Visiting Glasgow in 2012, Ross Kemp filmed a documentary detailing the struggles in the city with extreme poverty and the welfare system - which was soon criticised for a ‘ridiculous’ framing of Glasgow as a ‘third world warzone’.
In an episode of Extreme World, Kemp looked at the city's struggling community and was accused of exaggerating the issues that face Glasgow.
Kemp states at the beginning of the footage: “I’ve come to Glasgow not only because it epitomises the issues which are trapping millions of people in a cycle of poverty across the UK, but also because the city is pioneering initiatives to break that cycle.”
