'Fake homeless' beggars making hundreds a day targeting tourists in London - even though they own homes
The fraudsters admit not being homeless in 60 Days on the Streets, he discovered several fake beggars in London's West End who actually have homes.
The episode later shows Ed walking with Neil and another fake homeless man through train barriers for free as they prepare to spend £50 they have just earned on booze and drugs. But after a day's grafting - where he will usually make around £100 - he goes back to his Brixton flat for a hot meal and a shower.
But the stories featured in the documentary were also heartbreaking - with one ex M&S model who appeared in Coronation Street and EastEnders as a child opening up about her life.
