Money saving expert Martin Lewis has stunned Twitter fans with a selfie, as he admitted he is “honoured” to be up for a BAFTA.
It’s the first time his team have been nominated for an award, so he marked the occasion by sharing a “dapper” selfie. Martin wrote: “On my way to the #baftas. Not holding much hope of a win as it’s a very tough category, so haven’t prepared a speech. Just honoured we’ve been nominated and I’ve been invited (for the first time). Wish me luck.”

Someone else commented: “If anyone deserves an award it’s you and your team,” while a fifth follower wrote: “Looking sharp! Doesn’t matter if you win or not, lots of grateful folk out here that appreciate your work.”
Martin issues plea to government
Meanwhile, the GMB star recently issued a plea to the government, saying they need to make it clearer to students that they could be entitled to more money.
According to Martin, the Student Loans Company website has “incorrect and likely misleading wording” regarding applications. Students could however be due more money if their parents have had a recent drop in income. Martin added the extra money as a result of the change could be a “lifeline” to many.
An SLC spokesperson said: “We always aim to make the information we provide to customers as clear and straightforward as possible. We have reviewed the information provided with our Government digital partner and will make it clearer at the earliest opportunity.”
