Peter Foster is Australia’s most notorious conman — jailed on three continents for his audacious swindles. Foster is the man, who with pin-up girl Samantha Fox at his side, made millions out of tea. No ordinary tea. Foster’s tea was said to stop people from smoking, then he claimed it led to weight loss. It did neither.

But now, just out of jail in Australia, Peter Foster tells Liz Hayes he’s going straight.
