'Jamie Saves Our Bacon' Campaign Launched

In 'Jamie Saves Our Bacon', the campaigner will fight for British pork farmers who are being hit by cheap imports, reports DailyRecord.co.uk.

He said: "Seventy per cent of the pork we import is from countries with lower welfare standards than ours and would have been illegal to produce here."

The show - which follows his campaigns on school dinners and battery chickens - is part of Channel 4's Great British Food Fight season.
