Viewers of The Martin Lewis Money Show were left gushing after the money-saving expert gave a special shout-out to his wife Lara Lewington.
Last night’s episode was a 10-year special of the ITV show, and host Martin had nothing but sweet words to say about Lara.
Martin Lewis’ ‘beautiful’ moment with wife
The 50-year-old’s long-running ITV show sees him help viewers with their money struggles.
His programme is even more important in the current climate, what with the cost-of-living crisis still raging.
However, in last night’s episode, which was pre-recorded, Martin stopped the show halfway through to give a “beautiful” dedication to someone special.
What did Martin Lewis say about Lara?
During the episode, co-host Angellica Bell spoke about when they did the show during the peak time of the coronavirus pandemic back in 2020.
To observe social distancing measures, Martin had to stay at home and co-host Angellica had to present from the studio with a skeleton crew.
“I was here, you were at home,” Angellica recalled to Martin, before adding: “And those shows wouldn’t have happened without Lara.”
She then pointed towards Lara, Martin’s wife, who was in the audience.
The studio audience all cheered for Martin’s wife, as he gave her a special shout-out for helping behind the scenes.

“Lara, who is a presenter in her own right, gave up her Thursday afternoons and took it so seriously,” he revealed.
Talking directly to Lara, he said: “You put your headphones on and you were printing the cards, and you were talking to the team and allowing me to focus on content.”
“You are wonderful I love you, thank you,” he added.
“It’s a pleasure, love you too,” Lara replied, with tears filling up in her eyes.
We’re not crying, you are….
