Jess Glynne has accused a London restaurant of "pure discrimination" after she was turned away for wearing a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.

The singer made the accusation in an Instagram post, but her use of the word "discrimination" was criticised in the wake of global Black Lives Matter protests, with one social media user describing her attitude as "white privilege at its finest".

The restaurant's website states that its dress code is "smart casual" and advises guests not to wear sportswear or workout trainers.

Martin 'Beanz' Warde and Helen Vaughan joined us for The Week Trending to discuss this and some of the other stories making headlines this week.
