A charity is warning people to be wary of fraudsters collecting money in its name after a woman in Tonbridge became the latest to be scammed.

The cafe customer thought she was donating to Disability Rights UK when she was approached by a young girl presenting as deaf.

Also in today’s podcast, a thug who left the mother of his child “unrecognisable” after a ferocious beating told police he had "destroyed her face".

He made a harrowing 999 call after he had viciously assaulted his ex-partner with such force that he broke her jaw in three places.

Council bosses in Ashford have apologised after a workman buried his cat in a tenant’s garden.

The woman said she was left stunned when the subcontractor turned up with a shovel and made the bizarre request during the refurbishment of her bathroom.

A Tunbridge Wells mum says she and her children were left upset and disappointed after taking them to see Santa at a tourist attraction only to find it had shut without notice.

She says she received a confirmation email that morning - but when they got there it was locked up with no-one in sight.

And in football you can hear from Gillingham striker Elliott Nevitt and from boss Mark Bonner ahead of what’s shaping up to be a busy festive period.

It all kicks off on Boxing Day when the Gills travel to take on Colchester United.
