Holidays disrupted by unwelcome guests and surprises are under the spotlight in this edition of the consumer investigation series, presented by Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville. A woman reveals how her longed-for break was ruined by bedbugs, and a family explains why they were horrified by what they were greeted with on arriving at their five-star hotel. Plus, how worried should we be by reports of marauding seagulls around British seaside resorts? And a sun cream test reveals surprising facts about the products we rely on to keep safe, as well as how we use them. Will a pricier cream provide any better protection? Also, Simon Calder has tips on how to save money in a favourite European destination.
