ITV viewers flocked to complain about a guest on The Martin Lewis Money Show.
During Tuesday’s (December 10) live show, Martin was joined by retired sprinter Jeanette Kwakye as they discussed everything surrounding car finance.
Later in the show, Martin interviewed Nikhil Rathi, the chief executive of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
Martin, 52, grilled Rathi on a number of subjects as fans sent in their questions.
However, viewers were less than satisfied with Rathi’s answers as they took to social media to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Well, that bloke from the FCA was about as much use as a glass hammer, wasn’t he? Just endlessly parroting the same sentence over and over again. How do people like that end up in such high-powered jobs?”
A third remarked: “It seems Nikhil Rathi is under pressure from #MartinLewis not answering the questions confidently.”
Suggesting he was avoiding the questions, another declared: “Nikhil Rathi answers like a politician #martinlewis.”
After the interview had concluded, Martin thanked Rathi for appearing on the programme and answering questions live, claiming no politician has agreed to do that on his show.
Others complained about what the show was based on as another viewer fumed: “Why have you spent the final show of 2024 speaking about this topic? the UK is in financial shambles and this show is so far off the mark to actually help solve real people’s problems. #MartinLewis start discussing something useful!!!”
A second said: “Why is it always Car Dealers you go after? There are many things that people sell and make a commission and don’t disclose it. If you sell a product you should be entitled to make money! I assume you get a commission for working for ITV but I expect you to make money!”
As the show came to its conclusion, Martin announced that this was the final one of the year and they will be returning in 2025.
Martin said: “This is our last show before the end of the year. I want to say thank you very much to the production. Thank you to our audience here, thank you to Jeanette and most importantly of all, a huge thank you to everyone at home.
“This is a show that isn’t about watching, it’s about taking action and when you do that, that’s what gives me the buzz to do it.”
Martin signed off by wishing all viewers a happy Christmas and New Year.
Over on X, the presenter shared: “Thank you all for watching tonight. MSE Sally signing off for 2024… Hope you all enjoyed tonight’s show! #MartinLewis.”
Viewers rushed to praise the money saving expert, with one writing: “Brilliant as always Martin,” as a second echoed: “Excellent stuff Thank you.”
