A major energy supplier is offering free electric blankets to help customers keep their bills down.
Octopus Energy is gifting the cosy blankets to some of its 3.1 million customers as energy prices for the average household hiked from £1,971 to £2,500 per year on October 1.
Electric blankets can offer a cheaper alternative to keeping warm rather than switching on the central heating, which now comes at a premium.
