A family says a new price cap rise on energy bills means they will face choosing between paying for food and electricity. Mum-of-three Rebecca Bryant, 31, said her electricity bills have already doubled and her gas trebled in recent months.
Today Ofgem confirmed an 80 per cent rise in the price cap - sending the average household's yearly bill from £1,971 to £3,549 from October 1.
Rebecca, who lives with her boyfriend John Wynn, 45, and their daughter Lilly Wynn, seven, in Lydney, Gloucestershire, now fears she'll have to choose between food and electricity. Already living on frozen food, the family are now considering selling their family car to make ends meet.
