Last week Martin lewis and Edwina Currie clashed after she said he should stop using the word ‘catastrophe’ to explain the cost of living crisis.

Now on Good Morning Britain, this morning viewers were surprised to see former MP Edwina Currie on the show talking about the energy crisis, with a life-size cardboard cut-out of Boris Johnson behind her.

Here he is!

Edwina said: “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.

She continued: “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.”

Martin Lewis was then seen with his head in his hands.

Nothing could explain the lunacy of Edwina Currie better than her insane backdrop.
She should not be on TV.
She should be getting help with her clear cognitive and mental health problems. https://t.co/D0Zs1PCqZl

'We all grew up in houses without central heating…' what an entirely useless statement. Like saying well we used to deliver mail by horse, lived through the bubonic plague, used candles instead of electricity.
