The Great British Sewing Bee's Patrick Grant hits back at the 'constant pressure' to buy new clothes and says the BBC show has encouraged viewers to make their own outfits


The TV judge and tailor, 52, appeared on Friday's Loose Women and spoke about his concerns to guest host Joel Dommett , 38.

But Alex is no stranger to sewing, as she learnt the skill at a young age and while many children would buy their stuffed toys from a store, she chose to make her own. Also a fan of the environmentally friendly lifestyle and cutting down on waste, Suzy often uses charity shop curtains and bedsheets as material. He describes his garments and designs as 'jarring, garish or kitsch,' and enjoys DJing, rollerblading, writing, art, building Lego and playing video games.
