Martin Lewis has been praised by viewers for challenging Chancellor Rishi Sunak about support measures the UK Government has announced to help millions of households across the country cope with the “sickening” rise in energy prices coming in April.
In a special energy edition of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live on ITV, the financial guru interviewed the Chancellor after Ofgem announced a 54 per cent rise in energy bills for 22 million customers across the UK, resulting in an annual increase of £693 to £1,791 for the average user.
Martin opened the show by telling viewers: “ Energy bills will rise a sickening 54 per cent in April, you’ll pay half again on top of what you pay now - on average £700 more a year.”
