The Rip Off Britain team investigate the jaw-dropping tale of how a company sent one family to a succession of villas it turned out they had no right to stay in.

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville investigate the jaw-dropping tale of how a company sent one family to a succession of villas it turned out they had no right to stay in, with the family only discovering the truth when one of the owners asked them what they were doing in his house.

As one woman reveals how a pilgrimage to Graceland ended with a stay in the heartbreak hotel when her wheelchair was damaged by the airline, the team explores what should happen if similarly vital possessions don't finish the journey in one piece.

Simon Calder has the lowdown on destinations that are exotic but affordable, and viewers who invested their life savings in dream properties near the Red Sea try to uncover why - five years on - their homes have yet to be built.
