Martin Lewis halts Money Show Live to share energy bill news as he holds Grant Shapps to account

The topic of energy prices and the cost of living continues to cause confusion and worry. Martin Lewis, however, was praised for an optimistic prediction on energy bills during his latest Money Show Live show.

The consumer champion was unravelling some of the questions surrounding the topic as well as "making mincemeat" of Tory MP Grant Shapps during an interview, according to one viewer. Martin fronted another edition of his finance show on Tuesday (March 7).

The episode tackled the subject of energy bills as Ofgem confirmed the price cap will be reduced from April by £1,000 to £3,300 for someone on typical use. Despite this, energy bills are still set to rise as the Government is expected to lift the energy price guarantee. The Government has previously subsided energy bills, saying an average household would pay around £2,500 for their energy.
