During Tuesday’s visit to the ITV studios, the This Morning money expert, 52, returned to the helm of the money saving programme alongside his co-star Jeanette Kwakye where they discussed the latest financial deals.
The biggest topic of the show was how viewers can check if they can boost their affecting Brits aged between 40 and 73. The dad-of-one explained how fans can turn £800 into £5,000 by boosting state pensions before the door slams shut in April 2025. But things took an unexpected turn moments before the live show ended, as the TV presenter collapsed on the show.

During the last quarter of the show, he confessed that he was losing his voice after battling through the wave of questions from viewers during the show. He could be seen visibly coughing throughout the programme, taking frequent water breaks inbetween each question to help dampen his struggles.
Attempting to pass on the closing comments to his colleague Jeanette, he confessed in between coughs: “I’m really close to the end on time. That’s it from me. my voice has gone, JK”. The brunette beauty immediately shared her sympathies as she replied: “Oh no! I Was going to ask you what’s going on next week” before she burst into laughter as the host took another sip of his drink.
As his voice grew more gravelly, he added: “We’re probably going to be doing wills and power of attorneys and difficult conversations but it may change, I don’t know, we may be doing savings. Let me know which you prefer.
“Thank you to Jeanette, thank you to the audience here, thank you to everyone upstairs. I’m going to lie down, goodnight” he concluded before he dropped to the floor as the audience burst into applause.

It comes after the broadcaster caused chaos moments into his evening show after fans crashed the government website just five minutes into the show. As he welcomed viewers back to the show, he revealed: “Welcome back. Tonight it’s all about boosting your by possibly tens of thousands of pounds for an urgent dadline.
“I predicted it before the break, the government website that do the checks has gone down, apparently it went down five minutes into the programme. It’s going to struggle, it’s like a denial service error but there’ll be time still to do it. Keep watching and learning what you need to do while you can get in touch.”
The TV star went on to reveal that he did inform the company about the topic of his financial show before starting the show, but admitted that “no website can cope” with the flood of checks from his viewers. It didn’t take long before fans flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share teir complaints online.
One user asked: “Are all government sites gonna crash tonight, this is the pension forecast tool Martin Lewis is currently talking about on screen #martinlewis.” Another echoed: “#MartinLewis caused the Gov site to crash again” Keep trying folks! Could be well worth it. @itvMLshow.” A third chimed in with: “Looks like we’ve crashed the site again @martinSLewis #martinlewis.”
The Martin Lewis Money Show Live airs on Tuesdays from 8pm on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX.
