Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis hit back at former Conservative MP Edwina Currie on Good Morning Britain today, September 5, after she made controversial comments about the cost of living crisis. Edwina sparked outrage amongst viewers and left Martin with his head in his hands as she implored people 'not to get emotional' as energy bills rise.
The writer also told Martin that his choice of words relating to the crisis were 'not helpful', as she expressed her disapproval at the rising cost of living being described as a 'catastrophe'. She then offered tips on how to keep homes heated over the winter, with Martin stepping in to 'school' her, winning the praise of those watching along at home.
Edwina told viewers that, to save on energy bills, they could place tin foil behind their radiators, alongside other tips. While she thought she was providing helpful advice as she shunned the idea that we are in a crisis, Martin reminded her just how much bills had risen, and the likely impact this will have on families, The Mirror reports.
