Official Spice Girls T-shirts sold to raise money for Comic Relief's 'gender justice' campaign were made in a Bangladesh factory where women earn 35p an hour, an investigation has found.
The shock figure was revealed by The Guardian which found the charity tops - bearing the message '#IWannaBeASpiceGirl' - were produced by women forced to work up to 16 hours a day.
Money raised from the T-shirts, which cost £19.40, will be used to help 'champion equality for women and girls here in the UK,' according to Comic Relief.

The charity also claimed that it has 'been funding programmes tackling gender-based sexual and domestic violence and supporting women and girl’s empowerment since [it] began.'
So the news that those manufacturing these latest T-shirts are 'harassed and verbally abused' will come as a shock to the organisation which claims it wants 'the elimination of violence and discrimination based on gender and sexuality.'
Dozens of celebrities have been spotted sporting the garments, including Jessie J, Holly Willoughby, Sam Smith and Jessica Ennis-Hill.
Uploading a picture of himself wearing the T-shirt on Instagram, Sam Smith said: 'Everyone please please go and support the Spice Girls and their power up campaign with comic relief by purchasing one of these cute t shirts. It’s for a beautiful cause #iwannabeaspicegirl.'

Holly Willoughby also uploaded a picture of herself wearing the T-shirt to Instagram, with the hashtag #iwannabeaspicegirl
Jessie J and Jessica Ennis-Hill both uploaded pictures of themselves wearing the T-shirts. But the T-shirts have now been revealed to have been made in a factory where women are only paid 35p an hour
While both Willoughby and Ennis-Hill also uploaded pictures of themselves wearing the T-shirts to Instagram with the hashtag #iwannabeaspicegirl.
The Spice Girls themselves - now comprising Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell - also posed in the T-shirts to launch the campaign.
Both the Spice Girls and Comic Relief told The Guardian they were 'shocked' to hear about the conditions in the factory, and there is no suggestion they or the celebrities wearing the T-shirts knew of what was going on.
When five become four: (L-R) Geri Horner, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Mel B have finally announced that they're reuniting for a six-date UK tour next summer. But they'll be hitting the road without their bandmate Victoria Beckham
Represent, which was commissioned to produce the T-shirts, said it took 'full responsibility' for using the manufacturer behind the garment.
While the company that owns the factory, Interstoff Apparels, used to make the T-shirts said it would conduct an investigation but said the claims were 'not true.'
The news comes as the Spice Girls announced they would no longer be singing and dancing under the banner of 'Girl Power' anymore.
Instead they would be using the slogan 'People Power', a move which Buton told The Sun was 'about equality and bringing everyone together.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
