Martin Lewis has sent a lengthy letter to the Chancellor calling for April's rise in the Energy Price Guarantee to be scrapped.
The financial expert asked Jeremy Hunt to "urgently consider" postponing the 20% rise as it could be even more damaging amidst the current cost of living crisis.
Martin suggested that the additional rise from £2,500 to £3,000 in April could force nearly two million households into fuel poverty increasing the overall number to around 8.4million.
