Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators.\n\nA woman claiming £1.7 million, after life-changing injuries left her unable to carry out the most basic tasks, is caught on camera shopping for flat-pack furniture. It’s curtains for a claim riddled with faked injuries and stolen identities when the scammers can’t get their stories straight. A footballer who wants a payout for a pothole fall is shown the red card when it’s revealed he’s suffered an identical injury on the pitch. \n\nThings that go bump in the night – it’s lights out for a claim made by an inmate who said he’d fallen out of a prison bed when his story doesn’t add up. And the yoga instructor whose social media exposed how she’d stretched reality and bent the truth about the extent of her injuries.
