Martin’s Money Show specials often focus on a particular theme, such as how to make your money go further at Christmas. 

His latest upcoming special will be dedicated to helping viewers learn to budget their money better. 

The one-off Budget Special is set to air on ITV on Thursday October 31. 

A new series of The Money Show with Martin Lewis will also begin airing two days earlier on Tuesday 29 October.

Martin has hosted The Money Show since 2012, along with several special instalments over the years, several of which have been live, including 2022’s Energy and Cost of Living Special and the Emergency Mortgage Special last year. 

The news of Martin’s TV return comes after his wife Lara Lewington’s BBC technology series Click was axed after 15 years. 

She is now joining her husband over at ITV, albeit on a different show as she takes on a new role as the technology expert on Lorraine. 

Meanwhile, Martin will be scaling down his work for ITV and focusing solely on The Money Show for the rest of the year, having announced that he is temporarily stepping down from presenting on GMB until 2025.

Last week he wrote on X: “Thanks for the hugely positive feedback about @GMB today (from most anyway) and ta to the show for having me.

“That’s my last presenting shift til next year, as I choose not to do it while.

“@itvMLshow is on (it’s back later this month) so I can focus my TV energies on that (tho I’m sure I’ll pop on for the odd cameo guest slot!)”

His break comes after his interview with MP Lisa Nandy got very heated. 

Martin pressed Ms Nandy on the government’s failure to reach those most in need, describing the policy as a “huge flaw.”

But his followers thanked him for holding the government to account and said his passionate final episode was a good way to bow out.

Commenting on his X post, one follower said: “Good way to end it on a high note.”

While another wrote: “Thank you. No-one else could do what you do, with such warmth, humour & straight-talking.”
