Martin Lewis issues money-saving tip as GMB guest says she's 'embarrassed' she didn't know

Martin Lewis issued money-saving advice to members of the public during a special segment on Good Morning Britain. The consumer expert was showing them how easy it was to use comparison sites to see if they could save on energy bills. The viewers were seeking advice from Martin on whether to fix or switch.

One of the participants admitted she felt "embarrassed" over how simple it was to use and that she would be doing so in future, the Express reports . Susanna Reid, hosting alongside Martin, asked Cat from South Harrow, London: "What up until now has stopped you taking action?" She replied: "I am a busy mum of two, I work and if we have survived the day, the thought then of going on to my energy site and finding a password I have forgotten. It all just feels like too much.

How long?" Cat responded: "I am embarrassed to say how quick it was. It was less than three minutes for me to get a list of comparisons." Martin added: "There's busy but there's not THAT busy.

" Martin has shared crucial advice for Octopus Energy customers and other energy bill payers following the latest Ofgem price cap increase. As a result, households across the UK are now facing average bills of an eye-watering £1,717 from October 1. The presenter urged his social media followers: "If you are genuinely struggling, it's always worth speaking to the energy firm.

And if you are vulnerable, also ask to be put on the Priority Services Register." His guidance comes hot on the heels of re-posting a tweet from a customer expressing relief on Tuesday, October 1: "Martin, I contacted Octopus and said I was struggling on a low income. They asked me to complete a budget, which I did, and they have cancelled my standing charge for three months.

"Always worth asking if you're struggling. Thumbs up to Octopus.".
