Campaigners claim hundreds of people are being conned into marriage by foreign fraudsters looking for the right to remain in the UK.

Campaigners from Immigration Marriage Fraud UK claim hundreds of people are being conned into marriage by foreign fraudsters looking for the right to remain in the UK. Kim tells us her story. She says she married her husband Laye, a Senegalese national, and had prepared to take in his children, before she discovered he was a bigamist who was using her to obtain UK citizenship. Laye left Kim as soon as he was granted Indefinite Leave to Remain after six years of marriage. We speak to callers who say it has happened to them. Plus Britain's most decorated Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey on her preparations to try and break the women's hour world record for track cycling. And we speak to a 70 year old woman who fought off a would- be robber with a mop.
