A BRAVE female reporter has gone undercover to reveal the dangerous and deadly working conditions inside Saudi Arabia.

More than 21,000 workers have died in just eight years since Mohammed bin Salman launched his Saudi Vision 2030 project, according to shocking new statistics.

Staff have complained of feeling like "trapped slaves" and "beggars" in the country.

Serious allegations of missed payments, working illegal hours and a number of clear human rights violations have all been made.

Terrified workers and the heartbroken family members of workers who have died since moving to Saudi have revealed the horrors they've faced in recent years in ITV's latest expose.

Dubbed "Kingdom Uncovered: Inside Saudi Arabia" the documentary speaks on the deadly issues experienced firsthand for many.

It goes inside the illegal practices and terrible violations many say are being committed each day under the guise of constructing some of the world's priciest building projects.

The divisive ruler of the Kingdom, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has been at the forefront of trying to develop the oil state into a global tourism hub.

He has splashed trillions to create his Saudi Vision 2030 project which features complexes sch as the flagship NEOM which includes fantasy ideas such as The Line.

KSA does NOT have a good track record with foreign workers. In fact, a lot of countries in the Middle East don't, but I suppose this is par for the course for those who don't do research.

Then again, I've been known to be one of the most reckless things on the planet, so who am I to talk, huh? Glad I was only caught twice, and with a warning instead of a ticket.
