He said in the viral clip: “I’m at this clothing factory and they are taking all these labels off and putting Boohoo labels and PrettyLittleThing labels.
“You lot are all wearing Gildan bro. Madness.”
He also panned the camera onto what appeared to be Fruit of the Loom boxes, and claimed those labels were also removed from garments before the new ones were added.

It’s not the first time PLT has been accused of snipping out other brand labels before adding their own.
Scores of angry customers have complained to the retailer after items promoted as PLT originals have arrived bearing labels from Fruit of the Loom and Redtag Active among others.
The revelation came as PLT’s billionaire founder Umar Kamani furloughed his staff at the taxpayers’ expense.
Rianne Eames told Fabulous how a pair of grey jogging bottoms she ordered from PrettyLittleThing, costing £20, arrived with a Fruit of the Loom label inside.
When she Googled them she discovered that elsewhere they sold for less than £7.
Umar’s wealth has allowed him to buy a fleet of cars, including two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a £300,000 Lamborghini Aventador, a £92,000 customised G-Class Mercedes and a high-end Range Rover.
He leads a playboy lifestyle, regularly travelling by private jet to socialise with the likes of P Diddy, Jennifer Lopez and Denzel Washington and Kylie Jenner.
Pretty Little Thing reported a turnover of £374m in 2018, six years after Umar launched the company.
