Martin Lewis was left emotional after a couple said he'd "saved their lives" when they were in £30,000 debt and their dad suffered a major brain injury. Mr Lewis was visibly moved by a clip shown during The Martin Lewis Show on ITV which showed the MoneySavingExpert meeting couple Emma and Nick back in 2017. Emma explained that her partner suffered a major brain injury in a motorcycle accident seven years previously which left him in hospital for nine weeks and unable to work.
Emma explained that Nick suffered regular seizures and severe memory loss and that following the MoneySavingExpert's advice closely had helped them turn their finances around. She said the couple had nearly £30,000 worth of debt at the time of his accident but were now debt free.
"It hasn't been fun but you saved my life at the time," she told Mr Lewis. "I used every hint and tip that you had, I've sold all my gold jewellery, credit card switches, I've done utility switches - everything."
