Wiki.

Rip-Off Britain is a BBC One daytime series which exposes Britain's Rip-Offs and helps consumers. It began on 30 November 2009, presented by former news journalists Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Jennie Bond. Newsreader Julia Somerville replaced Bond from series three.

Rip-Off Britain has had three spin-off series: Rip-Off Britain: Food, Rip-Off Britain: Holidays and Rip-Off Britain: Live. The live shows were shown for one week, twice a year, but ended after ten live series due to budget constraints.

In 2024, Angela Rippon partnered with Smart Energy GB, alongside Ross Kemp, to launch a campaign promoting the installation of smart meters to consumers. The integrated adverts aired on television in the UK from November 2023 into 2025. Due to this, the BBC saw a conflict of interest, as Rip-Off Britain often holds energy companies and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to account on the roll out of smart meters. The promotion of such meters could impact the public's trust of the programme, and so it was mutually agreed that Angela Rippon would take leave from BBC productions for 12 months.

It was announced on 19 December 2024 that Louise Minchin would replace Angela Rippon for the third and final block of series 16, airing from 6 to 24 January 2025, and full-time from series 17, airing April 2025 onwards.
