Tomorrow, watchdogs will explain what banks must do to stop the cheats.

However, it has emerged that banks are secretly lobbying regulators to say they should not be responsible for the scams that cost families £1million a day.

The biggest five — Lloyds, RBS, Barclays, HSBC and Standard Chartered — made total profits of £9.3billion in the second quarter of this year.

Suzanne Raftery, an ex-Met Police fraud cop, said: “They often don’t care about the devastation these scams cause for people. They care about money.”

New proposals will see customers given timely warnings if banks notice suspicious activity.

Further measures will also be recommended to stop criminals opening accounts.

Watchdogs propose that banks which fail to meet new minimum standards must refund victims.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
