She asked personal banker Aysha Davis to add her grandson’s name as a co-signatory to her account. The boy was with her, as was a woman of around 40, who was her daughter, according to the impostor. Gloria Hunniford, presenter of BBC1’s hit show Rip Off Britain was recently scammedThe licence was verified by two security scanners, so their request was authorised. That same day the account was drained of, first, £102,000, and then a further £18,000, all of it paid into the account of the supposed grandson, a 17-year-old called Alan Dowie.The first Gloria knew money had been taken from her account was when Alan Dowie’s bank got suspicious and rang Santander, who in turn got in touch with her. ‘I was a bit shocked that it was the other person’s bank that noticed unusual activity, and not Santander with whom I have an account I hadn’t touched for two years,’ says a baffled Gloria. ‘I still wonder why they hadn’t spotted that tens of thousands of pounds were suddenly withdrawn in the space of 24 hours.’Some of the money was spent at Zara, £80,000 went on Rolex watches and nearly £19,000 was transferred from Dowie’s account into that of another teenager.

Both young men were captured, charged and pleaded guilty, while Aysha Davis was cleared of any involvement. The two women involved, however, have not been caught.Ask Gloria today for her reaction to what amounted to daylight robbery and she doesn’t hesitate. ‘I’ve gone from shock to anger to frustration to what I can only describe as lingering fear. The driving licence was a fake but it was in my full name – Mary Winifred Gloria Hunniford – accompanied by a photo of the woman purporting to be me. But how did she know I banked at Santander? And how did she get hold of the details of my account? And why were no security checks run? If I want to take money out of my own account I have to answer security questions. The fraudster, left, and Gloria, right. In June, a woman walked into a branch of Santander in London’s Croydon North End claiming to be Gloria and brandishing a driving licence with her picture on, not Gloria’s, to prove itThat was not apparently the case when the impostor dealt with the personal banker, whose explanation when questioned by police was that she’d never heard of Gloria Hunniford, had no idea what she looked like

, and that she was three months’ pregnant at the time and maybe wasn’t as vigilant as she should have been.Gloria’s two sons, Paul and Michael, later teased their mother that she ought to be more concerned about anyone believing the woman in the photo looked anything like her than about the money being stolen. Certainly it seems incredible that glamorous Gloria could ever be mistaken for someone who looked so different.As soon as Santander found out what had happened they reimbursed Gloria. ‘Michael’s attitude was that should be the end of the matter. But that’s not how I felt. Apart from the principle of it, this woman is out there with “my” fake driving licence and that makes me feel very vulnerable. ‘The Fraud Squad say they’ll get her eventually but, in the meantime, she’s running around. I’m told there are websites which give you step-by-step instructions on how to make a fake passport, driving licence, whatever.’So how come the bank’s scanners didn’t expose the fake licence?

‘The police told me that banks invest a lot in guarding against credit card fraud because it’s ultimately their money being stolen. But when it’s our money it’s less of a priority.‘Apparently, in the bottom left-hand corner of your driving licence, there’s a symbol which is meant to guard against fraud when placed in a scanner. But someone from the Fraud Squad told me it’s not foolproof. After my case, Santander have installed a much more sophisticated system. My view is that it shouldn’t have taken a high-profile case to trigger this.’One distressing aspect of the scam was the impostor claiming the woman with her was her daughter. ‘That was so hurtful,’ says Gloria. ‘I lost my daughter Caron to cancer 12 years ago. The woman impersonating me hadn’t even bothered to find it out. It felt like just another little twist of the knife.’The whole experience has left Gloria sceptical about banks, to say the least. ‘Where can I put my money now and know that it’s safe?

I’ve always been meticulous in handling my finances. I’ve never trusted online banking. I still write cheques. I won’t even allow my agent to put money I’ve earned into my account; I insist on paying it in myself.‘We didn’t have very much when I was growing up in Northern Ireland. My father taught us to be very careful with our money. This was my savings account, for heaven’s sake. Short of keeping the money in a sock under my bed, I couldn’t have kept a closer eye on it.’Now she’s deciding what she’s going to do with her hard-earned savings and where she’s going to bank them. Unbelievably, the year before, someone working at Santander had tried to access her account with the result that Gloria had to change all her numbers. ‘Since this case came to public attention, I’ve been approached by a number of private banks and I may well go with one of them. I haven’t decided yet but I think I may spread it around a bit.’In her mid-70s, when she might quite reasonably content herself with grandchildren and gardening, Gloria Hunniford has never been more current, more controversial.

For example, her recent remarks as a Loose Women panellist about footballer Ched Evans after he’d been cleared of rape in a retrial as not being someone she’d recommend her grandsons to consult for sex education. That resulted in an on-air apology, or was it? ‘No,’ she says firmly, ‘it was a statement.’She’s never been one to apologise for her opinions. ‘I’ve always been opinionated and Loose Women is a forum for that. But then I don’t think I’d have survived in this industry for this long if I’d been a lukewarm sort of a person.’And she certainly can’t imagine hanging up her microphone yet. ‘My sons sometimes suggest I go off and live in our house in the south of France for three or four months at a time, but I find my work stimulating. I learn something every day. I meet new people and my friends are in the industry.’One of those friends – for 45 years now, she says – is Cliff Richard. She’s been the best sort of friend to him. But because I’ve known him for so long, there’s no edge to my friendship.

I just want what’s best for him.’ She was appalled at the way he was treated over the false historical sex allegations against him. ‘I needed him to know I was there for him, but I tried to offer practical help, too. For instance, I pointed him in the direction of the top-notch lawyer who’s been wonderful throughout his ordeal. But I wasn’t the only one. He’s got lots of friends. I just did what any friend would do.’Where does she stand on Cliff’s decision to sue the BBC and the South Yorkshire Police for the raid on his Berkshire home? ‘It’s not my business. But I will say this: whatever he wants to do is fine by me because he’s been through so much. I don’t mind going on record to say I believe that people shouldn’t be named for any crime until they’ve been charged – and I think the law ought to reflect that. I’d march alongside Cliff to Downing Street in support of that.’Her energy is boundless. She’s currently banging the drum on behalf of small dogs threatened by heart disease, a subject she’s very passionate about.

‘I’ve got two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Gemma is eight and Roxy’s four. Now my own babies have left home and have babies of their own, my dogs are my babies.’Back in the summer Gemma keeled over on the pavement. ‘We immediately took her to the vet. We’d always known she had a bit of a heart murmur which was why we’d been giving her the drug pimobendan.’ Now a global study by the Royal Veterinary College has found that pimobendan prolongs life in dogs at risk of developing the condition mitral valve disease (MVD), which leads to heart failure. If it’s given as soon as the first signs of danger appear, it can delay the onset of the disease by an average of 15 months. Small-breed dogs like Gloria’s are especially vulnerable to MVD.‘As it turned out, Gemma was already on the right drugs but had reacted badly to a hot day. My message is simple: if you’ve got a small dog – a dachshund, a miniature poodle or a terrier, for example – ask your vet to run a heart test when they reach the age of five.’Does Hurricane Gloria ever slow down?
