He started to explain to one caller where they should save their inheritance, but the screen briefly went black. A shocked Holly and Josie waited for him to come back and he soon appeared back on screen and carried on.
Martin was none the wiser when he returned to the screen but heard a delayed “oh no”, and paused, before Holly and Josie told him he was “fine” and could carry on. But they were hit with a shocker when it happened again.

Holly and Josie shouted: “No!” at the screen, but as Martin came back seconds later Holly added: “Oh my God it’s like someone doesn’t want you to say that word. Martin we lost you again at the exact same moment.”
The expert looked bewildered but then took the moment to make sure he didn’t suffer yet another blunder. He rushed through his sentence and got it out without taking a breath.
Luckily, that was the end of his blunders and he didn’t have to deal with another as he answered the rest of his phone calls. Taking to social media, one user wrote: “Awkward!”, while another added: “Someone’s having fun with Martin’s WiFi.”
