Villa Fraud, Tattoo Cover-ups, Metal-on-Metal Hips

Consumer affairs, including the new way criminals are targeting holidaymakers for their money, and E4's new resident tattoo artist Jay Hutton on covering up old tattoos.

Trip Advisor is being urged to increase warnings about fraud, after people using the listing website to book villas in Italy discovered their bookings are not real and their money has been stolen. Shari Vahl investigates.

Covering up the old with the new. Winifred Robinson speaks to 'tattoo fixer' Jay Hutton about how that old faded dolphin on your back can be given a new life.

Plus the hundreds of people taking action against the manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip implants, which left them with long term health problems.

Presented by Winifred Robinson
Produced by Natalie Donovan.
