The money saving expert Martin Lewis was left with his head in his hands after a former Conservative minister said that people should put foil behind their radiators to heat up their home better. Mr Lewis was hosting ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday, September 5, with one of the guests being former MP Edwina Currie.
Edwina Currie advised people "not to get emotional" about the crisis and told Martin Lewis that his choice of words to describe the crisis were "not helpful". As Edwina started urging viewers to place foil foam material behind radiators and offered other tips, Martin reminded her just how much bills had risen and the likely impact that this would have on families.
Martin's response sparked a flood of comments on Twitter, as he was backed by viewers - while Edwina was called out, the Mirror reports. Edwina had said: "What we have to do is not get emotional about it to the exclusion of using common sense, to try and sit down to try and think about what we can all do, whether it is in businesses or in homes.
