Good Morning Britain's Katy Rickitt has issued viewers with an urgent warning while appearing alongside her husband Adam, after the pair were defrauded of almost £50,000 in a shocking bank scam.
The 44-year-old Hollyoaks star took to his social media account to share the news with fans, after falling victim to an intricate and elaborate act of fraud. He also claims that the scammers 'knew everything about him'.
The actor said that he had received a text from a number alleging to be Barclays bank, warning that there had been 'suspicious activity' on his account - before receiving a call from an 0845 number, claiming to be the same bank's fraud department.
