The Rip Off Britain team investigate viewers' holiday issues. A woman reveals how her break was ruined by bedbugs. Plus will a pricier sun cream provide superior protection?

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? Plus Simon Calder has tips on how to save money in a favourite European destination.
