Martin Lewis says stop using your washing machine during these hours

As the cost of living crisis continues to pinch millions of Brits pockets, there is a way to save on energy bills when washing your clothes, according to consumer and money expert Martin Lewis.

The finance guru warned that using high-energy appliances during peak times could mean you're faced with a larger bill as he chatted with This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield about soaring living costs. Because of this, one person who contacted the show said they were considering switching to an Economy-7 meter to help save energy, the Daily Record reports.

Martin Lewis said: "We are looking at energy difficulties this winter. We hope there will not be any blackouts." He added that the peak time for energy usage is between 4pm and 7pm and said that we all need to make an effort to ensure that blackouts don't happen.
