The deadly effects of diet pills. Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? And is bone broth a cure or a con?

When Scottish couple Sheila and Michael took out a pre-payment funeral plan, they thought they were helping to make things easier for friends and relatives. But a visit from the police some months later revealed that they were one of tens of people ripped off by the undertaker, who had simply stolen their money.

Mouldy homes are a major health hazard. In Telford, Chloe鈥檚 one year old daughter is suffering serious ill health living in a mouldy home. Housing campaigner Kwajo Tweneboa holds landlords to account for problems such as mould, damp, infestation and neglect, and shares his tips for how to make sure landlords are keeping their tenants safe.

We look at bone broth, a new fad on social media with over 150 million views on Tik Tok. Apparently, it鈥檚 anti-aging, good for digestion and gut health, can support your immune system and even help you sleep better.
However, we answer the big question on all our lips鈥sn鈥檛 this just soup?

We also look at the dangerous side of diet pills as we meet a mother whose daughter tragically died after taking the illegal weight-loss drug DNP.

And we get to the bottom of an age old question - is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
