Hedgehogs; Turkish dentists; Guarantor loans

How you can really help endangered hedgehogs without spending lots of money at the pet shop, plus a warning from dentists about celebrities who promote cosmetic surgery in Turkey.

Lots of celebrities are jetting off to Turkey to get veneers on their teeth - in exchange the celebrities will promote the dental clinic on their social media pages and in paparazzi shoots. But dentists here are warning the treatments can be really invasive, and there's a cost to upkeep veneers for life.

Hedgehogs have been added to an endangered mammals list, so we're buying more houses and food to help them... but do you really need all these hedgehog accessories? We look at what cheap things you can do to encourage them into the garden.

There's more complaints about guarantor loans, where a family member guarantees payments if you can't keep up with them. We speak to the families left struggling to pay off these loans where interest is high.

And the small high street travel agents lobbying the government for extra financial help over the winter months.
