Financial journalist Martin Lewis has explained why he was made to return his OBE, after one of his tweets left his followers confused.
Martin, 50, went to lengths to clarify that once you are awarded a CBE, like he recently was, you are no longer permitted to keep your OBE medal.
Speaking to The Sun, Martin said: “I very kindly received my CBE earlier in the year but I did a tweet that I had to give the OBE back – many people thought I’d just got the CBE but I hadn’t – but I just received a letter from the people in charge of such things saying I had to send the OBE back.
