FURIOUS Martin Lewis put his head in his hands today as Edwina Currie handed out energy bills advice.
The money-saving expert also threw his pen down in shock as the former MP urged Brits to use tin foil to keep costs down.

She said on Good Morning Britain: “Here is a tip, something that is dirt cheap.
“Martin knows about this sort of thing, if you put some of this behind your radiators, it really works, it makes the whole room nice and warm,” holding up some foil-lined insulating.
“And it means you can turn down your thermostat without it causing you any more discomfort.
“Martin, Susanna most people my age have lived in houses without central heating but we are dependent on it now.
“Just that kind of little thing makes such a difference, moving the sofa away from the radiator, you don’t want to be heating the sofa, you want to be heating the room.”
It comes after the energy price cap was lifted with bills set to rocket to £3,549 on average per year.
Millions of Brits are facing increased costs with some bills more than doubling.
Groceries are also on the rise, with cucumber possibly going above £1.
Liz Truss is set to unveil a £100billion cost-of-living crisis rescue package within her first week of office if she becomes the new PM today, as is expected.
A Sun on Sunday poll sent a warning to her yesterday as four in five Brits believe the Government isn’t doing enough to ease the cost of living crisis.
Viewers were also quick to join Mr Lewis in mocking Edwina’s suggestion on GMB.
TV commentator Scott Bryan wrote on Twitter: “Martin Lewis is us all here.
“Tin foil” Of course” We could have solved it all with tin foil.”
Another viewer wrote: “Put that stuff behind your radiators’ No one can afford to put the radiators on!”
A third fumed: “Buy a new kettle’ ‘Stuff tin foil down the back of your radiator’ How out of touch & patronising can these people be? She’s actually taking exception at Martin Lewis calling a catastrophe a catastrophe!!”
