted to quit and became agressive concerning the others.
