After separating from his wife of 25 years Graham met gold trader Maryanne online and fell in love.

But then she told him she was stuck in Dubai and needed his financial help to get back to the UK, setting in motion a downward spiral that would cost Graham thousands – and lose him his home.

Ash and Kym pick up the case, which gets even murkier when the mysterious Maryanne starts making financial demands of them too.
