Some 6.7 million people plan to cut back on showers and baths to afford rising energy costs over winter, a survey suggests.

The poll for National Debtline found 45% of people are heading into the winter period worried about their finances, with one in four reporting this is having a negative effect on their health and one in five (22%) saying they are regularly losing sleep over money concerns.
