'Asians need to get over their obsession with dark skin'

Twenty-year-old male model Jeenu Mahadevan, who is of Sri Lankan descent, says Asians need to get over their obsession with dark skin.

Jeenu Mahadevan, who was raised in Norway and modelled for the likes of Givenchy and Burberry, says that the fashion world is making progress on becoming more inclusive. But is that the case in our Asian communities, where traditionally fair skin has been favoured? Also in the show, rising star of the Pakistani music industry Ali Sethi talks about his first time performing in Manchester and his east/west fusion of music. Then, we preview the Brexit vote in Parliament. We hear from our panelists who tell us whether they want MPs to support Theresa May's deal or not.
