ITV Good Morning Britain shakeup as usual show replaced tomorrow

Martin Lewis will be back on Good Morning Britain tomorrow presenting a special edition of the show.

The MoneySavingExpert founder will replace Richard Madeley and join Susanna Reid on the breakfast programme. Hosting a cost of living special, Martin will be sharing his tips and answering viewers' questions.

In a tweet, GMB said: "As the energy price cap is set to rise 54% on April 1st, @susannareid100 & @martinslewis will bring you a cost of living crisis special on Wednesday 30 March. Are you worried about your household bills? Or want some tips? Leave your questions below."

Susanna also shared details of what to expect during Tuesday's episode of GMB, reports WalesOnline. She told viewers: "Now with just a few days until the energy price cap goes up by 54%, a huge concern of course about the impact on energy bills, me and Martin Lewis are going to be doing a GMB special tomorrow morning. We are going to focus on the cost of living crisis, we'll look at what you can do to cope with the rising bills and Martin will be taking your questions throughout the morning."

The news comes after Martin explained why he was unable to take on GMB presenting full-time, despite many calls from fans. The financial guru's recent presenting stint on the show impressed viewers, so much so that many of them requested to make Martin a permanent presenter on the ITV news show.

But Martin ruled out the role and explained his reasons to his Twitter followers. Sharing why it wouldn't be possible, Martin said: "Many kind comments about me doing @GMB more permanently. Sadly the workload and hours mean it's not compatible with my day job, so I can't do more.

"Shame, as I enjoy the challenge. Yet being the Money Saving Expert is m'calling and where I think I've most impact. I can't risk that."

The Good Morning Britain cost of living special will air 6am to 9am on Wednesday, March 30 on ITV.
