And he warned others they may be missing out on significant sums of cash.
He said: "There's £27 BILLION sitting in lost, old pensions. Are you one of those with £10,000s hidden? After watching one of my TV shows on lost pensions, Rob got in touch to say he'd checked the free Pension Tracing Service, after it'd triggered a memory of signing up to a long forgotten pension in his first job 30 years ago.
"This helped him locate his old provider, and he found he'd paid in £24,500, and it was now worth £97,000.
"Gobsmacked, he then checked through his box of old papers, and found another pension from the 1990s he'd paid £600 into, traced it, and was shocked to find it was now worth £24,000."
Mr Lewis added: "This is my long way of saying... it's worth a check."
