Do 1p an hour USB gloves recommended by Martin Lewis work?

Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis has had his team create a new guide - including the best ways to keep warm as energy prices spiral. Martin's advice if you are struggling to pay the gas and electricity bills is to 'heat the person, not the room'.

That means that instead of turning on the central heating, or even a space heater, you can do simple things such as put on extra layers - or invest in cheap and simple personal heaters such as a heated gilet or USB gloves.

USB gloves warm your hands thanks to a small element which is powered via a USB cable - either plugged into a computer or into the type of adapter you use for your mobile phone. You can also use a portable power bank. The gloves can be bought for less than £5 and can cost less than 1p an hour to run.
