ITV’s GMB viewers all say the same thing as Martin Lewis hosts with Susanna Reid

ITV viewers were thrilled to see money saving expert Martin Lewis host Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (April 19).

Viewers are used to seeing the likes of Richard Madeley, Ben Shephard and Ed Balls host the daytime show with Susanna on weekdays.

But things were a little different this week as it was finance wizard Martin who appeared with Susanna to host an episode of Wallet Wednesday.

Wallet Wednesday is where Martin takes money questions from the public dishes out his wisdom in a bid to help people save money, which is especially important for those struggling during the cost-of-living crisis.

And it’s clear he’s a hit with viewers as many shared their excitement on Twitter during the show, with many tanking him for his money tips.

One suggested they were rather relieved to see Martin replace one of the regular hosts as they tweeted: “Thank goodness”

Another admitted they preferred him to Richard as they said: “Martin Lewis is on GMTV, makes the programme more adult orientated, than when the Alan Partridge tribute act is on.”

Thanking him, one said: “Martin Lewis just listened to you explain how inflation rate is worked out, and how it reflects on what we buy. Explaining it in such a ordinary way was fantastically done even I understand it easier and I’m a buisness owner. Top man.”

Another wrote: “Hurrah, it’s Martin Lewis.”

A fifth said: “You need a knighthood with everything you’re doing, Sir Martin Lewis. What do you thin.”

It comes after ITV announced last month that Martin would be made a permanent host on GMB following his regular work on the show.

Speaking about his new GMB job, Martin said: “To have the ability to hold politicians to account, over the cost of living, is a privilege and a responsibility.

“It’s a slight gear change from my usual work, but after years of answering complex questions, it’s nice for once to be asking them. So I was delighted when ITV offered me the role of regular presenter.”

Susanna added: “Martin Lewis is undoubtedly the voice of the nation when it comes to the cost of living crisis. Together we will continue to challenge politicians and hold them to account. I can’t wait to have him sitting next to me again at the GMB desk from next week.”
