Martin Lewis has announced that he's now taking a break from work following "quite a week," with the news having prompted reaction from fans on social media this week. The presenter, 52, has spoken about a number of topics on various platforms in recent days, including on X, formerly known as Twitter , and through his self-titled BBC podcast. He's also been on ITV shows like Good Morning Britain .
His commentary this week has included discussing the news that there is set to be a General Election in the UK over the summer. He has also addressed upcoming changes to the energy price cap that have been announced, including in a video briefing that was shared with his followers on X. Martin - known for the Money Saving Expert brand - later took to the platform on Friday evening to share that he would be taking the break for a week.
It comes ahead of the bank holiday weekend and half term in the coming days. He stated that he will be spending time with his family. The journalist has been married to fellow presenter Lara Lewington, known for shows like the BBC's Click, for more than a decade, and the couple are parents to Sapphire.
Sharing his plans, Martin wrote: "Wow it's been quite a day! Quite a week! So I'm pleased to say - I'm off. Off social & work that is, as it's Mini MSE's half term, so I'm taking off my MoneySavingExpert cap, and replacing it with my 'daddy' one. Hope you have a great week.
See you a week Monday." Boots rivals M&S with free gift that gets shoppers £123-.
