Reality TV star Katie Price's perfume has been pulled from Superdrug's shelves because of "ethical" reasons.

It follows a report in The Observer newspaper claiming Indian workers making the bottles were paid less than the minimum wage.

A spokeswoman for the high street shop said that because of their "robust ethical trading policy" it had been decided to remove the fragrances.

Price's spokesperson said production has now been moved to the UK.

Sunday's Observer claimed that workers at a factory in India are paid 26p an hour to make perfume bottles for Price's Stunning and Besotted fragrances.

A Superdrug spokeswoman said: "As a business, we have a robust ethical trading policy so that our customers can be confident that they are buying products that are made in an ethical way.

Better than saying it is crap and not selling. :D
