The energy price cap will be rising by 80 per cent in October, Ofgem have announced.
This will mean the average energy bill will jump to £3,549 - that equals to £295.75 each month. Martin Lewis has warned this will be 'catastrophic' to thousands of households with many expected to fall into fuel poverty if further help is not provided.
In protest of the rising costs, the campaign group Don't Pay UK are racking up support with calls for people to not pay their energy bills on October 1.
