HIS high profile as a Good Morning Britain host and as the Money Saving Expert has been a bittersweet experience for Martin Lewis.
It has meant people listen to his sage advice – but it has also seen his image used to scam people by associating him with online cons.
He told the Mid Point Podcast: “Someone messaged me yesterday saying, ‘I know someone who’s gonna take their own life because they’ve lost £200,000 because they put money in an investment that had your name on it’.
“Well, it wasn’t me! It’s the scam.
“That’s why it’s so painful.
“I’m very fortunate and lots of people have much harder lives than I do, but I find the pressures of the responsibility difficult.”
It certainly sounds a lot to shoulder.
