In Kruger National Park, South Africa, two

Ross Kemp looks at
the damage done
by online gambling
● DOCUMENTARY / 7.30pm / ITV
There’s a shocking statistic
in tonight’s hard-hitting
Ross Kemp documentary
Living with Online Gambling
Addiction – it’s thought that
around 550 people die from
gambling-related suicide in the
UK every single year. Ross
meets two couples whose sons
took their own lives after
becoming addicted to online
gambling, as well as several
people trying to deal with
crippling debts after getting
caught up in online betting.
He even hears from one
woman, Karen, who spent her
last £200 on virtual jackpot
machines, meaning she
couldn’t buy a birthday present
for her young son. Then there’s
Alex, a teacher, who lost
£127,000 in just 26 minutes
playing online roulette. A
sobering watch... ★★★★^ HD
