British Gas owner Centrica has revealed its operating profits hit £3.3billion last year as millions of Brits struggled to heat their homes.
This is more than triple the massive £948million the energy giant made the year before - and surpasses its previous highest ever yearly profit of £2.7billion in 2012.
It comes as energy bills are due to rise again in April, when the Energy Price Guarantee will be hiked from £2,500 a year for the typical household to £3,000.
