'My mum doesn't like me using sunbeds'

New guidelines on the treatment of melanoma - the most deadly form of skin cancer - are being unveiled by the health watchdog NICE. It's hoped they will end a wide variation in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma across the NHS in England.
More than 2,000 people died from melanoma in 2012 and the number of cases is growing faster than any of the most common cancers.
Experts believe the rise is largely down to an increase in foreign holidays and the use of sunbeds. Dan Johnson reports from a tanning shop in Wakefield, where he meets loyal customer Sam Holden.
