Money saving expert Martin Lewis has shared a number of tips on keeping warm as some people across the UK become "so desperate" for help amid soaring energy bills. He says he would usually have advice on how to save money on bills, but the cost of living crisis enveloping the country has left him with no alternatives.
The energy price cap has risen to £1,971, a 54% jump, adding hundreds of pounds to energy costs and experts have predicted that the cap could rise a further £600 in October, taking the average bill to £2,571. The Government has been criticised over its support measures announced in chancellor Rishi Sunak's Spring statement, as millions of households are forced into financial difficulty.
Mr Lewis, who is now a Good Morning Britain presenter, said people can wear heated USB gloves, hand warmers, an electric gilet or an electric blanket to stay warm without turning the heater on, reports LincolnshireLive. He said: "I felt sad asking my team to put this together, but my email bag is full of folk so desperate they can't put the heat on, I wanted to try some help. Pls share."
