We speak to the comedian, Deliciously Stella, whose new show at Edinburgh Festival parodies the clean eating bloggers, and we investigate the hidden charges on your phone bill.
We speak to the claimants of disability benefits who want to record their assessments. The Department for Work and Pensions say they can, but the rules are so strict they effectively stop you from doing it.
The comedian, Deliciously Stella, parodies the Clean Eating and Wellness bloggers who post pictures of their super healthy lifestyles on social media. We speak to her as she debuts her stand up show at Edinburgh Festival.

And, an update into our investigation on Fundraising Initiatives, a company that raised money for some of the UK's biggest charities. The Fundraising Regulator has criticised the RSPCA and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for not having proper oversight of the firm when it collected money. We speak to the RSPCA on how they're improving their fundraising teams.
