    We've heard about a jobs scam in North East Lincolnshire this morning.

    Citizens Advice Bureau in Grimsby is warning people not to pay any money to any company asking for payments for criminal record checks. 

    It's after a man applied for a job online and was asked to pay a fee for the check but when he turned up for an induction for the job, the company knew nothing about him.

    Two torsos, one well tones one less so.

    We've been talking about anabolic steroids this morning.

    They increase muscle mass and performance in sport, but can also cause serious health problems.

    It's as there is a big increase in the number of people using the steroids in our area.

    Public health experts say many of the cases they see are young men who are taking them for cosmetic reasons but they can cause heart and liver damage.
