Britons who are heading away for a week of winter sports during half term should make sure they take adequate travel insurance with them, moneysupermarket.com has warned.

The comparison website stresses the cost of travel insurance can be “really reasonable” when the amount of cover included is taken into account, such as medical expenses cover which can run into the millions for accidents or illness.

If you happen to be one of the unfortunate souls homebound due to blizzard conditions (like me and my staff), it might be a good night to get caught on your television viewing. CNBC’s American Greed program will feature one of the worst insurance fraud cases of all time.

Black Widows tells the tale of two grannies in California who help out old men down on their luck, offering friendship, shelter and food. In reality, Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt were con artists who took out life insurance policies on innocent old men and then had them killed.

Golay and Rutterschmidt, who are both serving life sentences in a federal prison, were inducted into 2008 Insurance Fraud Hall of Shame. American Greed airs at 9 p.m. eastern time on CNBC. Happy viewing.
