Athlete turned presenter Colin Jackson reveals his spending secrets.

Live episode of the consumer series. An unemployed man reveals how responding to an ad for an apparently dream opportunity led to him being conned out of hundreds of pounds.

As the special week of live programmes from Glasgow continues, Julia Somerville, Angela Rippon, and Gloria Hunniford investigate more of the consumer stories making news, tackle more problems on the spot and catch up with cases they've explored in the past. 

Among today's reports, with one in ten job seekers targeted by fraudsters, a young dad of two reveals how responding to an ad for what seemed a dream opportunity led to him being conned out of hundreds of pounds he could ill afford to lose. Plus after complaints that plasters just aren't as sticky as they used to be, a test gets to grips with which are the most likely to stay put the longest. And athlete turned presenter Colin Jackson reveals his spending secrets.
