Martin Lewis has defended his decision to pay for a Twitter blue tick, as people unfollow the finance expert.
The social media giant stripped certain celebs and public figures of the authentication mark on Thursday. After scrapping the free feature last month, Twitter users must now pay to keep their "legacy" check marks that proves accounts are the real deal - by subscribing to Twitter Blue for £9.60 a month.
While many accounts refused to pay for a blue tick, financial journalist Martin Lewis has forked up the cash to keep his verification. The savings guru said he a good reason to, as he feels "obligated" as a money advisor.
