Michelle Mone's daughter swaps luxury holidays for 'poverty porn' in Channel 4's 'Born Famous'

Baroness Michelle Mone 's daughter Bethany has visits her mother's roots by visiting on of the UK's most deprived areas in Glasgow.

YouTube vlogger Bethany, 19, heads to Bridgeton in Glasgow, as part of Channel 4's new TV series 'Born Famous'.

Filmed last year, the show has been described as “poverty porn” – where well-off folk gawp at the less fortunate.

The show takes the offspring of self-made celebrities back to the less glamorous areas their parents were brought up in.

Bethany, who lives with her dad Michael, who split from Mone, in Glasgow, also splits her time visiting her mum in her £120million Isle of Man mansion as well as jetting off on luxury trips abroad.

The first photos from Bethany’s visit to Bridgeton were released this week and show her looking perfectly preened as she poses in front of a wrecked football goal.

The teen – dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt – was also snapped in front of a graffiti-covered building with a rusty metal fence.

The photos are a far cry from her Instagram feed, which shows her privileged lifestyle – including exotic holidays in Barbados and across Europe.

Bethany, who has a sister Rebecca and brother Declan, went to £11,000-a-year St Aloysius College – very different to Mone’s childhood in a Gallowgate tenement.

She is also pictured with her 47-year-old mum, who founded lingerie brand Ultimo and became a Tory peer in 2015, outside an east end flat.

In Born Famous, Bethany stays with Jack, 19, and his family. He is the youngest of four children and lives with his mum Violet, who has acute arthritis , and his dad Andy, who is her carer.

Jack was on an apprentice scheme training to be a joiner.

But he became unemployed after passing out while working on building sites, due to an underlying heart condition.

Bethany realises that money isn't everything as she's in the episode what she thinks life is about: “Who cares if you have all the money if you’re not happy and you’re not healthy.

“What’s the point? What’s the good of it? You’ve got money, cool, but nae pals.”

The series started with Gordon Ramsay ’s son Jack, who went to Banbury in Oxfordshire, where the Scots-born chef lived as a teenager.

With the second episode the turn of Phoenix Chi, Spice Girl Mel B’s daughter, who spends time in Leeds.

Born Famous airs on Monday night on Channel 4 at 10pm
