Martin Lewis on This Morning last week

Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has said he turned down an offer to appear on the celebrity version of The Traitors.

Filming on the first ever celebrity edition of the Bafta-winning reality show got underway on Tuesday, ahead of the show airing later this year.

Why did Martin Lewis turn down the chance to appear on the celebrity edition of The Traitors?

Posting on Instagram on Tuesday night, the TV personality admitted he had “FOMO looking at the Celebrity Traitors line-up”.

“I was asked if I wanted to do it, but said no as I couldn’t commit the time,” he claimed. “I hadn’t watched it then (but watched the last series after that and loved it) so now feel a little gutted – though I still don’t have the time.”

“Sigh!” he added.
