MARTIN LEWIS TO FRONT HOW TO WIN AT BOARDGAMES ITV SPECIAL

Martin Lewis is utterly obsessed with board games - he even proposed to his wife using Scrabble - and has set himself a festive mission: giving you the best chances of beating your family and friends this Christmas just like he does every year!

Being Martin, there’s obviously more to it than just games - there’s financial life lessons as well! Across this festive programme, Britain’s most trusted man will give us the kind of top advice we expect – but this time via board games.

He’ll spotlight the top tactics and game-winning tricks behind the UK’s most popular board games - including Monopoly, Scrabble and Connect 4 - and in the process try to take on the toughest of competitors while improving his own gameplay skills.

Meanwhile, The Martin Lewis Money Show returns for 2024 with a new series aimed at saving viewers cash, an increasing priority for many in a cost-of-living crisis.

Martin, whose decade-plus run in primetime has made his show one of the most-watched current affairs programmes on UK television, dispenses money tips, tricks and hacks about everything from mortgages to Easter egg shopping - he also quizzes the bosses of energy firms and insurance companies and some of the most senior politicians in the country.

Joined by broadcaster and ex-Olympic athlete Jeanette Kwakye across a variety of live and pre-recorded shows, ITV’s financial guru takes questions coming from the studio audience as well as from people across the country.

The programme tackles subjects including the Budget, energy price caps, the relationship between money and mental health and seasonal spending changes. With a no-nonsense approach to finance delivering important and relevant information across a range of subjects, the show has helped millions save cash and understand their own finances.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
