A mother who gave up her three children to be looked after by teenagers for a controversial new BBC Three show has insisted that she has no regrets.
The Baby Borrowers, which sees teenage couples taking care of children aged from six months to 14 years for three days, has been described as "irresponsible and sick" by children's charities.
However, 33-year-old Louise Burton has insisted that her kids Henry, 11, Lily, 9, and Alfred, 7, were well looked after and enjoyed their "little holiday". Although producers offered Louise the opportunity to keep an eye on how her children were coping, she refused and stayed at her home 25 miles away for the duration of filming.
"I'd happily do it all again," Burton told the Daily Star. "The children thought it was a challenge and they feel quite 'celebrity' about it. There was nothing at all to make me uneasy. If there was any danger the production team would be in there."
