Hard-up families could see their energy bills skyrocket by almost 80 per cent by next year according to experts.

Utility consultancy BFY Group said they expect the bill cap to reach £3,850 between January and April next year.

This comes at an already challenging time where many people are already struggling to pay for food, fuel and their bills.
