Kaye Adams asks if there is anything wrong with borrowing from the bank of mum and dad.

The average loan young Scots are taking out with their parents has risen steeply to nearly Β£4,000, according to a survey.
Last year, the so-called "bank of mum and dad" loaned 29% more money to their offspring, compared with 2015.
The Bank of Scotland report found more children aged 18-24 were borrowing from their parents, but numbers were down in the 25-34 age bracket.
