We all define ourselves by our profession. But what if your job was demeaning, poorly paid and tedious?

James Bloodworth is a journalist who spent six months undercover living and working across Britain, taking on the country's most gruelling low paid jobs.

He has written a book about this experiences called Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain, and joined us to discuss it.

Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain will be available in Ireland from 1 March.
